Favourite summer holiday spots
Hi everyone,
We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

Ambergris is a wax-like substance secreted in sperm whale intestines. It protects the whale's stomach from its abrasive diet of beaked squid. It has been used for centuries in expensive perfumes, as it traps aroma on the skin for long periods.
Its relative rarity also means it can attract hefty prices – more than $10,000 a kilogram. Read more here.
