+1 on Wanaka. Great area and not so touristy. For those who visit NZ for the first time, be sure and get a pie. Not a cherry or apple, but a meat pie. The best things since cold beer...I normally get beef and mushroom. It's a good thing NZ is so far from where I live, or I'd be a life-sized version of the Pillsbury doughboy.
