730166 2008-12-17 11:22:00 I myself vote Southland (no bias intended). It has Fiordland, the Catlins, Stewart Island...so many beautiful places in the region. Following that, I'd say the West Coast. There is a lot of the country I have yet to see and would like to hear other people's thoughts, so if you had to name NZ's most naturally beautiful province, what would it be? Kindel (6640)
730167 2008-12-17 11:36:00 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I pick Auckland and its environs. A fantastic mix of urban and rural.

730170 2008-12-17 19:30:00 They're all beautiful, but Fiordland/Central Otago would have to be the most breath-taking the first time you see it; the drive to Milford Sound certainly has that 'wow' factor. nofam (9009)
730171 2008-12-17 20:08:00 Wellington City (not the hutt or anything, just the central city).

Beautiful views of the harbour, lots of forest and generally fab!

Makes me laugh when Southland people claim Fiordland. Its NOT part of Southland.
They always report tourists loving Southland too - when they have visited Milford, Queenstown etc etc.

The Catlins is OK if you like stark landscapes with Wellington type wind.

Stewart Island I can't comment on as the enormous rip-off Ferry price has always put me off. Cheaper to go over Cook Strait!!!!

730173 2008-12-17 20:24:00 Golden Bay/Abel Tasman national Park is really nice, but I'd have to agree with nofam. Central Otago/Fiordland, especially in the Autumn is stunning. wratterus (105)
730174 2008-12-17 20:35:00 Stewart Island, golden beaches, gaint tree ferns and rimu trees. Wildlife everywhere.
