Holidays in Thailand 2011

Throughout the country there are hotels, motels, lodges and a number of other accommodation options available for travellers to stay in during their journey. With so much emphasis placed on luxurious holiday packages, resorts and five star hotels, many seem to have forgotten the thrill and excitement of a week spent in a cabin or tent in some of New Zealand's camping grounds. Forget mints on the pillow, room service and hotel staff carrying your bags for you, the true Kiwi holiday starts by pitching a tent and starting the barbecue in the warm, summer outdoors.
There are a number of camping grounds in every region of the South Island that let you enjoy some amazing and unique experiences. Every region is home to something a little bit different; choosing where to spend a week or two away isn't always easy with so many places to choose from
At the top of the South Island, Marlborough is one of the most beautiful regions in the country. Gorgeous native bush with tracks and trails carved through it for hiking and eco-tours and dolphin watching cruises on the Sounds; Marlborough has a lot to offer any adventurer. The award winning vineyards and wineries in Blenheim also beg a visit during your stay. The Top 10 Blenheim Holiday Park has all the facilities you could want with a barbecue area, playground and coin laundry all available.
Over summer, there's nowhere better for a vacation than Hokitika. The West Coast town has it all with golden beaches, forests and rivers. Surf, fish, hunt, hike, bike and explore the town during your stay. Home to a number of exciting annual events; dress up and don your extravagant hat for the Kumara Race Day in January or enjoy a fun day of golf at the beach at the end of the month for the Sand Dune Classic. The town is also home to the famed Wild Foods Festival where visitors from all over the country gather for a two day festival of fun, laughter and some of the weirdest foods ever eaten. The Hokitika Holiday Park is centrally located and close to the town centre, a quick walk away from anywhere you want to be and offers camp sites, powered sites, cabins and units for a holiday on any budget.
In Canterbury, just outside of Christchurch, Woodend Beach Holiday Park is an incredible 55 acre campsite of park-like ground situated next to a beautiful beach for swimming, surfing and fishing. There are three nearby golf courses and the park is a short drive from a number of the region's wineries. If you haven't explored the Garden City, Woodend Beach is located just a short, half hour drive from the city centre. With playgrounds, a BMX track and plenty to explore, Wooden Beach Holiday Park is a great stay for the whole family. Enjoy the beauty of the South Island and camp in style
