Victoria’s Great Alpine Road links Wangaratta with Bairnsdale, winding through mountains, valleys and forests, and past rivers, vineyards and farms. Over five easy-going days, you will taste regional produce, stretch your legs on short alpine walks, and unwind by rivers and lakes without rushing your campervan between stops.

If you are dreaming of a slow-paced Queenstown road trip with big scenery, heritage towns, great local food, and plenty of time to simply pull up and enjoy the view, this 5 day itinerary is a lovely way to experience the Central Otago region. Starting and ending in Queenstown, this route loops through Arrowtown, Cromwell, Bannockburn, Clyde, Alexandra, and St Bathans before returning to the lakes and mountains of Queenstown. It is designed for couples travelling by campervan who want to keep driving light and spend more time walking historic streets, tasting regional produce, and unwinding at campgrounds. Whether you are planning a long weekend escape or looking for a short New Zealand road trip with a little romance and a lot of character, this itinerary exploring some of the Central Otago touring route delivers a memorable mix of food, history, and open-air adventure. 

If you are dreaming of a relaxed Christchurch road trip that blends coast, mountains and wine country, this 5-day round trip is a great fit. Starting and finishing in Christchurch New Zealand, this campervan itinerary links three rewarding South Island escapes: Kaikōura for marine wildlife and dramatic coastal views, Hanmer Springs for alpine scenery and hot pools, and Waipara Valley for vineyard lunches and cellar door afternoons. The drives are comfortably paced, each leg stays under three hours, and the full route sits at around 455 km depending on your campground choices and any small detours along the way. That makes it an easy Christchurch itinerary for travellers who want variety without spending all day behind the wheel. 

This route is especially appealing if you enjoy a slower travel style. You can wake up by the sea, soak in thermal pools the next day, then finish among North Canterbury vines before easing back into the city. It is a short loop, but it packs in some of the best experiences within easy reach of Christchurch.
