Frommers books arent written by A.I. like so many of the no-name brands youll see in online bookstores. Nor are they penned by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Naomi Arnold and Kate Evans, both born and bred in New Zealand, and both widely published travel writers. They have visited all of New Zealands best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, and offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget, whether youre a backpacker, on a business trip, or on a honeymoon.
