Am planning a trip to NZ for next Jan. and want to rent an apartment/house for part of our time there. Does anyone know of some good resources to research this?
Comments on good locations also appreciated, we like areas by beach in smaller communities such as Wanaka.
Also looking for ideas on rentals in Fiji and Hawaii preferably Maui.

Thanks. Christo.

Google "self-catering accommodations" for the areas you are interested in. Wotif.com also lists self-catering apartments. You can also check:

There are lots of other resources available; I am sure others will offer more suggestions for you.
