I agree, I would like at least a month for a good visit. Two weeks for the North Island and at least two weeks for the South Island. I grew up in the North Island in Whanganui, but I never got a chance to visit the South Island. It was always on my bucket list. There is so many majestic mountains and history in the South Island!
Sometimes I "drive" the Google map street views of Whanganui and look at our old houses and my late Oma's house.
