  2. The Catlins… This region at the southernmost part of New Zealand is a mix of deserted sweeping beaches that go on and on and on, a rugged coastline, formidable cliffs, watchful lighthouses, rivers, lakes, dense forests and rolling hills in all shades of green dotted with zillions of grazing sheep.NewZealand-103

  4. Abel Tasman National Park with hikes through the rainforest taking you to deserted golden beaches.NewZealand-105
