New Zealand is considered cheap by some and expensive by
other people. It all depends of where you are coming from and how strong your currency is against the NZ dollar. It will also depend on the type of trip you are planning to have with how many people. The minimum necessary to be reasonably comfortable is around NZ$1500 per month. Families with children will need around NZ$2000 per month. And for students is around NZ$1000 per month. For those who are only going for tourism, you should set a side around NZ$40 per day, for accommodation such as a backpackers, food, and one attraction. For the tourist with a little more money you will probably be spending around NZ$ 100 plus per day. It all depends on you and how much you want to spend as well as the time of the year.
