Travelling on a budget should not mean sacrificing comfort or sustainability. New Zealand has thousands of well-rated, affordable hotels across its top cities — many with breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free cancellation included. Auckland, Queenstown and Wellington concentrate the highest-rated inventory; secondary cities deliver consistently sharper value. From-prices in New Zealand start around $69/night.

Capital: New Zealand's Wellington. Currency: NZD. Best months: December–February (summer), June–August (ski).
