Mine was Wellington. It was so beautiful.. but wet! I thought Auckland was a copycat of Sydney but I enjoyed exploring the city. I spent a night in Christchurch and stayed in my hotel the whole night. However, people were so lovely. I had a random family that gave me a lift to the Airport.
I lived in Christchurch for 8 years but it would have to be number 2 after Wellington.
