Can anyone recommend a good New Zealand travel guide?

I am planning a trip to New Zealand this December, and thought that a travel guide will be useful as to help us decide where to go. We are starting in Auckland.

you're going to New Zealand?! lucky you. the natives there are way cute and they have awesome accents. try:

lonely planet guides are usually pretty good,most large book stores will have it

try this: http://wikitravel.org/en/New_Zealand
It is not a shiny travel guide, but has a lot of useful info organized in a very convenient way. I like it!

By reading through it, you'll find your own ideas what you want to see and where you want to go... so it is better somehow that you are not required to follow some predefined travel route and someone else's ideas...

+ ad-free!

hope you'll find it useful :-)
