Summary: Not Very Dependable
Comment: I bought this book to help plan a month and a half long trip to New Zealand and Australia staying mostly in hostels. I cannot recommend this book for a reliable source of information for hostels or restaurants. Most restaurants I have tried to find no longer exist. The hostel and attraction prices are wrong (of course these are subject to change), however, the recommended hostels have been hit or miss. There have been some good ones as recommended by the book (Sydney Central YHA, Old Countryhouse in Christchurch, NZ) but there have been some disgustingly unclean (Bondi Beach YHA) and unlivable (Global Palace) recommended highly by this book. I think that a better source of information would be customer reviews on the internet.

Summary: A great choice
Comment: It's a great book. It is very complete and very accurate, most of the times.
I didn't gave it 5 stars because sometimes it isn't very easy to find the information.
I recommend it.

Summary: Usefull stuff in, out with the rest...
Comment: I bought this book 2 months ago while planing a trip to OZ & NZ later on this year.
It is well orgenized (the TOC is region based) and drills down in each area to its unique and famous places.
The book has just the right quantity of information regarding each item with a veriety of maps and side trip activities.
It contains a lot of usefull data about both countries and you can defenetly see the it was written by backpackers.
Reading the book has contributed me a lot in the planing fase of the trip, hopefully i'll be able to compliment it more after i'll return.

| Editorial Reviews: |
Australia and New Zealand are both on the well-trodden backpacker's path, and many young, long-haul travelers go straight from one to the other. Tourism numbers to both countries reflect annual increases (WTO). This is the only guidebook covering Australia and New Zealand together. It is written by an experienced team of local authors and specialist contributors and includes all the practical information needed for big trips on small budgets; a new Highlights section for quick itinerary planning and comprehensive coverage of the best budget buys in transport, accommodation, food and entertainment. Lonely Planet's 25 years of publishing expertise in Australia and New Zealand is unmatched by any competitor.
