ELECTRICITY
New Zealand’s mains electricity is 230/240 volts, 50 hertz. Most hotels and motels have 110 volt AC sockets for electric shavers. You will need
an RJ45 type plug to connect your laptop into a computer socket in New Zealand, and an adaptor with a flat, angled two or three-point power
plug to connect to the power supply.
Electricity supply is generally very good and reliable; most is generated via hydro electric schemes in the South Island.
INSURANCE
It is strongly recommended that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover the duration of your visit to New Zealand and to protect
you against cancellation charges, loss or damage to your luggage and personal effects, loss of cash and medical expenses.
LAPTOPS
You will need an RJ45 type plug to be able to connect your laptop into a computer socket in New Zealand, and an adaptor with a flat, angled
