Frequently Asked Questions

What travel adapter do I need for New Zealand?
New Zealand uses Type I power outlets (same as Australia) with a voltage of 230V/50Hz. You will need a Type I adapter or a universal travel adapter. With a family, we recommend one with built-in USB ports to charge multiple devices — tablets, phones, and cameras — from a single outlet. Holiday park kitchens usually have plenty of outlets too.
