|New Zealand is a 'quality' destination
According to a study by Alliance & Leicester, New Zealand ranked first out of 14 countries as the cheapest place to live.
However, visitors staying in tourist areas such as Bay of Islands hotels can also look forward to living the good life while on their stay, with New Zealand ranking top for quality of life too.
Simon Ripton, acting managing director of Alliance & Leicester International, explained that New Zealand offers a "high quality of life at a reasonable cost".
He also notes that it has strong cultural links with the UK, which may appeal to many British tourists.
New Zealand only just pipped neighbouring Australia to the quality of life top spot.
Italy, Spain, Portugal and France also ranked highly in terms of quality of life, but all failed to emulate that enjoyed down under.
