For those who aren't so interested in the retro look, there is the option for the off-road look for no additional cost, you just have to ask.

The Haast pass is definitely a scenic site to see if visiting New Zealand. We suggest Queenstown to Franz Josef for the ride of your life.

This route was traditionally used by Maori heading West in search of jade. Perfect place to go for a December trip, escaping winter conditions right to New Zealand's warm scenic paradise.
