Despite being the capital of the Northland Region, Whangarei is not a huge place. With a population of just over 50,000, it is more a town than a city; a pretty port sitting on the inlet with which it shares a name (Whangarei Harbour). That name has a certain romance – in the language of the local Ngāti Wai tribe, it loosely means “to gather”, and refers to the whales which have been known to congregate in these calm tides. The Maori bloodline runs deep here.

Whangarei is devoted to New Zealand’s love of sport. Rugby is significant news here, with key fixtures taking place at Semenoff Stadium; an 18,500-capacity stadium which hosted two matches during the 2011 World Cup.

It is all but impossible to visit New Zealand without spending time in Auckland, the country's biggest city.

No rugby supporter can realistically avoid the call of Auckland, generally regarded as New Zealand's spiritual home and the ultimate challenge for visiting teams. The Auckland Museum and the New Zealand Maritime Museum carry guests through various facets of national history; Auckland Art Gallery houses a visual feast of painting and sculpture, including works by Maori artists. And the Sky Tower climbs to 1,076ft (328m) as the second tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere – offering widescreen views of the city and the coast beyond.

Hamilton sits a mere 75 miles south of its larger metropolitan sibling – and, as the capital of the Waikato region, offers a great deal to entertain its guests. The Waikato Museum delves into local culture via works by New Zealand artists such as Michael Parekōwhai. There are lively food and music scenes – with regular festivals throughout the calendar. And shopping is something of an artform, with three major malls in the centre.

Rugby has its place too, of course. The FMG Stadium holds 25,800 spectators, and hosted three games at the 2011 World Cup (including the very one-sided fixture between New Zealand and Japan, which the host nation won 83-7 on the way to taking the crown).

You know you have reached the bottom of the North Island when you arrive in Wellington. The New Zealand capital enjoys a glorious location, gazing out across the waters of the Cook Strait, with the South Island shimmering in the distance. But while it is certainly worth continuing your journey on towards the country’s second act, spending time in this little city (of just 210,000 people) brings its own reward.

And what of rugby? The city adores it. The proof is the Sky Stadium – a noisy crucible that can hold 34,500 people (around one sixth of the official population).

Smaller and more relaxed than it's big brother Auckland, Christchurch is home to less than a third of its population (400,000 people). Located roughly a third of the way down the South Island’s east coast, Christchurch is both an obvious stop on a tour of the country, and a gem that can be explored in a couple of days. The ambience of the paths of Hagley Park, the flora of the Botanic Gardens and the dining scene on High and Castle Streets add to the gentle atmosphere in a city where life moves at an unhurried pace.

It is also a comeback kid. Christchurch has reinvented itself following the devastating 2011 earthquake, with landmarks like the innovative (and temporary) “Cardboard Cathedral” reflecting its creativity, while the superb new One NZ stadium, meaning “the strength” in Māori, replaces the old Lancaster Park and ushers in a new era for rugby, hosting the Third and Final Test Match on this British & Irish Women’s Lions Tour.
