Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from United Kingdom to New Zealand?
Yes. New Zealand uses Type I sockets, which United Kingdom plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

New Zealand runs at 230V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
