I'd say you would be just as well off using a car and staying at motels
(most of which have a kitchenette in NZ). By the time you pay higher fuel
costs over a car, more hire cost, and camp ground fees you have just about
made up the difference.
Bed and breakfast does exist, but you may have to look for it.
Just before Christmas in Australia isn't too crowded, generally the mass
holiday exodus starts immediately afterward - I should imagine NZ to be
similar. But if you're staying on the west coast of the South Island, there
isn't a huge amount of accommodation and booking ahead may be wise.
If you're renting a car, firms like Ace Rentals offer slightly older but
reliable cars at a significantly cheaper rental than the multinational
majors . They use three or four year old vehicles imported from Japan.
