California accommodation from NZ$179

There’s a reason California is called the Golden State, and it’s not because of Snoop Dogg’s collection of enormous medallions. Well, that’s not the entire reason. From the sunny weather in Los Angeles to the bright (LED) lights of Silicon Valley, just the idea of California is bathed in a nice warm glow. The clifftop views of the Pacific Ocean from Carmel-by-the-Sea are postcard-perfect. Jack London Square in Oakland pairs great shopping and fascinating literary history in one place. Tons of visitors make their way here each year, and for good reason—no matter where you go in the state, you’re going to find an adventure waiting.

Things to Do in California

No matter where you decide to stay on your California holidays, you’ll find views to make your friends and family back home jealous. Stroll the famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk while eating chewy taffy before heading north to explore the ancient redwood forests, then the foggy hills of San Francisco. Don’t forget to take a photo at the Golden Gate Bridge and eat ace dim sum in Chinatown. Or spend your time shopping and strolling through LA, where you can look for glimpses of your favourite movie stars and get crazy on hot dogs and churros at Disneyland®. Travel south to San Diego for a relaxed beach vibe and museums at Balboa Park. We’ve got deals on hotels in California for everyone’s travel style!
