Best way to take money to New Zealand

We are off on holiday to New Zealand in 2 weeks and just wondered what the best way is to take money over there? The best we think we have found is a cash passport - Travelex which Tesco are currently offering? Or, is it just better to use a normal bank card and credit card?

Check the charges on your credit cards. We used Halifax Clarity, no currency charges, no charges for purchases and small interest charge for cash withdrawals which can be avoided if you make a payment immediately after making the cash withdrawal. We ended up paying £1.04 for all our withdrawals.0

As above.
As a backup, Barclaycard are now not charging interest on foreign cash withdrawals and, if you bank with Barclays, their debit cards can be used in Westpac ATMs with just a 2.75% handling charge.0 -
Cash Passport Globe is better than the currency card. Metro Bank debit card is the best. You can get one in an hour if you can get to one of their branches within the M25.0
