Coastal Cliff Walk at MANGAWHAI + Sculptureum (Sculpture Walk) in Matakana, Auckland | NEW ZEALAND

Mangawhai is a just a short drive north of Auckland city. It's nestled between beautiful rolling farmlands and the pacific coast.
On our way to the Mangawhai cliff walk, we stopped off first at Mangawhai Tavern to fuel up on some delicious food. This casual dining spot in Mangawhai overlooks the water and has a great menu filled with fabulous mixed cuisines. Excellent place to eat if you're in the area!
Mangawhai Tavern
Address: 2 Moir Street, Mangawhai 0505 , New Zealand
Hours: 11:30am til late everyday
After getting some food in our bellies, we headed out to Mangawhai Heads to attempt the cliff walk there. We struggled for a bit to actually find where to start the Mangawhai cliff walk but we eventually found our way by walking along the beach and asking people if we were on the right track! Thankfully we were. Stunning coastal views and a really cool beach too. It was such a scenic and enjoyable walk. We hope our video helps others find the place easier too!
After our coastal cliff walk, we headed back to the car to look for our Airbnb. Little did we know that it was super close by and literally right next to the beach! The accommodation had an incredible ridge top view overlooking the surf beach and our host was really lovely. We even made friends with a couple of cute canines too on the property.

The next day we made our way back to Auckland but we stopped off in Matakana along the way as we wanted to visit a place we found called Sculptureum. We read great reviews about their art gallery and gardens as well as the restaurant that's there called Rothko. We absolutely loved our meals at Rothko and would happily go back to Matakana just for the dining alone!
The sculpture walk and gardens at Sculptureum was also a really awesome way to spend a peaceful afternoon. They feature 750 works of art from around the world in an impressive private indoor and outdoor gallery. It was a wonderfully unique and captivating experience. We didn't even know where all the time went as we were enjoying our stroll so much!
Sculptureum & Rothko
Address: 40 Omaha Flats Rd, Auckland, NZ
Hours: Both are closed Mon - Wed.
Sculptureum is open Thu - Sun 11am - 5pm
Rothko is open Thu - Sun 11.30am - 3pm but on Fridays they're also open for drinks / bar snacks from 4pm - 7pm and Saturdays dinner is 5pm - 8pm.

[@pailaxo]

you two continue to post all these places I didn’t even know was here in our backyard 😱 that cliff walk looked 👌🏽 Love the vlogs so much guys 😊

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks for dropping by to leave us that message Pai 😁👍 the cliff walk was just awesome still very raw so you can be really immersed with the nature 🌿🥰

[@FoodandFootprints]

Those views look even better with the cloudy skies - more dramatic

[@PeterandYen]

Totally agree 👍

[@feedmeimei]

Wow one of the best lamb shanks?? High praise from Peter!!

[@PeterandYen]

For real the best 🔥🔥🏅🏆

[@jordikeoni]

Yen's outfit really matched the scenery along the coast/beach. Love the colors.

[@PeterandYen]

Aww thank you 😁❤️❤️ I was just legit happy to be able to wear shorts again with the weather slightly warming up 😂👍

[@TheMamuchos]

Nothing like getting some time at the beach. The rocks look crazy cool 😮

[@PeterandYen]

NZ has a ton of amazing beaches but this one was super cool with the rocks and the pretty mixed black and white sand 😍

[@RudyVisuals]

I'm very impressed with the outdoor exhibit. I love how they showcase all the works in a zoo layout. Definitely a very unique place to visit 😃

[@PeterandYen]

The sculptuereum was an awesome exhibit highly recommend it 👍

[@AnSEpisodes]

Peter got us so intrigued on the lamb shank! and yay classic one for Yen! :) and beautiful art sculptures.

[@PeterandYen]

Peter loves lamb shank 🙂👍 and I love fish n chips haha. We're planning to go back for my birthday next week 😁💕

[@PuriandSue]

Love the slow-mo shots of Yen! Seriously, everywhere you guys went, could see the peak of the mountain! You kiwis are so blessed with all the amazing nature!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks guys! We are are blessed with incredible beauty in NZ 😁🇳🇿 haha your this comment landed on our other video!

[@tooks7177]

I just googled the Matakana Sculptureum....and after viewing the photos I think I could seriously contemplate moving back to NZ so that I could secretly live there without no one knowing....my family are more than welcome to come but I feel if I mention it to them they might think I'm crazy and have me locked up...hahaha. The Sculptureum....your right Peter, I didn't think NZ had galleries like that ( but I'm glad it does ). I am completely in Awe with it. ( the polar bear with it's ice enclosure is awesome )

[@PeterandYen]

😁 totally understand hahahaha its a really amazing place. I was saying to the gardeners it must be so rewarding working there. Hope you get a chance to visit with your family sometime in the future 😊 🤙

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

The views from that Airbnb are amazing. Dogs included, nice! Peter’s plate... ufff Looks so soft. That cheesecake looks cool too.

[@PeterandYen]

🤤 the food and the airbnb were epic 👌

[@prajwal7165]

WOW! THE VIEW THROUGH OUT THE VLOG WAS SO SCENIC! ALSO, THE DRONE SHOT! !!HATS OFF TO PETER AND YEN, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

[@PeterandYen]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍

[@PuriandSue]

Lamb shank and mash potato.... what a hearty meal! Love a classic fish and chips... it's calling my name!! Wooo dessert looks amazing too, there's always room for dessert!

[@PeterandYen]

Mmmmmmm both meals were so soo good 🤤

[@darylmckay]

Thanks for uncovering more NZ gems guys. Don't worry about a poor sense of direction, I have a Geography degree and constantly get lost... :)

[@PeterandYen]

😂 thanks Daryl that does make us feel a lil better knowing that but I'm sure you're just being modest 😁

[@darylmckay]

@@PeterandYen there's a good reason I'm not a professional geographer... :)

[@PeterandYen]

😂👍

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Look at that huge mushroom burger! looking delicious! They have such a variety of food there. Ohhhh you got lost! But the view looks incredible though from the lost path.😁 What an adventure! We love the shape and the colors of the rocks on the beach. Beautiful... What an amazing view on the way... Indeed! It looks like a scene from a movie! We are glad you found your way back. 😁 Hi doggies! It's a beautiful Airbnb place with cute friends and stunning views in front. Guys, thanks for taking us around another charming destination.

[@PeterandYen]

Of course y'all would like the dogs 🐕 too 😁 imagine doing a house sitting at this location right! 😁

[@feedmeimei]

Oh wow that restaurant has such a variety of menu items! I don’t think I’ve ever seen ramen, curry, and burgers on the same menu!

[@PeterandYen]

😁 welcome to New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@AnSEpisodes]

Starting with Mushroom burger is amazing! mushroom is one of our most fav veggie, wow that bacon looks super crispy. Nice play guys, we love that kinda place to stay where the backyard is huge and sea view right from it.

[@PeterandYen]

Mine too! (Yen) 🍄😁 it was a delicious burger 🍔 Natalie's Airbnb is in an awesome spot! 👍🙂

[@nickandhelmi]

Yeah 2 hours is decent Peter - i saw a track 6 hours - we were like yeah nope 😵 dont want to be stuck when the sun sets 😩 - lol 5 min already into some peak 🤣🤣 (you found nick and helmi’s preferred tracks)

[@PeterandYen]

😂 the longest track we've done is the tongariro national park day walk which was 8 hours of tough slog. 😁 yeah one is enough beautiful but very tiring. You guys should try it 😂

[@fayevids7391]

Thank you for taking us with you on your travels. And yes Bye Ms B 😂 That lamb shank looked so tender and your reaction to it, Peter was confirmation and wow to say it’s, the BEST (compliment to the chef) Thank you Yen and Peter. The video is 10/10 ❤️

[@PeterandYen]

Oh she was so cute that Ms B 😆 just wanted to play fetch! The food was so good there we're going back next week for my birthday but taking along our parents and my friend so they can try it too 😁 Thank you Faye! 💕💕💕 Hope you have an awesome week! ❤️👋🙂

[@tooks7177]

Wow....I lost count on how many times I watched this video...but really Peter...the lamb shank!...bro your killing me....although that Mangawhai tavern burger ( diverse menu ) Yen had with the crispy bacon & melted cheese - and the Rothko fish'n'chips with the sound of the crunch when Yen took a bite of the battered fish - they both looked extremely delicious, but I feel they will always come 2nd along side that damn lamb shank, ( the potato chips I was eating during this all of a sudden started to taste like garden leaves & twigs. lol ). Guy's any art or anything associated with it I love, so when you did the art gallery/sculpture walk I was completely immersed in it...I don't know what else to say except that its definitely on my bucket list - thanks for showing me that one Peter & Yen......Damn you Lamb Shanks!.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha Tooks I was thinking about you as the lamb shank arrived to when I sliced open that first tender piece of meat 🍖 to when I took the first bite and experienced those heavenly flavors. Yup Tooks would really enjoy this too was my thought 😂 def need to do this bucket list item such a gem 💎

[@PuriandSue]

Very interesting sculptures, I love the garden more! but more surprised that you guys almost got the dog sculpture 😆

[@PeterandYen]

😁 our old apartment had a prism theme going on and it would have gone perfect with the theme and the color palette in there 🤔 in hindsight it was a good decision not getting the $12,000 dog 😅

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh wow Yen's burger really is chunky but it looks so delicious 😋 That restaurant had so much choice. I don't think I've ever seen so many dishes from around the world on one menu!

[@PeterandYen]

😁 that's new Zealand for you. Cause we are so multicultural you can often have many races in the kitchen hence many menu items too 😉

[@PuriandSue]

Yen scared of the many stairs? don't lie, I know you're excited to workout haha!! Getting lost is part of the adventure! Love the beach and the formation of the rocks! If Peter says lots of stairs, he really mean LOTS of stairs for us! The view is AMAZING!! Lol yes typical amazing NZ views! Love the doggies!!! Really lovely accommodation you guys have there! Waking up to NZ view, it's crazy! I would totally pay for that stay!

[@PeterandYen]

The beach ⛱ was so unique cause of all the clean white rocks everywhere with the interesting patterns sprinkled with some colorful rocks too. Hahaha yes that's true new adventures thanks to being lost 😄 imagine waking up to crashing waves every morning that would be the best 😍

[@nickandhelmi]

Yeah that museum is deffo unreal! I love the outdoor section though, neatly done such creativity

[@PeterandYen]

The sculptuereum is a real gem 💎 in New Zealand 🇳🇿 highly recommend it

[@barryeldridge2998]

hi yo guys what can i say ? another amazing place, i think i could spend six months there as that was my kinda place, just love these not so well known places that are not on the main back packers trail. and yes that food did look good and considering the sort of place that it was it actually was not over expensive, an amazing bnb also at a reasonable price. glad to see you both looking so well and thanks for lifting my day . you both take care yeah , waiting in anticipation for the next one haha

[@PeterandYen]

😁 yo Barry 👋 glad you really enjoyed this one. Think mangawhai in particular is quite a local/aucklanders get away area. The matakana sculptuereum was just a gem 💎 of a find in New Zealand didn't even know about it. N you're right it is quite a fancy place but the meal was reasonably priced 😍 and delicious 🤤 we are both doing well, venturing out a bit more now that things are more under control. How are you going over there in the UK?

[@leah436]

I had a huge grin on my face watching you at the Sculptureum. I worked for Council in resource consenting back when the owners were starting the project and was involved in granting their first consent application. The last time I was on the property there was nothing but a plan on paper, and I love seeing that it turned out even better than was imagined! I really have to visit and see the final product ....and try the lamb!

[@PeterandYen]

Thanks for sharing that story with us Leah 😊 always interesting for us to hear how the places we visit have special meanings for people. Hope you do visit soon, n yes have the shank 🤤

[@PuriandSue]

Gosh, what an amazing view even on the highway itself! 0:20 Matakana - I read it as Hakuna Matata at first haha! Omg you guys are making me hungry! Good order on the mushroom burger! Arrrghhh I'm craving for supper now! And great environment too! Peter's meal looks amazing too!

[@PeterandYen]

😂 hakuna matata we were singing that in the car along with other lion king songs this weekend 😁 the food this trip was epic 👌

[@Unukadesign]

Omg that burger was massive! So crazy hehe omg lmfao @ getting lost and without reception too 🙈 glad u guys made it back safely🙏🏽 naww the dogs are so cute and friendly! OH WOW! The airbnb was amazing! Beautiful view as well 👌🏽Great price honestly! Guys the food is making me hungry seriously lmao omg woowww how buzzy is the outdoor sculpturr garden and art gallery 😮🤗🥰definitely cant wait to check out these places too! Alrighty guys catch yous in the next one 🙏🏽🥰

[@PeterandYen]

Matakana was really awesome. The airbnb had the most amazing view and so close to the beach ⛱ good memories. We ended up bringing the family back to see the sculptures and eat there again for yen's birthday 🎂 it was 🔥

[@FoodandFootprints]

That lamb shank!! 🤤🤤🤤 Crazy tender and you weren’t exaggerating about cutting through it like butter

[@PeterandYen]

Ahh man this lamb shank was ridiculously good. Needa have that briyani shank you had to compare 😁

[@nickandhelmi]

I would say it cuts through like heaven 😱😱😱😱😱

[@nickandhelmi]

Look greg they got desserts! Helmi will be very proud and jealous hahhah

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

I know the feeling of not knowing if you’re following the right trail. Oh man, you guys did a lot of walking! Still can’t believe Peter is using sandals.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha sandals are pretty normal attire here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 😆 was at a Cambodian restaurant today and all the guys were in jandals including me 😂👍

[@germaineboatwala-sidhva1079]

Awesome place! Must visit, guys! Thanks for the tiki tour 😍💕. Great food too.

[@PeterandYen]

Both mangawhai and matakana were great spots to explore. Really enjoyed this lil trip out thanks for watching Germaine 😊✌

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Look at that burger! That’s pretty epic. Yen, yes, what’s up with that baby bite. 🤣 That’s cool you can get different kinds of cuisines.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yen always got the baby 👶 bite 🤣

[@RudyVisuals]

The views at the beach are incredible! It's so nice that you can see them from the airbnb too!

[@PeterandYen]

😍 amazing right 🏝 such dramatic scenery that changes as you go to each new horizon ❤

[@AlliandWill]

We're terrible with directions too hahah. Gets us into some sticky situations but makes things more fun sometimes:)

[@PeterandYen]

😂 yeah usually 😂

[@ltoh17]

Wow, love the sculptures and the airbnb by the beach and the two doggies!

[@PeterandYen]

Hehehe yes the doggies were super cute and friendly 😍 matakana and mangawhai were both spectacular ❤

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Gotta have a good endurance and cardio to walk this cliff I bet! Good thing you guys are in amazing shape!!! Nice chill Air Bnb with the dogs wow so nice!!!! Love the big window and cozy view of the outside!!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha yen really doesn't have much endurance and cardio during winter and spring she's normally hibernating. So if she can do it anyone can 😁👍

[@ptrevino7684]

Hi Peter ,Hi Yen ,I loved ur vlog New Zealand is so beautiful.The restaurant and Arts Museum looked great. Thank you guys .👍👍

[@PeterandYen]

No worries 😁 thank you for watching the video glad you enjoyed our lil tour around mangawhai and matakana. Both were great spots 👌

[@feedmeimei]

It looks gorgeous!! Looks like it’s worth the sweat! Haha. So convenient the Airbnb is so close 😱

[@PeterandYen]

[@blackjackamsterdam7075]

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you! It was a great Airbnb. The dogs were so friendly and cute 🙂❤️ We enjoyed Sculptureum so much we went back on my birthday and brought our family there too! (Yen) 😁👍

[@RetirementTravelers]

Great video. We want to make it to New Zealand so badly......As soon as the pandemic is over!!! Thanks for sharing some great food and scenery. New sub here. For now we are visiting National Parks in the US, but dreaming of New Zealand. Good luck with your channel and so glad we found it. Can’t wait to check out more videos.

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you guys and welcome to our channel! 👋 The national parks in US must be absolutely incredible! 😍 We've never been but hope to one day 🤞 Hope you enjoy our other videos from NZ to help give you some insights to what it's like here 😁👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Every time you guys walk by a beach, I always think of how amazing it must be in the Summer

[@PeterandYen]

Dude, seriously there is no where better than new Zealand in summer. That's the pinnacle of awesomeness 😎 ⛱

[@TwoHungryDiners]

When you are in NZ you will never get tired of the best amazing view that NZ has to offer 😍 The cliff walk is nice one to do to digest your big meal of burger and curry haha The dogs are so friendly 😍😍 We would love to play with them too. That lamb shank looks to die for Peter! Good choice 👍🏻 And classic fish and chips for Yen, yum!! Very nice vlog as always guys, loving all the NZ road trip videos from you guys ❤️

[@PeterandYen]

That's so true.. the beauty is just so breathtaking 🙂❤️🇳🇿 hahaha yes! Always enjoy a good walk after a heavy meal 😆👍 rothko was so yum we're going back again next week for my birthday but this time taking our parents and friend along 🙂✌️

[@MikkiShihTzu]

That coastal cliff walk is a nice adventure....getting lost is part of the fun right!!! Haha at least you had a good meal to energize yourself for the cliff walk

[@PeterandYen]

😁 yes the curry 🍛 and the burger 🍔 was being put to good use for this adventure

[@kiwisunshine9631]

Oh wow, I spent a lot of my childhood growing up in Mangawhai! This video bought back many many happy memories for me, and a little sadness as Mangawhai has become so built up. It doesn't have the same feeling as it used to. Still a beautiful place though and will always hold a special place in my heart. Glad you enjoyed yourselves!

[@PeterandYen]

We're glad it was able to bring back some memories for you 😊 there are so many mega Bach mansions there 😅 must be the getaway destination of choice. The area is still beautiful and raw though and its nice to be able to stay at an airbnb right next to the ocean 😍

[@MikkiShihTzu]

Wow that lamb stank is big! Juicy and tender goodness..its a win win!!!

[@PeterandYen]

Mmmmmm hmmmmmmm 🤤

[@TheMamuchos]

Really cool gallery, love the designs and how the gallery is arranged

[@PeterandYen]

The whole place was really well maintained and looked after. We chatted with one of the gardeners there and they had a tough time after a recent flood plus the lockdown proof earlier in the year when no one was allowed to work there but they've done such an amazing job and the place was beautiful. Very immersive! 💕💕

[@StewartVlogs]

Mean as burger Yen! We really need to do trail walk for sure but it’s a little scary here with snakes and mountain lions here... Man that Airbnb is super dope! I really do miss me a good NZ lamb shank, delicious 🤤 plate! Ok, we’ll need to check out that restaurant then...

[@PeterandYen]

Snakes and mountain lions! 😮 Sounds so dangerous! I remember reading a news article about how a guy got attacked by a mountain lion while out on a run and survived to tell the tale! The Airbnb was awesome. Such a great view ay 🙂 def gotta check Rothko out next time you guys are back in NZ 😁👍

[@morenatrooper1438]

Awesome episode this week love that airbnb and ofc the food And hey stunning legs Yen👌

[@PeterandYen]

Hahah too kind! ❤️ Thank you Morena 😅😁💕👋 Hope you have an awesome week!

[@FoodandFootprints]

That Steve Jobs piece is dope

[@PeterandYen]

The owners are a big fan of Steve Jobs so there were multiple pieces paying homage to him

[@SeoulMan2020]

Horse in the dining room would be epic.. especially if you mount the horse and grind on a big tender piece of lamb shank! Thanks for the sweet tour of the coast!!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha can picture that 🤣 the horse 🐎 as i remember was 40,000 and I'm pretty sure the dog was 12,000 😅

[@SeoulMan2020]

@@PeterandYen $40k??? I just looked up prices on a real horse... You can buy one for about $3000.00. $40,000 will get you enough horses to move a small army😁 By the way, Izzy vs Costa this weekend!

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha 😂 when you put it like that.... dude can't wait for this weekend line up. The Khamzat fight already has me hyped!

[@PeterandYen]

Who have you got to win?

[@SeoulMan2020]

Peter and Yen yeah, Khamzat is definitely living up to the hype... ah man... up until today I was leaning slightly towards Izzy.. but after watching Countdown (especially the part about Jungle Fights - watch Countdown if you haven’t)... i have a feeling Costa...might...just...dare I say... pull off... the win😲😲😲😲 🇳🇿 🇧🇷 I can’t imagine it not being a fun fight... I’m pumped!!!

Yea it's always awesome running into our amazing supporters whenever we're out and about! ❤️ Still surprises us whenever it happens and especially when we're in small towns! 💕💕 Man we're ridiculous with directions 😅 thank goodness for friendly locals that we could ask to find our way lol. Natalie has such a fantastic Airbnb spot and the 2 doggies were adorable just wanting to play all the time 🙂 the gardens and sculptures were so cool ay. A captivating and immersive experience especially if you like art and gardens! 🌳🎨👍

[@stevee7556]

Awesome that you went to the Sculptureum. Have been thinking about going there for a while and it looks amazing. There's another place up that way called Gibbs Farm which is supposed to be absolutely spectacular. Think it's only open to the public one weekend a year and is almost impossible to get tickets to. Some real unexpected gems in New Zealand eh.

[@PeterandYen]

Yes! Gibbs farm o my gosh we've been on a 3 month waiting list to go there hahahaha in November I think we can finally get our tickets 🎟 😄 definitely check out the sculptuereum when you can it was extremely impressive 👌

[@PeterandYen]

Can't wait to see it! Awesome you get a view of it Paolo 👍

[@FoodandFootprints]

[@LanaTiare]

Peter and Yen True! Never seen beaches like it elsewhere either! You definitely can appreciate them more after travelling I reckon. That’s good to hear! All is good here, just making the most of summer while it still lasts 😆

I had never heard of a mushroom burger before, great views from that hike plus those surfers looked like they caught some great waves. It's been such a long time since I've had lamb.

[@PeterandYen]

Oh really? I thought it was quite common for vegetarian burgers but I had mine injected with that bacon haha 😆👍🍔🥓 yea I think it's a pretty popular surf beach! Heaps of great views along the cliff walk 😁👍

Bacon!!! Maria would definitely get that mushroom burger. I would just steal her bacon 😂😂

[@PeterandYen]

Haha it was such a delicious burger! 😋🤤

[@nickandhelmi]

Mushroom burger then you add bacon! Heyy Yen 🤪, thought you went veggie for a bit there then whammy! Did you say mom’s curry peter? 😮

[@PeterandYen]

Yup mums curry 🍛 made by the Indian chefs in the kitchen so good 👍 hahaha yen would not be a vegetarian

We had a trip to Matakana shortly after the first lockdown. Food at Rothko was fabulous. Sadly, the outdoor sculpture garden was closed to public at that time for maintenance. The little creek behind the Matakana village is also amazing. 🤗

[@PeterandYen]

O no bummer about the outdoor garden being closed. We heard from the gardener that after the first lockdown it was in pretty beat up shape cause no one was allowed to work then. Thanks for the recommendation the little creek sounds awesome will visit there next time we're feasting at Rothko 😁👌

[@MichaelKamson]

love the artworks at the scultureum...it's absolutely amazing!!!

[@PeterandYen]

😁👌 yen n I both really enjoyed these activities and the sculptuereum was just epic going there again for yen's birthday 🎂

[@MichaelKamson]

@@PeterandYen that's awesome, I posted an island hopping video...its more just pics etc of my recent travels this side, go check it out and perhaps it's something to look at doing next time you guys come to Taiwan

[@PeterandYen]

Oh awesome will def check it out! We didn't get any notification from KZbin though unless you just posted it last night or we missed it... But then again we know YT notifications can be buggy!

[@PeterandYen]

@@MichaelKamson your comments for that video are turned off but looks like you had a great time and got to enjoy heaps of beach life too! 🙂👍

[@MichaelKamson]

@@PeterandYen thanks for letting me know, just checked it and changed the setting. You can go comment on it now if you want to, thanks for taking a look at it though.

That papadom looks full of cumin seeds 😋

[@PeterandYen]

It was 🤤 extremely fragrant

[@tylerwaxman7512]

Cool! Another high quality volg, I really like the light green rock by the sea. Have you tried local Māori traditional dinner? Fifteen years ago there's famous study shown that the local Māori people eat quite raw meat dinner, so light cooked that causes their teeth issues. I am a bit surprised to see the bone-in meat Peter ordered for his lunch actually was very fully cooked. Have to say so well done :).

[@PeterandYen]

Thank you Tyler 😁👍 we've had a hangi many times before as well as rewana bread and pudding. Haven't tried the traditional dinner that you've mentioned though. Is there anywhere you know that you can experience this? Hahaha yeah the lamb shank was minnnnt

[@bengmelea8646]

Just looked up that cliffs walk in Google Maps and there is a link to the DOC website with a detailed map showing the Mangawhai Cliffs Walkway.

[@PeterandYen]

😅 we were trying to look that up on the day too but unfortunately there isn't any data from the beach.

[@thecongenital3035]

I love mangawhai

[@PeterandYen]

It's a sweet place! ✌️😊

[@nickandhelmi]

Are you sharing the airbnb there? Seems like on the other side there could be another room?

[@PeterandYen]

The owners still live there, so you're staying in their guest house 🏠

[@franmase2857]

love from wellington !!! love your guys videos and your long ass walks lol. I tried the pizza place you guys had in Welly and it was so good :)

[@PeterandYen]

Awesome glad you enjoyed that pizza! I've been dreaming about going back there and eating two pizzas 🤤

[@LaurensCarlier]

Thx so much

[@LaurensCarlier]

Was it a good time

[@TheMamuchos]

I keep hearing the word "walk" and now "stairs" and I'm already tired lol

[@PeterandYen]

Aw man when I saw the stairs at that "not the cliff walk" I was already bracing myself for my legs to fall off 😂

Hey guys. I have heard that New Zealand stands second in the world for workplace bullying. Is this true?

We have no idea sorry. Curious what in this video triggered that question? 😅
