[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks for watching our Stewart Island adventures! We have 2 videos coming up for you this week, a tour of Bronson's office and how he works on the road and the first part of our adventures in Invercargill. Stay tuned 😉

Love the simplicity of this place , a great retreat from the mainstream.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Totally agreed, it was a nice break 😊

[@acerone10]

Thank you from Ohio. Loving seeing your family enjoy your life.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks for watching as always ☺️

That's a beautiful beach. It could be in Abel Tasman. I've noticed that the girls are getting their hiking legs. I'm glad your ferry trip back was OK. I was supposed to fly over for a day trip but the wind was so bad it was cancelled! Next time I'm in the deep south I won't have a hired camper van so could spend a couple of days on Rakiura. I'll still fly over though!!! Thanks for the great video. Happy travels and good luck to Harvey for future Kiwi Guardian post locating.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Yeh I think flying would be a good option! Probably a beautiful way to see the island too. They have got little hikers legs huh! Not much baby fat on them haha, Harvey still has those little chubby baby wrists 😅

There is 1 of those kiwi guardians posts in a garden in Dunedin. The garden is called woodhaugh gardens

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Oh no I think we missed that one 😞

[@caravanlifenz]

I've never been to Stewart Island. Looks like a great place to visit.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

It’s stunning! Well worth visiting 😊

[@tleej26]

Another fab video, how cool that Harvey was able to add to his Kiwi Guardian collection. That feeling of dread to get back on the ferry isn’t great, so pleased it wasn’t as rough again. When we lived there houses had their own big generator for power, we lived at Butterfields Beach.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Oh wow what a spot to live! A generator is a good idea, wonder if people are moving to solar these days!?

[@peanutmack]

Was great to see your perspective of Stewart island. Glad the boat ride went well!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Cheers James! Yeh what a relief that was haha! If we ever went back we would fly I reckon (or stock up on sea sickness remedies)

[@Romeo-lu7wt]

Lovely island, I'm sure it was worth the trip, for us anyway,😂😂, Lots history, animals, Enjoyed Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🇦🇺

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Cheers Bevan! Thanks for watching as always 😁

[@fionalewis3121]

Great video. I have never been to Stewart Island and am shocked by how small the main street is. Thanks for the tour.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Amazing huh! I was thinking it would be full of cute little shops and coffees haha

[@MrShaundarch]

''You just take a photo of it adults and send it to a company...'' pretty cute.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Haha cute huh 😁

[@leopardsgowild]

looks like such a cool place, would be interesting in Winter, when it's freezing, and low light hours. What was the water like for swimming?

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

It was fresh haha, kids swam in their wetsuits! Too cold for us 😅 hope this rain is treating you well!

[@leopardsgowild]

@@AdventuresWithRosy we parked at Miranda with pools... sky is getting lighter, hopefully we've had the worst of it

[@RadRoadAdventures]

Lots of helpful info there, nice one. It does look quiet and peaceful, how long would you have liked to stay there I'm hindsight?

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Hmm good question! 2 full days is good, one for Stewart island and one to explore Ulva island 👍

[@tracymckerchar9037]

Amazing. Im too nervous to go on the ferry (get very sea sick) so living through you thanks!!!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Haha fair enough! You are always welcome to live through us 😁

[@RandyAldred]

Loved the video! We can't wait to go see for ourselves, good advice, we will spend at least 2 days when we go. I do have a general question on camping: How much cash would you recommend keeping on hand for paying for campgrounds like DOC where there are only drop boxes? Thanks again for sharing your adventures!

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Good question, we keep some gold coins for laundry and about $40 cash on us for things like that. Most DOC campgrounds we book online so it’s nice and easy 👍

[@RandyAldred]

@@AdventuresWithRosy Thanks that's very helpful, and glad to hear you can book online. Very helpful, and much appreciated! We will be starting our adventure when we arrive from Canada we think in June.

[@singhdeep2283]

living in nz frm last 8 years bt never get chance to visit south island nd also nt stewert island 🏝️ thinking nw after watching video should goo too see that beauty stuck in bay of plenty

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Yeh it’s a pretty beautiful place to visit! Just so far away haha it’s frustrating!

[@bengmelea8646]

Apparently, if your not a local, visitors a charged a $5 levy which is included in your boat or air ticket, or via honest box if you come over via other means. I don't think any other council in NZ charges a levy for non-rate paying visitors.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Ah gotcha didn’t know that! Makes sense 👍

[@TheAcdcnz]

Ferry is $110 now unfortunately. Also Half the individuals on our boat were sick. Pretty rough journey.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

It’s rough huh! I wonder what it cost to fly over, probably a lot more expensive?

[@MarkDonnelly-j9v]

Hi i like your video

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Thanks for watching Mark!

[@PaulSmith-bb7lv]

Lol. Great video but not for landlubbers on the ferry. After two or three trips the stomach adjusts. Island life is for the tougher generation.

[@AdventuresWithRosy]

Haha you are right, our generation isn’t quite as tough as previous ones 😅
