We have gotten so lucky with places. If you are ever back to Krakow we stayed at the most interesting top floor apt. It was cheap, and easy and close to the jewish quarter between that and old town, and the Castle. It was prefect. Not that any of us are going anyplace anytime soon. I know you all loved it, so did we. But only because we followed your vids almost to the T did it make it so special. :) Hope you all are doing good.

[@k_soup_13]

spent many hours of my childhood fishing off that wharf. used to get a scoop of chips and buttered bread from that fish and chip shop to keep us sustained while trying to catch the big one!

[@maheshdesilva7211]

I have been in new zealand.i worked as a dairy farm worker.i have been in mata mata,putaruru and teawamutu,what a nice memories are in new zealand .still i"ll try to go to new zealand .

[@DaneAndStacey]

Sounds like you got to visit some great places! Hopefully you can come back sometime!

[@LozsLeisure]

I’m loving these NZ vids already! 🇳🇿

[@JuneK618]

Wow NZ is breathtaking. This will be on my list too. And Fish and chips!! I wouldn’t mind having those as well 😋!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Its an amazing place! Hope you can get here some day

[@BrandonWilling]

Home is just so peaceful and calm and we always take it for granted. Everyone is just so chill but we don't realize how good we have it when we are there. Amazing stuff can't wait to see more.

[@DaneAndStacey]

So true man, so true. This trip has been an amazing reminder.

[@TheGumbootGarden]

Just took a drive through Matakana yesterday for the public holiday. If you’re near Matakana, you can’t skip out on Tawharanui Regional Park. The beach there is absolutely amazing!! 😍

[@DaneAndStacey]

Tawharanui is such a great spot, used to go up there often in our teens and loved it!

[@davidgross9321]

Absolutely beautiful. Lucky you two to get to come home to New Zealand. I wouldn't leave!

[@DaneAndStacey]

We're gonna have to pull ourselves away!

[@williehannon9306]

New Zealand is stunning, kind of similar to Ireland in places but more diverse and spectacular . Your editing if flawless you carry us along beautifully . Thanks really enjoying this.

[@DaneAndStacey]

"Your editing if flawless you carry us along beautifully" making us blush over here!

[@RexWaldron]

That waterfall was amazing! Both of your accommodations have been in fantastic locations on this trip so far. Fish and Chips - a national dish shared by Kiwis and Brits and when prepared properly, just so delicious. That fish looked top quality!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Bad F&C put the good ones to shame, thats for sure. Have to say we've had nothing but amazing F&C in the UK and NZ though, won't spoil it by trying it else where!

[@soulitsa3930]

NZ is so picturesque! I remember seeing LOTR and Hobbit and was amazed at how beautiful nature is there!!!

[@DaneAndStacey]

They probably didn't have to do much editing!

[@vickie3272]

Hey guys Love your videos. Next stop should be Kenya,then Tanzania then Zanzibar. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍the most beautiful places

[@DaneAndStacey]

Sounds amazing! These places are on our list 😍

[@Zyzzdeuch]

Doubtless Bay... hidden gem

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Another really nice AirBnb, great views from the living room. The fish did look good, I like thick pieces too. Had to laugh at the bird casually wandering in to the shop.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Got some brave gulls up here, just walking in hoping for a quick takeaway 🤣

[@waynemakka1324]

Outside of Dunedin in the South Island is a little lakeside town called Waihola, the fish & chip shop was our lunch stop I had to go back & ask why the scallops & COD we had were The BEST seafood I,d ever had, the answer was they were caught that morning & delivered to the shop by the fisherman Fresh is SO awesome , never knew it could be so good.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thats a bloody good sign then! Often think the most advertised places arent always the best, glad you found a little gem

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Great video Beautiful views 🥰 and lovley Air bnb

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

More wonders of NZ! That chippie looked great btw. Loving the journey :)

[@angie23575]

Matakana is so beautiful! If anyone from overseas is reading this I highly recommend Matakana A+++

[@tally1604]

My favorite city in NZ is defo Wellington. Beautiful harbor, relaxed pace of life, great food.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Such a relaxed and friendly scene in Wellington

[@robertmaddelena7890]

Very nice guys.Such a nice vibe there.

[@alaindeleon2171]

Love seeing all nature.

[@melaimoncatar]

Awwww too cold to swim! LOL on the tomato sauce, that would surely confuse us Filipinos. It has always been catsup or ketchup FTW. Stay cool, stalking you with much of love from VN 💖💖💖💖💖

[@DaneAndStacey]

Oh yo catsup for the win! With a red horse of course haha

[@tonyannawelsh3189]

Thanks guys, great content as usual, always giving a personal viewpoint of surroundings. Even though we have traveled the world from Australia, we have not traveled NZ. Your content makes us now want to do a local road trip in NZ. Looking forward to the rest of your videos in NZ. Blessings on your week.

[@DaneAndStacey]

So kind, thanks guys. NZ is the perfect country for a road trip - you've got to do it at some stage.

[@KensAlpaca]

Love your food vids! You guys are the cutest!

[@gillowens24]

This places looks beautiful

[@DaneAndStacey]

It really is!

[@Sashaaa17]

If you guys love waterfalls which I’m pretty sure you do 😁. You’d be best to check out the Devils Punchbowl Falls walk. It’s about a 35min hike up in Arthur’s Pass. Arthur’s Pass is about 2hrs from Christchurch and there is also an awesome lookout called Viaduct Lookout in Otira. Otira is the next town past Arthur’s pass. You get to spend time with lots of Kea and they are so tame, you can pretty much walk right up to them and sit next to them if you are quiet enough 😊

[@DaneAndStacey]

Now that sounds cool! We've got some friends in Christchurch, we need to visit and do some missions from there soon

[@regthomas8929]

You can go anywhere in NZ & get good fish & chips & pies. Churr love you NZ can't wait to get home one day for a feed & for our kaimoanna & a real Hangi 🤙🤙🤙

[@DaneAndStacey]

That's so true! NZ does bloody good food 😍

[@annettehomewood895]

Loving this...you guys are amazing together x

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks Annette

Loving sharing it!

[@leoprg5330]

NZ looks absolutely beautiful! Thanks for showing us! Have to say, the prices shown are very little when watching from mobile phone.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying! Ah yeah we're quite minimal with our designs so probably need to make em bigger

[@tonyhalahan5199]

Good video. Just two comments...we found that the fish shop shown in Mangonui was expensive, and locals do not go there. Secondly we found that Airbnb places often exaggerate their facilities. Caution is suggested with Airbnb.!

[@charlieallan5318]

Great video guys it looks amazing there, currently watching from Brussels after I booked this trip after seeing your vlogs, only got here today but seems great already!

[@DaneAndStacey]

So stoked with that - hope you loved it?!

[@SuperHariata]

I like that FnC shop. Have you tried blue cod FnC on Rakiura - Stewart Island, though. From the Kai Cart. They just cannot be beaten

[@DaneAndStacey]

Must be incredibly fresh if it's on Steward Island - sounds good to us!

[@SuperHariata]

@@DaneAndStacey The thing is, blue cod has a different taste in the deep south. The colder water makes a difference. Not only ultra fresh, but flavoursome. Happy travels

[@TheAmeris]

i used to work at Warkworth Toyota ..... On your way down stop at Chocolate Brown you will not regret it!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Been to Chocolate Brown a few times, delicious place! So tempting though

[@samandnick]

So beautiful! Can't wait to make our way to NZ! Any must see cities other than the one's in your video?

[@DaneAndStacey]

Queenstown is a real winner guys, can't miss it. Videos from there soon 😀

[@samandnick]

@@DaneAndStacey Good to know! Thanks so much!

[@fishbanglatv6211]

Nice fishing

[@GraceP356]

Oh my gosh I love the fish and chips from mangonui! Use to go there all the time!! If use like raw fish yous have to try the ones they sell at the opononi fish and chip shop it's the best!! And I hope use tried the chocolate from makana choc factory in kerikeri when use visited. I grew up in kerikeri yeyah!!!

[@DaneAndStacey]

They're definitely some of the best! Kerikeri is a beautiful little place 😀

[@lonial242]

Road Trip !! We so enjoyed ours with our youngest when she was 8, great video work guys 📷👀👌 OK, here's our big question of the day: Do you take in Brokenwood Mysteries while you're back home ? It's one of our favs.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Embarrassed to say we've never heard of it! I just Googled it, going to watch the trailer now...

[@JofBalmonte]

I'm loving this series! ❤

[@smallmovezmusic]

I'm thrilled you guys have NZ videos. I've been watching your travels in the Balkans and Thailand and I just discovered the NZ vids. I've always wanted to go but we don't go to many island nations because we travel with our dog. It may be time to get him a rabies titer test so we can come check things out. Is New Zealand very dog friendly?

[@lailaagrado]

With so much driving recently, i could not not ask you guys, what is your drive music playlist? Why that waterfall is called Rainbow? How come we never have after a tour of the flats after you finish using them? ;)

[@jameslittle3931]

[@DaneAndStacey]

Interesting!

[@Edwin__Official]

Far out $31.50! It better be the best fish & chips ever 😂

[@Justgregular88]

I know right, that's Insane pricing. From what I saw, it should have been no more than $15

[@josephhapp9]

Edwin Ng fresh caught makes the difference. In Western Australia local Crayfish were bought out by China for New Year Celebrations. Over $100.00 EACH. Local West Aussie’s couldn’t afford. Then Coronavirus hits and China cancels orders. We still cant get Crayfish. All tied up with big companies.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Definitely pricey! There were cheaper options for fish though

[@maheshdesilva7211]

Kia ora,

[@DaneAndStacey]

Kia Ora!

[@tally1604]

Is your air quality affected at all because of all the wildfires in Australia? I know the distance is 2000 miles or so, but still.

[@DaneAndStacey]

In places, yes. Apparently some of the South Island snow turned grey in colour

[@Annnna312]

my kiwi eyes was pretty sure it saw chatter rings 9:39

YES! Damn I was going hard on those for like an hour haha #memories

Not hard to work out why the Lord of the rings was filmed in NZ, amazing place. Look forward to you guys showing the snowcaps of the South Island.

[@DaneAndStacey]

So true! Even more obvious in the South Island for sure

[@tonyw9803]

Tourist trap...Nice fish, very small portions and frozen chips!! plenty of better places for F&C's

[@DaneAndStacey]

Probably right in terms of there being better places, though this was delicious it was pricey!

[@wolfriderpack]

[@broadsword6650]

NZ looks beautiful and fresh! If I may comment on your editing: your vids aren’t long enough to use casting forward shots at the top. Casting forward is an annoying gimmick at best, but on short vids it is confusing too, cos it feels like we’ve already just seen things that you’re really only just properly showing to us now. Weird! Trust the viewers - we want to watch you, no need to “tempt” us in! 😀 Cheers - happy trails.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Definitely appreciate your thoughts on it, the fact that you mentioned it means that you're a 'proper viewer' who sticks around. Sadly, if you were to see the analytics of any channel similar to ours you'd see that the average view time is about 5 minutes. People get bored. Most people leave early. The snippets aren't really for people like you (who we LOVE the most because you watch all) but for the people that have stumbled in and are curious.

[@broadsword6650]

OK, but if you’re adding snippets and most people are only watching for a few minutes, the snippet strategy isn’t working, is it? 😄 Can’t cure impatience or lack of interest, and not everything is going to appeal to everyone, so I say make videos for the audience that does watch, not the one that doesn’t. All the best!

[@thepiehunter2633]

Should have gone into the town just in from the Manganui fish shop for the best fish n chips. Aunty there makes a mean feed. Manganui fish shop is not what it use to be in the day. 15 years ago it was mean, now its a tourist fullers trap

[@nepiahemopo1702]

Next time try Sawmill beers with your meal. You'll think you died and woke in heaven.

[@markdawson9094]

Not enough focus on the fish and chips

[@DaneAndStacey]

Not enough focus on the positives, Mark...

[@earlmaura670]

too much! I spent 6 months in Kiwi land 40 years ago, Fish and chips cost less than 5 bucks. It was the national tucker of the people!!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Keep in mind this is literally the best in NZ (apparently), the local chippy is a fraction of this cost
