Our FIRST TIME Staying In A TINY HOUSE | New Zealand (worse than we thought?)

[@OskarandDan]

THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING AND BEING THE BEST SUPPORT ALWAYS😍 Country 100 here we gooo!!! Have you stayed in a tiny house? How does our experience make you feel about trying it out?😉

[@Devon881]

I stayed in a shipping container hotel in a theme park before(Water rides and limited space does not go well)but your house looks lovely!😂

[@Latexhandske]

I had a very tiny camper back in the 80s behind my Ford Escort Cab. I did 6 weeks in Europe on the road!

[@martinsmallwood9605]

The mindset of a tiny home What do you need? I went from 120 sq meter 2 bedroom house to a 45 foot boat then to a 10 sq meters cabin. In that journey I off loaded lots of crap I did not need . The ""I" is still here. Nowadays its a large house in Northland NZ with the bush and birds outside the door. The lesions I learnt from down sizing will stay with me forever .

[@Latexhandske]

@@martinsmallwood9605 That`s a good one Martin! I feel som much "richer" when I sold and gave away some crap.

[@mayraruiz8761]

I am so envious, guys. I lived in New Zealand for two years. I just want to be back!!! I loved it.!!! NZ is the paradise on earth!!!!

[@OskarandDan]

It's everything🥲

[@MariaMarquez-ok4hf]

I live in the US and have a dear friend who lives in NZ. I shared your video with him. I love your videos! New Zealand is beautiful and you two are so lovable!

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

US dollar to the NZ dollar (called the Kiwi) is at a pretty good advantage at the moment, pretty good time to visit your friend?

[@Tanias112]

All NZ streets are small! I am so pleased you made it to NZ. And yes, Queenstown is beautiful; never bungy jumped, never will. I did do the helicopter Shotover river jet boat ride 2nd trip and the rapid rafting, not on the Shotover as it was closed due to flooding on my first trip to Queenstown. look forward to your second video.

[@alan-ek1lj]

Aside from the breathtaking views, the amazing tiny house and scrumptious food the real delight is in sharing these wondrous experiences with you fascinating guys. The work you put into creating the videos with music and humour and history and empathy is truly epic. Here's to some R and R...and hopefully for your viewers more adventures. I think it would be fun seeing you having adventures in your home venues!!!

[@OskarandDan]

Thank you so much🙏❤️

[@joshbottz]

So glad you guys had such a great experience in Queenstown! There is magic in these mountains. Did you see a keyboard player playing piano tunes on the waterfront? If you did, that was me!

[@ardikapradnya7040]

I love how Oskar and Dan have been travelling so much to many developing countries that being in a developed country with super efficient system pretty much fascinated them loll :D

[@OskarandDan]

😂🤣

[@hilmont9296]

Such a great video on Queenstown. You really both do such an amazing job on your channel. I think I recognize Fernhill too! Nice one!

[@davidlogan4329]

So good to see you both having such a great time! It all looks so beautiful and peaceful. Look after yourselves dear Oskar and Dan. You two are the very best sharing all your wonderful experiences! Happy New Year by the way. Glad you're enjoying the warmth of a southern hemisphere summer rather than the cold of old Europe in winter. Best always, David

[@davidburrow5895]

I'm going to New Zealand this summer (southern hemisphere winter). I was supposed to go when COVID started, and it's been hard to wait. Your video makes me even more excited for the trip.

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

Be sure to pack warm cloths and good rain jacket.

[@justaddbricks5527]

This video brings back so many wonderful memories from my time in Queenstown. The views there are out of this world and I totally agree that it feels so unreal while also feeling so familiar at the same time. What I would have recommended doing is getting the toboggan down the mountain - it was honestly so fun! Really looking forward to this series, least of all for my own enjoyment and memories, but also to see you guys really enjoying it!

[@archiethegoblin]

I never get tired of going to Queenstown. It’s always a different experience everytime I’m in there!

[@OskarandDan]

It's a slice of heaven🥲

[@bendavis6530]

As a kiwi Queenstown is the one place I go to over and over. You can only hope to retire there when you’re old 😂❤ love the video.

[@mktc99]

I live in Wellington and the first time I went to Queenstown I also couldn't comprehend its beauty! Hope you both enjoy your time in Aotearoa NZ ☺🇳🇿

[@jarrodh8041]

Is it Oskar adding the funny clips in the edits😂😂. The one w/NeNe Leekes “Not the white fridge” too funny. What an amazing AirBnB and the views, Queenstown is definitely on the travel destination list now. Thanks and safe travels. All the best everyone for 2023!

[@OskarandDan]

Glad you appreciate the edits😂😉

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

Thank you your comments on the inconvenience of staying independent from a hotel. We are building a couple of quest cottages on our off the grid property in the Far North of New Zealand. I have been considering supplying fresh organic fruit n veg, cereal etc in a complimentary basket for our quests as we live quite remote by NZ standards. Fortunately we can now legally build up to 30m2 cabins now, so our cabins will be a bit more comfortable. Just a comment as well on that very small log fireplace in the tiny house. Fire places have to be installed by professionals and a permit is required by council. So yes, the fire is safe to use.

[@angies6pack]

New Zealand has been on my bucket list for years and your video has only convinced me to push hubby harder to make that a reality. So beautful!

[@ad4m4z1ng7]

I really recommend going. Us kiwis love outsiders! We’d love you to come!

[@xiongbear.travel]

New Zealand is so beautiful! Hope to go there someday. Thanks for sharing and congrats on visiting 100 countries!

[@DaveLakers]

Queenstown is my favourite place on Earth. I'm glad you guys found it as beautiful as I did.

[@OskarandDan]

It's truly STUNNING

[@anthonykinney28]

Good to see you in New Zealand thanks for coming here.

[@markelliott6112]

Thrilled that you managed to experience queenstown. I'm lucky that I can drive there in 5 hours from my home in Christchurch. We have friends who have a holiday house on the lake, so we visit every year. I hope you managed to get a vegan option at Ferg Burger. Can't wait for the next episode guys. Cheers mate.

[@OskarandDan]

Omg we tried queuing for Ferg probably three times but every time the line was over an hour😱

[@heatherdavies1894]

So beautiful, it looks like a painted backdrop from a film. Yes the world is a small place. I got on the sky train in Bangkok one day, we were only visiting for 3 days and who should get into our carriage but the boyfriend of our friend and they don't even live in Bangkok. Now you know how busy the sky train is and how frequently it runs, what was the odds of him getting on that same carriage on the same day as us 🤯

[@manjakucing3880]

I did bungy jump at the same place… kawarau bridge… and i did skydive too… Queenstown is soooo amazingly beautiful…

[@madeinaotearoanz]

Welcome to my beautiful country! 🇳🇿 Congratulations on 💯.

[@Devon881]

Well done on visiting 100 Countries!🎉Yay New Zealand!😂

[@stepcots]

Thanks guys, what a stunning vlog!

[@blossomct]

I've always wondered what NZ looked like and it's beautiful and what a fancy looking places around too!!

[@aquasagleo]

OMG, I did it. I just got back from a trip to SE Asia, got Covid and have been isolating watching every. single. episode of Oskar + Dan because it's my new favourite travel channel. Thanks, guys! I see so much of myself in you both :) Love from Sydney, Australia.

[@OskarandDan]

OH MY GOSH, every single one?🥺❤️ Thank you so much, hope your recovery is going smoothly!!

[@timvantori]

Congrats on the 100th country! On a side note I can't believe you guys went to Queenstown around the same I did! Would've had a massive fanboy moment ngl

[@OskarandDan]

Aaw sad we missed each other! Thank you😍

[@juniorcampbell2980]

I love Queenstown. I had a trip planned in 2020, (just at the start of the pandemic) checked in for the flight to Queenstown but was denied boarding because NZ had closed its border to anyone who had been in China in the previous 2 weeks. Luckily I’ll be able to make that trip in the next few weeks. So looking forward to being back in Queenstown.

[@owen8681]

Great lodgings ! What an angelic view

[@iandingle3640]

Congratulations on Country 100! Great choice, New Zealand is a very interesting place to visit! Debate is which direction to start North to South Island or vice versa!

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

There's only 2 large international airports with lots of international connections - Auckland in the north of the North Island which is the major population centre in the country with about 1/4 of the total pop living there. Then Christchurch, which is on the middle of the South Island east coast, and the South Island largest city. Theres 2 other smaller international airports, Wellington, the capital (and my home town) at the bottom of the North Island ,and Queenstown (which is in inland & about 1/3 from the bottom of the south Island). Wellington and Queenstown both have physical limitations to their runway length so pretty much the only international flights are from Australia (about 3 hrs flight away). Due these logistical limits it means generally you either fly to Auckland or Christchurch and then travel round and leave from the other, of the same you flew in to. The other thing to bear in mind is the you need a minimum of 2 and half weeks to do both Islands and thats missing out a lot of amazing places and activities and doing a lot of long days driving or taking flights between regional airports. If you have 2 weeks or less you are much better just picking one island and leave visiting the other to another trip.

[@alicia2085]

I'm so happy about your 100th country. Feels really special 🥲

Congrats on 100 countries. I loved Queenstown and want to go back!

[@Pallibasher]

That tiny home looks soo cute and cozy, and amazing views!! Not sure how I would feel about staying in a place where I couldn't even fit my suitcase though ;) I think it's interesting to see the dates when a video was actually filmed, it gives the perspective!

[@OskarandDan]

It was a bit of a struggle😂 But worth it for two nights!

[@allanolandria2011]

Welcome to New Zealand guys. Queenstown is my favourite place in NZ. Hope you can visit Auckland too

[@allanolandria2011]

Oscar and Dan are you still in Auckland?

[@willplays4876]

And NZ is where bungee jumping originates. Thanks for visiting us ❤

[@keiram.2287]

Adding this country to my traveling list. Soo beautiful 💕👏🏽

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Please tell me you didn’t go up the gondola without trying the luge?! So much fun! 👌🥳🚗

[@OskarandDan]

We've done luges before😂 Didn't feel like splurging this time haha

@@OskarandDan Fair enough. I was there in November and that was my first luge. Loved it. 😍

As always, THANK YOU❤️❤️

[@reaperx2657]

Oskar it's wonderful that you slept so well in this tiny house. I would invite you and your viewers who have had similar experiences of randomly and unexpectedly sleeping much better than usual in certain locations to start asking why. What environmental factor was present or absent in this place that affects my sleep in most hotels or at home? Why can't I always sleep like this?

[@Andy_M986]

Had you gone to Pac n Save,you would have seen the world's best location for a Supermarket, with the remarkables behind it.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

I used New World when I was in NZ and loved it, too. I really want to go back soon. Living in AZ, it is fairly easy just a hop from LAX. Spending money is an entirely different thing...

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job you guys.

[@TheWhore2culture]

Dear Boys,LOVED this,totally worth it just to see the joy on your faces & hesr the utter excitement you imbued into every second. Watching this, I feel its not just been a follow your adventures around the world, but,living the experiences vicariously through you both. It's been a heartwarming insight into one of the sweetest & most wholesome relationships anywhere on The Internet, you're a breath of fresh air in such a disposable world,thank you for sharing your life journey - as opposed to just your adventures - & it's been a privilege & an honour getting to "know" such a charming couple. As I've said before your children are going to be SO lucky as well as loved & you will be fabulous parents. I don't know where you are in real terms ATM ,but I'm in a cold damp,dark Chelsea ,central London at 1.45am on 6th January 2023! I hope the New Year is bringing you both, everything you wish for & continues to bring you love,joy & adventures. You're an inspiration to so many young AND old travellers & members of The Community, kudos. Wishing you&yours Very Best Wishes for the coming year & the future. I look forward as always, to see where you end up next, "around the World "💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤💯⭐'s💯👋✌

[@ericburton5163]

Congrats on country 100! I have to say at first as a person from the Great Lakes region of the US, I was like how do they get away with a door like that in a house? And then I remembered my friends who visited New Zealand describing the weather there compared to ours and just started crying...

[@Breakups2Makeup]

I still can't believe that you made it to country 100! I'm so glad you were able to get to NZ especially since it was closed off for international travel for a while. The tiny home is kinda cool but I don't think I could stay there for more than 2 days lol You left me on a cliffhanger...literally lol Can't wait for the next video!

[@Bonnieh1048]

So beautiful!! I want to go!

[@myke29]

Eating Hells pizza with a knife and fork is pretty funny to this kiwi... 🤣 Glad you enjoyed your time in Queenstown... it definitely is beautiful, but unfortunately one of those tourist towns which is just too expensive for most people to visit (easily the most expensive town in NZ). And also is very much a winter (skiing) town. Far more beautiful with all those hills covered in snow! Next time you come you'll have to spend some time in the North island and explore the rest of the country!

[@OskarandDan]

How do you not eat a pizza with that many topping with a fork and knife🤣

[@josepinard30]

So nice, thank you for sharing.

[@jennifermilan693]

Happy New Year guys! Did you make it here to New Zealand before the end of last year? I still want to see your Egypt trip too. I can't find it. Do you have a link to it? And remember, if you ever come back here. I will buy you guys dinner! Take care and love seeing you around the world LOL!

[@OskarandDan]

I am a relatively new subscriber from Finland and sorry to ask this - but how tall are you guys? 😆 I'm just the average 6'. Also our prime minister just visited New Zealand the first time ever and said New Zealand and Finland are mostly the same - ehm..how? Finland and Sweden are mostly the same imo but New Zealand. Oh and congrats on the 100th country! You should do IT there as well - as an IT expert I guide you to use a new Mac and using AWS services. (Edit: Sorry KIWIs and Australians i advance. my life experience is only of living and working in various countries in Europe and the US. Somehow New Zealand and Australia have not been on my map - but will be as soon as I have the time)

I see a runway 😆 🤣

[@fabiolacroes2322]

Love that view! ⛰ I can't even imagine living in a place like that where you can enjoy such views every single day (typed from the flat and drab Netherlands 🤣). I remember the Sims as well. For some reason, I used to enjoy designing the Sims' homes more than "playing" with the Sims themselves. One weird thing I used to do is design a house with a first floor and then remove the ground floor so you'd be left with a kind of floating house with just a staircase going straight up. Only in the Sims. 😆

[@OskarandDan]

Omg, creating families and building houses was the best part of the game😆

[@user-uy6uc5ey5q]

In Queensland one of the Northern states of Australia there are many houses with that very design you had, called rather unimaginatively, Queenslanders. As the State has a either tropical or semi tropical climate, before Air-conditioning, building on stilts allows air to circulate under the House to cool it down. Also lowered the amount of large spiders and snakes that came in the house as well.

As they wouldn't be able to rent a room and share the same bed, plus as US passport holders theres the risk of kidnapping as well I suspect you be waiting awhile.
