Just booked the recommended hotel thank you. Do you have any tips for a cheap car hiring place or would you recommend to bus or Uber? I am traveling in July

[@travelforphoebe]

You are welcome! You can try GoRentals like we did, or look for the comparison car rental link in the description of most of our videos :)

Another great exciting show guys!! New Zealand has been on my bucket list every time I fly down to Australia but have yet to make. I am more of a summer and beach and hiker kind of gal. To much of snow in my life here in Canada!! Look forward to your next adventure and hope whatever the family emergency was it turned out ok.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha I totally understand that, Sandra! I bet the beaches are a very enjoyable change after all that snow :) Bet you can't wait to travel to a gorgeous beach again ASAP! Thanks for the kindness and support :) Hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Phoebe x

I love the Canyon Swing!!

[@travelforphoebe]

Have you done it before??

[@Whathec]

@@travelforphoebe Yes! It was such a fun experience, I did the tricycle and the slide and just had a blast.

[@travelforphoebe]

😂🙌🏻 the tricycle is so comical!

[@youngcrippen]

OK - jumping off a cliff now! That's up a level of crazy from last week! Still smiling the whole way down too! Now the pub crawl - I would be all over that! 😁 Another great episode. NZ liiks stunning. I can't wait to see what you guys are bringing us next.

Just found you on KZbin and loving all the vids on New Zealand.. A place we were lucky enough to visit when our daughter lived there and would happily move to.. keep up the good work 👍 John & Tracey from Brighton, UK

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much John and Tracey!! You're so kind :D Did you love NZ? It's one of those places we keep going back to time and time again - it's just so beautiful. Phoebe x

@@travelforphoebe Hi Phoebe and we fell in love with N.Z and the people. Just so friendly.. I could only get 3 weeks off work but could have done with much longer.. we do plan on going back out there ASAP and also visiting Australia.. Take care in Oz and hope the restrictions ease for you soon. xx

Well done Little Grey Box - I think Phoebe needs her own food show. Always eating 😆.. Good Job Matt on all the Videography. Bungeeeee

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha YES! ALWAYS eating!! Life's too short to miss out on great food, right?! :) Thanks for watching. P x

[@ouradventerousdays]

Thanks for the awesomen ep. I love Queenstown but I don't think we will ever going to do what u guys did. Our heart is not strong enough 🤣. Enjoy your little break Matt.

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahah I thought my insides were going to liquify and I'd lose the courage to do it!! SO scary and SO much fun :) Don't worry, we'll do all the crazy things and you can just live vicariously through us! P xx

Everything looked great but that cold stuff I never want to see. You can keep it lol thanks for the video Phoebe and Matt

Beautiful ♥️ vlog nice 👍 burger 🍔😊 watching fr jamaica 😎🌅🏖️

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much!! OMG that burger was sooooo good!! Thanks for watching :) Phoebe x

[@FelixCattenstart]

“Sometimes I’m the tool”, I feel you Phoebe 🤪! Tabasco is my favorite sauce, next time I’ll order a gallon instead of the small bottles, I’m using it way too often haha. Gluten-free cookies, so nice 🤤. Even with the clouds the skyline looks good.Haha the guy was teasing you guys by being unable to cut the cord. You made me laugh with the chair, so much fun to see. And to make it worse, Matt goes with the bike! Oh oh, Phoebe’s going Russian 🇷🇺 in the Ice bar. Thanks for sharing your Queenstown adventure, hopefully I’ll be able to visit in 2022! Have a great week 🤙

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahaha so glad you feel me there, Felix!! You would love their home-made tobasco - nice and spicy but a good depth of flavour too, not just the 'watery' stuff you get sometimes. Would you do the Canyon Swing?? I'm guessing YES! P x

[@FelixCattenstart]

@@travelforphoebe I’d definitely do the Canyon Swing!

[@travelforphoebe]

I KNEW IT

[@leannerobintahi]

this was also me guys keep it up

[@travelforphoebe]

THANK YOU so much!! Phoebe xx

[@shinji112]

Can't believe it's taken you this long to try Fergburger. I was a 2min walk from Fergburger last year and I was having it for breakfast lunch and dinner lol

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha right?! What were we doing all this time?? So weird! It was worth the wait though :) Phoebe x

[@photonspark]

Nooo, missing that area big time, was there exactly 2 years ago, want to go back! How did you guys miss the lockdowns? You deserve your own travel channel on TV, better than Getaway🙂

[@travelforphoebe]

I know! How lucky were we with lockdown?! I began planning our trip back in May and we got over from mid June to mid July, shooting all our videos over 3 1/2 weeks. The timing was perfect! oh my gosh... THANK YOU... I cannot tell you how much that means :) That's the dream! Phoebe xx

[@photonspark]

I was in Te Anau ready to do Milford Sound the next day, but the road closed due to a landslide. I didn't even feel that bad as I was thankful for what I've already seen, a reason to go back one day! Glad you could share your journey with us🙂

[@VietnamWalkingTV]

Great vlog. Nice share. Thanks my friend. Have a nice day. Greetings from Vietnam. Have you ever been to Vietnam?

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much! Yes - we've been a few times over the years and love it :) We have some videos on our channel from our time in Vietnam, if you feel like watching them and seeing where we've been! Phoebe x

[@chooooou7784]

😄😄😄

[@aayushgupta1541]

Hey Phoebe! Really like your videos and it's been of great help in planning my upcoming holiday to NZ. which month did you visit here? Also, I am travelling in Sept 2nd half so what weather can be expected in North and South Island?

[@travelforphoebe]

Hello! So glad it was helpful 😊 this was in July and it was very cold. Depending on what kind of climate you’re used to, you can expect it to be cold in September too, I would imagine.

[@BucketListTravellers]

I reckon the anticipation when they're cutting the rope must be scarier than the actual drop!

[@travelforphoebe]

SPOT ON!! It’s deliciously awful 😂 my nerves were a MESS afterwards. I needed to sit down in silence with a block of chocolate and a cup of tea.

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@travelforphoebe haha sounds like the perfect way to recover!

[@jackdouglas254]

My wife likes Stewart Island. Have you ever thought of doing several videos about that place in New Zealand?

[@travelforphoebe]

No, I haven't! I'll have to check it out :)

[@ShaynaSKZ_685]

Hehey Phoebe love all your videos. Just wondering whether you had to pay for each canyon swing? Thanks 😊

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much! From memory I’m pretty sure I paid a base rate then paid per extra swing but they were cheaper 🥰

[@juandamin8137]

Really want to go to NZ, one day...

[@travelforphoebe]

Yesss!! What places do you most want to visit??

[@liamjohnson2474]

7:03 a wine tour is just a 33 years old's pub crawl 🤣🤣🤣

[@travelforphoebe]

that's a hot take! hahahahaha

[@Mansiang978]

raining in the middle of ski trip? never !

[@travelforphoebe]

Why did I read this in a Southern accent?? 😂😂 Well I do declare!!

[@NomadShifu]

We recommend a minimum of 2 days in Queenstown to get a taste of what this charming town has to offer. However, if you've got plenty of time up your sleeve, you could comfortably spend 5 days in Queenstown to get a feel for the region.

[@travelforphoebe]

Yes!! Such good advice - we always find ourselves staying 2-3 nights and never make it through our list of things to do :) It's a great excuse to keep coming back, that's for sure. Phoebe x

[@kushaldave8619]

When did you visit? We are planning for October, is this rainy time of the year?

[@travelforphoebe]

We visited in July! There were a few rainy days when we visited, not sure if that’s typical or not. Google it for more info 🤙🏻

[@qiulinglau9550]

Hello Phoebe! Can I know what kind of jacket did you wear in Queenstown city as per your video? Looking for something like yours, with the fur hat! Very stylish!

[@travelforphoebe]

Hello! The green and purple jackets are ski jackets and the black one I got from the north face many many years ago - it has lasted so well. Not sure if it has an exact name, it’s just a really well insulated, weather proof jacket that goes with everything!

[@qiulinglau9550]

@@travelforphoebe Thanks for the reply Phoebe! Are your Ski jackets heavy? Was thinking if I should buy such jackets when I travel to the South Island this August :)

[@travelforphoebe]

Of course 😍🙏🏼 no, they aren’t too heavy. They just take up a bit of space. I would definitely recommend getting one for your trip - they’re the kind of thing you buy once and use forever. I’ve had some of mine for 10 years or so!

[@94vrcommodore]

I’ve realised I commented Cardrona is the best. I haven’t been to Coronet. Do you think it’s better for beginners?

[@travelforphoebe]

Haha oof it’s hard to choose! I guess I’d say Cardrona has a little more ground to cover for beginners - maybe a few more runs to choose from. I love the runs and views at Coronet as well and my favourite thing is their Night Ski! They’ve got live music, fire pits, pizzas, beers etc. It’s a great vibe!

[@94vrcommodore]

@@travelforphoebe awesome. I might try Coronet next time I visit NZ. Something different. Keep up the good work

[@Paris45627]

Nz a playground for the young

[@travelforphoebe]

Haha YES! Like one big adventure park set in the most beautiful place in the world.
