Wanaka's Hidden Gems (day trip from Queenstown)

[@nickandraychel]

Thanks for watching! Y'all we're not going to lie - this has been a WEEEEEK. We've been working overtime, trying to get a million things done at once, and now our old 'Rover is headed to the mechanic. On top of that, we're just a few weeks away from moving to the North Island and we can't wait to share where we'll be moving to! Once again, so grateful for you to be here, and we'll see you next week xx

If you are going to the North Island before April 14, there is a cool gravel road, the rainbow road, from Hanmer Springs to St Arnaud. You have to ford a couple of streams but with your vehicle it should not be a problem. There is a campground at lake Tennyson which is about halfway. There is a toll on the road, because it goes thru Rainbow station, a private sheep station. It is $60 cash per car.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Knowing that you are moving to the North Island, may I make a suggestion of a great place to spend some of your time and a bit of money? That would be the Orakei Korako Geothermal Park.Somewhat 'off the beaten track', the Hidden Valley lies nestled in the Taupo Volcanic Zone between Taupo and Rotorua. It is a mere 25 minute drive from Taupo and 45 from Rotorua, and not far from State Highway 1 and State Highway 5. You get a bit of a boat ride in the bargain. We are off to Australia vanning around for a few months so we look forward to catching upi with your adventures on our return in July. All the best and safe travels. Oh one more thing try to get to Nelson on your way north. You will not be disappointed.

Dope video :) may i just note the "secret sauna" is not in Wānaka, its in my home town of beautiful Lake Hāwea. Close but two very different places

[@AgunziLFC]

Still boggles my mind that theres Canadians that are allergic to snow and the cold hahahaha. Who'dve thunk! :D

[@nickandraychel]

Hahahhaha I grew up in winters where the snow was up to my hips and it was -30°C. I became an adult and said never again hahahha

just use the cameras audio and make it seem like you're doing what you're doing with normal actions, stop sticking that microphone in your face and making it feel like you're presenting some sort of news for a television broadcast or something. that is all i have to say. keep it real and stop faking.

[@nickandraychel]

Nah we’re having fun. Thanks for the suggestion!
