YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT WE FOUND! Coromandel Hot Water Beach | North Island, New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@johnfox6662]

Love ur vids Glen and Mado, good luck with the rest of your journey and may you have many blessings....

[@BeachcomberNZ]

Tairua is my home town. I live on the top of that mountain you passed at 1.55, called Mt Paku. Paku is an extinct volcano that started forming millions of years ago.

[@flying_k1wi215]

Love Tairua

[@nathanocallaghan2962]

Hey man

[@maganalia]

I laughed out loud when Mado said "You need a shovel or a Glen to dig a hole"

[@WendyBurns-cu4of]

Sorry typo Mado

[@kitkat-i5s]

[@henzypenzy8216]

Hi guys mannn ive enjoyed watching the journey around our beautiful country❤❤❤ Wish yous got a chance to try the pizzas at Te Umu pizza i reckon yous wouldve loved it!!

[@SaltyHeathenNZ]

Ahhh so many memories of spending my childhood holidays down in Tairua. You even drove past my grandmothers old house we used to stay in.

[@mrpachino6014]

You are an awesome couple. Addicted to your videos:) I hope you can come back and live in New Zealand :)

[@GlenAndMado]

wow your comment really touches our hearts honestly ❤️ basically just us being us having a good time and going of the beaten track sometimes haha :) its definitely an amazing country to live in though!

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

You walked past my favourite restaurant in Coromandel town, the Pepper Tree. However breakfast at UMU is very good too.

[@ridgeveiwfarms6260]

love following you guys. i actually got married at cathedral cove back in 2013. lots of fun

[@CaptainKevHaurakiGulf]

access has been cut for ages and doc are not in a hurry

[@WendyBurns-cu4of]

Glen and Mado your have been an asset the you have promoted New Zealand thank you❤😊

[@harrycurrie9664]

I saw that movie "Deliverance" too so it was scary seeing the sign at the gate that said "free Banjo lessons"😜

[@lakelady57]

I wish you had of visited the Driving Creek Railway just out of Coromandel, it an interesting and informative project by one man to reclaim the Kauri in the area and build this private little railway to the top of the hills. Oh well you will have to come back some day and put that on your itinerary :). That place you found with the pigs seems a bit mad glad you moved on.

[@GlenAndMado]

Haha I know it’s hard to visit all recommendations though, always under pressure to see all the highlights. The pig spot was abit dodgy alright! 😂😂🫣

[@BeachcomberNZ]

The 309 Road is a bit of an alternate lifestyler's location. The people who live there aren't your usual holiday home-owning set. On a sunny day, you'll get a different vibe there.

[@rayray2602]

your positive vibes are so awesome. get that Pie Mado.. ✊🏼😁

[@marias8007]

I like your instincts Mado, good call

[@GlenAndMado]

What part was this 😅

[@marias8007]

@@GlenAndMado the pigs in that random spot

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

Spent our honeymoon at Hahei, just down from Cathedral Cove. Absolutely love that part of the country

[@GlenAndMado]

It’s magic isn’t it 🙌

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

@@GlenAndMado Especially in late January when the weather is stable and the water is warm. I live about an hour away now, we can do it as a day trip without drama.

[@user-gslt]

The view is really beautiful,

[@MsHGH1]

You missed the walk to the giant Kauri trees on the 309 road - they are huge! Not as big as NZ's biggest, Tane Mahuta and Te Matua Ngahere, up in Waipoua Forest in Northland, but still worth seeing!

[@lookattheflowers7854]

shovels are at the wee shop there.

[@inked6880]

Very familiar with all those areas having lived in Hikuai. Found it really funny someone suggested the 309 road and the pig farm, made me laugh so much when Mado said what's going on on the 306 road 😂 also Yr comments about Coromandel Town ❤ I would like to suggest visiting Kaiaua and Miranda hot pools? , cheers

[@GlenAndMado]

someone we stayed with thought we would like the 309 road hahaha but honestly its cool to take advice from the locals at times. most people from new zealand love to give us a few recommendations! would of loving to check out the hot pools but not sure if we wll be back in that area unfortunately :(

[@johnmcnulty1129]

"There's a bad vibe around here Glen !" - "Yeah, you carry on by your self Mado, I'll make sure the car's OK !" 😂 Fantastic shoreline area ☀️

[@432htz3]

Are you guys going up to Northland at any stage ? there are some beuatiful beaches and the Waipoua forest is a must visit location.

[@joanesp100]

Reminds me so much of Ireland!

[@amyturner6275]

" stop filming and do something !" most real comment on social media I have heard in ages love it haha, glad you guys didn't get stung !

[@saylarvee]

I went every year 55 years ago I was 10.The pond near the car park was always hot/warm and you had to run like hell to the ocean because the sand was so hot

[@GlenAndMado]

wow id say they were the amazing times in New Zealand! 🇳🇿 that’s insane, we didn’t realise that part became so hot. What happened?

[@geraintroberts565]

Drove the 309 in the opposite direction to you in a small motorhome back in 2020, interesting drive!

[@GlenAndMado]

Yeah definitely of the beaten track! 😂🙌

[@ss2gora0]

You guys look so glowing!

[@GlenAndMado]

Eat eggs everyday 😂

[@lightbearer3643]

Always listen to those feelings they are usually spot on. Beautiful scenes you showed. Those hot pools looked very hot. Watch out for wild pigs tho here in NZ they might eat ya. Hungry ones eat anything. Wild ones are scary and can run fast and can knock ya over.

[@GlenAndMado]

yeah that 309 road was definitely on the dodgy side! but the rest was amazing :) thanks for the advice and hope you have a wonderful day!

[@justjane805]

The man who looks after the pigs, Stu Edmondson, is delightful. He looks after the pigs very well and he was friendly and welcoming to us when we stopped to chat with him. The place is rundown, and there are rusty old cars, but those pigs have a far happier life than most of the pigs who end up on our tables.

[@GlenAndMado]

wish we met him :( would of being awesome. we got told about him actually, our friend met him also but we wanted to catch up when we were there.

[@CaptainKevHaurakiGulf]

@@GlenAndMado Stu must be a good age now I met him few years ago his house was on the left the vehicles although rusty are his and on his private property, pigs need very little to survive water and greenery

[@steventhomas9461]

You should go to the Lost springs in Whitianga

I saw yous in otara when I was busking lol

[@johnstuart8511]

AS ALWAYS: Hello G&M. 👋 Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.

[@jeffcassens1340]

We are going in November for 3 weeks and have enjoyed your videos. How did you get down to cathedral cove? …heard trail was closed. Was really hoping you would have filmed that part.

[@mikefoot9354]

When I was there in March it was officially closed, but people were still going - there was a couple of security fences due to slips, but you could just go around them, and it was safe

[@jeffcassens1340]

Thanks …have read that and seen a few pics. Hoping to be there for a sunrise or sunset if the tide is right so the path may not be as easy to see for us , seeing them doing it all in a vid would have been helpful. Can’t film everything though so I get it. Glen or Mado , maybe you can comment on the difficulty to get down to cathedral cove? Prefer not to take a water taxi when many others could also be there.

[@jeffcassens1340]

Also Glen and Mado… if you ever want to visit the US west coast (Seattle area). You have a place to sleep for a couple days …we won’t even make you work to stay here 😂. Have really enjoyed the videos and have learnt a lot for our own NZ trip coming up. TY

[@jeffcassens1340]

BYOE. … bring your own eggs 😂🤣😂

[@libbysevicke-jones3160]

The trick is to dig your pool closer to the waves and dig out a channel for the cold sea water to cool the hot water. Or bring a bucket. I prefer the hot water beach at Kawhia. No people to put up with.

[@eskaysn]

that place looked like the windows backround thingy (at the beach)

[@graemethomson5167]

Those Hot Pills are awesome

[@WendyBurns-cu4of]

Glen and Madonna your have been an asset the you have promoted New Zealand thank you❤😊

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Great towns in the Coromandel. My prediction for 2024 is that Egg prices will plummet, as there is a glut in the market...i wonder why ! Another gem G & M

[@GlenAndMado]

😂😂😂 I have a feeling they might actually happen with the eggs 🥚 😂 hope you enjoyed buddy!

[@ForevermoreVibe]

Gemstone shops in Coromandel

[@ValerieBailey-y9u]

Discovered the Coromandel when I emigrated here 20 years ago, still love it and so have all the family that have visited from UK. Found good pet friendly accommodation too so the dog always used to come with. They all loved the do-it-yourself hot pools too.

[@michaelphillips8966]

Eggs eggs and more eggs... I'm surprised your little camper van didn't smell like Rotorua every morning... (sorry, just having a laugh) love all your videos... Safe travels wherever you might be now...

[@warren52nz]

I've been there a few times. It's cool... I mean HOT!

[@CaptainKevHaurakiGulf]

on video 32.39 as you pull over an ignore that really tall letterbox..why is it so tall?? why does it have vertical slot ? so mail can be sent while you are seated in the saddle of your horse...No way

I don't know how you timed it for no people at CC. must have been a weekday!!!!

[@GlenAndMado]

you got that correct, it was :)

[@ForevermoreVibe]

You're fortunate because I believe that beach was closed off not long ago because of the rock fall.

[@MarkMcLT]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@KristinaBrookes]

We were there in January and had to do a boat trip to see this as was told you could not walk there. Would have loved to have gone on to the beach

[@hailzmoon4659]

It is still closed..

[@mikefoot9354]

It was closed, but you could still go there, just had to walk around a couple of security fences

The pigs and chickens looked fine and healthy enjoying a piece of NZ lamb, many a dog would be envious.

[@carrier411]

2 sauces is a bit stingy lol. most places would have 3

[@harveywhite8019]

Stuart has just been charged with murder & attempted murder over a double shooting that occurred 4 days ago on the 309 Road. Sounds like 2 pig hunters shot and butchered one of his pigs and maybe this was one time too many!? Anyway, this could spell the end of this particular attraction, lucky (or unlucky) that you saw it when you did!

[@GlenAndMado]

thats insane!! thanks for sharing and such a shame for the pigs!

[@harveywhite8019]

@GlenAndMado Yes outlook not great for the pigs ☹️

[@petertaylor6479]

Where do you sleep, in the car seat?

[@GlenAndMado]

In the bed in the back 😂 double bed buddy! Very comfy

[@camhyde9701]

Thames is pronounced Tems, not Tames =)

[@GlenAndMado]

Sure in an Irish accent it might sound different😂

[@modfus]

Thanks for the video. The pig farm was horrific -3rd world level. I'm surprised it is legal to keep animals in those conditions. I love how Mado cares about the animals 🙂 Lol, "Mr. Dimples" Glen smiling at everyone and bringing happiness and joy 😉😁

[@theunknownunknowns256]

Ummm. Those are probably German yellow jacket wasps... I think. Not sure if it's a derogatory common name or if they actually came from Europe. Either way Mado feel free to call any annoying insects in Germany a kiwi bug or of sorts.

[@marias8007]

😅

[@bernz3025]

We call them German Wasps. They don’t wear jackets.

[@Krissi3707]

Welcome to New Zealand where all the tourist places are beautiful but there are still parts of NZ where you question "heys whats going on here?" and that is the desolate houses and animals and homes where people have no power, run down houses, no power, trees chopped down, and you think you're in an entirely country. Nope this is the other real places of NZ 😢

[@GlenAndMado]

every country has its bad and good, but new zealand still has much more good then other countries in the world. trust us we have seen alot.
