Milford Sound vs Doubtful Sound

One thing everyone asked me when I worked in the Fiordland Tourism industry: “What do you recommend, Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound?”. Well, that depends…

PoTW – Martinborough

Small and well formed. Martinborough is already an escape from reality, and the playground adds to that.

PotW – Margaret Mahy, Christchurch

PotW – Aotea Lagoon, Papakowhai

A big space, with a variety of features. Well worth an explore.

PotW – Carrington Park, Carterton

Right on the fringe of the city Green Belt, this wee park gets lashings of afternoon sunshine and has a good sized carpark.

PotW – Oamaru

A massive reserve, with good parking and plenty of space to run around.
