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…

We “Got Lost” and it was AMAZING

What did we discover when we willfully Got Lost on our way to Palmerston North, and the rest of the weekends adventure?

PoTW – Balclutha Bridge

Lanark Street, BalcluthaOur first stop here was entirely by accident, needing somewhere to pass some time before we could drive the last half hour to our accommodation in the Catlins. And it was a fantastic accident. The playground is generously sized, with a good range of play equipment. It is easy access for cars, with

PoTW – Queen Elizabeth Park, Masterton

A massive park. A huge playground, picnic spaces, a cricket oval, a miniature train. Cross the river for deer and a BMX track, cross the road for indoor and outdoor pools.

PoTW – Westburn Reserve, Christchurch

A learn to ride zone, and a playground. Brilliant.

PoTW – Tongariro South Domain, Taupo

A huge space, with a generous playground, the lake nearby, and a monorail train. Well worth a visit.

PotW – Botanic Gardens, Christchurch

A great playground within the massive Hagley Park reserve. If you come to Christchurch and don’t visit, you’ve seriously missed out.

Highlights: 2019

An epic and massive year – highlights of 2019’s huge year of travel are here!

PotW – Kuirau Park, Rotorua

Run around space, clambering equipment and the most divine warm water foot baths to be found on a cold day. Jump on in (but keep your head out of the water!)

PotW – Lakefront, Queenstown

Extended within the last two years, even the adults will have a bit of fun here!
