Hal yang perlu kamu tau sebelum pergi ke New Zealand⚠️🇳🇿 1. Mau di musim apapun pergi ke NZ nya, harus banget bawa baju dingin ya, minimal jaket tebel satu! Karna cuaca disini itu ga bisa di tebak, 1 hari bisa aja km ngerasain 4 musim lgsg loh! Belum lg anginnya yg suka kenceng. So better prepared than sorry🌞⛈️❄️🌬️ 2. Kalau ragu, mending declare! NZ itu cukup ketat custom nya, terutama sama makanan yg berbahan daging2an. Dan juga sepatu yang hrs bersih, karena disini sangat melindungi flora dan fauna yg mereka punya. Bisa cek dulu di aja di website custom nya NZ. Kalau nekad ga declare, siap2 bayar denda yaa🍎🥩🍯 3. Kalau belanja, apa yang kamu liat itu yang kamu bayar kok, tenang aja. Jd GST nya udah include ya, gak buat km shock di akhir belanja kalau uangnya ga cukup🤭🛍️ 4. Walaupun ada transportasi umum disini, tapi kurang bisa diandelin buat travel sana sini, jadi better untuk sewa mobil atau campervan kalau bener2 mau nikmatin NZ ya🚐🚙 5. Paket data disini muahaaal banget, terus sinyalnya belum tentu bagus juga karena ya ekspektasinya km bukan lagi jalan2 keliling kota, tp jalan2 menikmati keindahan alam. Tapi tenang, beberapa tempat umum ada yang sediain wifi juga kok! 🤳🏻📱 Like and save biar kl mau ke New Zealand bisa baca ini dulu yaa😆 #newzealand #nztravel #nztraveltips #newzealandguide #bukansolotraveler #thingstoknow #nztourism #nztrip #traveltips #traveltipsandtricks #nzguide #nzroadtrip #southislandnz #newzealandtravel #newzealandtravel

🇳🇿 Day 1 & 2: We spent the first two days of our 24-day New Zealand trip at Lake Tekapo, not too far from Christchurch Airport. It was absolutely breathtaking — clear blue waters, surrounded by snow-topped mountains. We decided to skip Christchurch for the first night and head straight there for some peace and quiet. Tekapo is in the middle of one of the largest dark sky reserves and the stars were out of this world! ✨ We stayed at Lakes Edge campsite, which felt so magical for our first night. Oh and Tekapo Hot Springs is a must-visit. Soaking in those pools with the lake and mountains around you is the perfect start to your trip! 🔗Click the link in our bio for the FULL 24-day New Zealand itinerary🔗 #LakeTekapo #NatureEscapes #NewZealandAdventure #ExploreNZ #NZTravel #KiwiExperience #DownUnderDiscovery #NZRoadTrip #ExploreTheSouthIsland #NZMustDo #DiscoverNZ #NZBucketList #TravelNZ #KiwiAdventures #travelwithkids #WanderlustNZ #ExploreMoreNZ #NZBound #TravelingKiwi #nzwithkids #KiwiWanderer #NZExplorers #NZTravelItinerary #NZTripPlanning #NZTravelTips #NZRoadTripItinerary #NZTravelInspiration #NZVacation #NZTravelDiary #NZTravelGoals

Greytown, – (76.6 km north of Wellington). Greytown, named in honour of Governor Sir George Grey, is rich with history as it is Wairarapa’s oldest town. It was New Zealand’s first planned inland town and was established in 1854 by European settlers looking for more affordable portions of land to farm. The main street has beautifully restored Victorian wooden buildings with boutique shops selling a cornucopia of delights! As one site put it, ‘Greytown offers the antithesis of big box shopping or bland and samey malls’. But if shopping isn’t your bag, and trees are your thing, you can go on a Greytown Tree trail. The town has a ‘Tree Advisory Group’ who actively works to preserve trees and maintain the historic tree register. There are also wonderful cycling and walking trails surrounding the district and let us not forget the abundance of stunning wineries to visit! We dedicated a whole day to this activity and had a wonderfully relaxing day eating and sampling wines. #nz #nzmustdo #nz #nztravel #nztravel #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztourism #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel

Makarora West Makarora is located at the top of Lake Wanaka on the Haast Pass Highway, halfway between Wanaka and Haast. The area was known to Māori as Kaika Paekai – ‘The place of abundant food.’ The valley was covered in forest, flax and cabbage trees, this attracted saw-millers to the area in 1861, then came the flax-millers in 1890 and as a result of the clearing, farming began in 1897. The first school was established in 1895. Check out this sweet video about the local school. https://crux.org.nz/southern-lens/southern-lens-the-school-with-nine-pupils/ Makarora is a hikers’ hub and an access point for the Mt Aspiring National Park a Unesco World Heritage Area. But if hiking isn’t your bag, you can also see the park by jet-boat, helicopter or airplane. For a long time there was only a pack track up the Makarora Valley to Haast. It took three decades to build a road which linked up with the rest of the West Coast, it was completed in 1965. Check out the Blue Pools not far from here. https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/otago/places/mount-aspiring-national-park/things-to-do/tracks/blue-pools-track/ #NZ #nzmustdo #nztravel #nztourism #nzhistory #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel

Embracing nature at the Copland Track hot pools is a West Coast wonder we highly recommend checking out! 🍃. Nestled south of Fox Glacier, this captivating hike is a gem on the West Coast. The trailhead is approximately a 50-minute drive from Ribbonwood Retreat. A journey of 55 kilometres, or roughly 7 to 8 hours through lush forests, along rivers, and up alpine vistas leads you here. The best part? It's only a five-minute walk from Welcome Flat Hut to these naturally heated pools. Soaking in the tranquillity, breathing in the fresh air and letting the warmth of the water rejuvenate tired aching muscles from the walk is sensational. Truly a slice of paradise in Glacier Country! 📸: @roadynz

I na severním ostrově je nádherná příroda. Vlastně je to na NZ krásný na každým rohu. ⛰️ ALE ta jejich organizovanost, pravidla, cedulky, striktnost jsou trochu ubíjející. 🫣😄 #tamalakes #lowertamalake #uppertamalake #tongarironationalpark #northisland #newzealand #newzealandnorthisland #nz #nztraveltips #traveltip #nzhiking #mordor

I'm utterly captivated by the beauty of a vibrant rainbow 🌈, and we're indeed fortunate that they are a common sight on the West Coast! This stunning capture of a rainbow at Punakaiki Pancake Rocks is truly breathtaking. Remember to include this spot in your itinerary when journeying to or from Ribbonwood Retreat 🫶🏼⁣ 📸: Charles Brunning

pickled watermelon, fennel, daikon? I’m there @carrick_nz @ Bannockburn / Cromwell, NZ // nibbling through an organic wine tasting flight with choices from the small plates menu: - pork hock scrumpets, courgette & fennel pickle, caper raisin gel, salt & pepper crackling. - cherry tomato & chicory salad w/ pickled watermelon, watermelon vinaigrette, stracchino & capers - crispy chicken (free range), pickled daikon & sriracha mayo - “that muffin” is semi-dried tomato/olive/rosemary focaccia w/ n’duja butter - honey spiced nuts (walnuts cashews peanuts almonds) my choice of organic tasting flight was their standard “estate” run: sauv blanc ‘22, Pinot Gris ‘20, rose ‘23, Pinot Noir ‘21. the Pinot Noir came from the barrels below our table in the cellar below as seen in the video. food was delish but the wine flight i selected didn’t particularly stand out, though I liked having the option to taste while eating, as that’s how I like to enjoy wine. it’s worth giving yourself time to explore the estate here. there are gorgeous scenic views even on an overcast day, and the newly established Lake Dunstan bike trail winds round this way so you’ll see the cyclists coming round for a pit stop at the pizza truck outdoors (an alternative casual eating option on the estate available to all). NZ is a continual gourmet food trail! #holidayswithkids #travelingwithkids #kidfriendly #familyholiday #familytravel #havekidswilltravel #discovernz #realnz #newzealandguide #nztravel #newzealandguide #newzealandtrip #charberttravels #charberttravelsnz #nzsouthisland #nzfoodie #queenstownnz #nzeats #nzfood #worldeatery #wineryrestaurant #eatnewzealand #dietwhatdiet #eeeeeats #fooddiary #nztraveltips #nzwinery #nzrestaurant #carrickwinery #wineanddine

Kowhitirangi, (Known as Koiterangi until the 1950’s) - approx 14 km west of Hokitika. This small town began in the 1800’s when the area was turned into farms to feed the swathes of gold miners who came to the coast to find their fortune. It once had a post office, telephone exchange and a school. The primary school closed in 2000. A book has been written about the area by Helen Stanliland, 'Stories of Kokatahi and Kowhitirangi'. These days one of the most prominent features of Kowhitirangi is the memorial for the seven men who were gunned down near this spot by Stanley Graham. It is a beautiful memorial made by artist Barry Thomson of Glenavy. The large boulder for the memorial came from nearby Diedrichs Creek. On 8 October 1941, Sergeant William Cooper, 43, and Constables Frederick Jordan, 26, and Percy Tulloch, 35 attempted to confiscate rifles off Stanley Graham having received some concerning complaints from neighbours about his erratic behaviour. Stanley shot and killed all four officers as well as George Ridley, who came to assist the wounded. He then fled taking with him his rifles. Local Home Guardsmen were used to guard his house so when Stanley returned he discovered three guardsmen in his house. He opened fire and killed Richard "Maxie" Coulson and Gregory Hutchison. The ensuing manhunt was the biggest in New Zealand history, more than 100 New Zealand Police and several hundred New Zealand Army and Home Guard personnel searched the area for Graham for 12 days. They were ordered to shoot on sight if they found Graham armed. On 20 October, Stanley Graham was shot by Constable James D'Arcy Quirke. As they advanced on him he said, "I'm done - you got me." He died of his wounds and was buried at Hokitika Cemetery. Later that month, the Graham property was burnt to the ground. I highly recommend this book about the incident, ‘BAD BLOOD: The Story of Stanley Graham’, by H.A Willis. Artefacts such as Stan Graham's Winchester model 1895 rifle are housed at the Police Museum. #NZ #nzmustdo #nztravel #nztourism #nzhistory #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel

Kokatahi, Just 7 km down the road from Kowhitirangi and 15 km from Hokitika you will find Kokatahi. Once a bustling rural hub, Kokatahi is still surrounded by farming families, however it is a lot quieter than it was during its heyday. If you want to get a taste of Kokatahi times of old, go along and listen to the famous Kokatahi Band. Rumour has it, this band began at the Kokatahi Hotel. For a drive around the district from the comfort of your computer, take a look at Kokatahi on the facebook page The Coasters Club. #NZ #nzmustdo #nztravel #nztourism #nzhistory #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel

Hurunui Just 83 km from Christchurch on SH7 is the quaint little village of Hurunui. It's well worth a visit as you will get to dine in NZ's longest (continuous) licensed premises, The Hurunui Hotel. In 1860 this hotel actually stood on the banks of the local Hurunui River, but it was moved to it's current location after a mile wide flood! The Hurunui area north of the Hurunui River, was administered as part of the Nelson Province, but after the abolition of the provinces in 1876, the Amuri and Cheviot counties were formed. In the 1989 local government reforms, these counties were merged with Hurunui County to form the present district. For some great yarns about The Hurunui Hotel read Jo Bailey's article in the Essence Magazine. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e9fdc06bdee744a018b3623/t/60f513bab386920ff6e10f4d/1626674167916/NC+JULY+ESSENCE.pdf #hurunuidistrict #NZ #nzmustdo #nztravel #nztourism #nzhistory #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel

Hanmer Springs The first town to feature on this page is one of my favourites- Hanmer Springs. Named after Thomas Hanmer, The first European to discover the hot springs was William Jones in 1859. The first bridge was built in 1864 NZ£2,000 but it was blown over by a Nor'west wind after 10 yrs. The second bridge opened in 1887 and gives access to Hanmer to this day, with the structure registered as a Category I heritage item since 1983. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanmer_Springs #NZ #nzmustdo #nztravel #nztourism #nzhistory #nztraveladventure #nztraveltips #nztour #nztours #nztourist #kiwi #kiwisontour #kiwistravel
