What I like about Glen and Mado is they appreciate every little thing that many people overlook
22° is just starting to warm up, it's not even summer yet.
36 deg in my van recently! 🔥🥵
For me the first time I have ever seen Petone featured so thanks so much guys. We locals all love Petone for the ethnic diversity variety and history. Your enthusiasm is infectious and the beach and sky really sparkled as you walked back to your car. I hope you will find an opportunity to visit Zealandia during your stay in Wellington. Zealandia is a world-renowned eco-sanctuary right in the heart of the city.
You totally have to go to Te Papa museum before you leave you can see the building by the waterfront, hope you get to visit
Guys, before you go you must visit Te Papa, so interesting. Lots about NZ wildlife, history,Maori culture etc, and FREE to enter ! And Zealandia, a wonderful place of trees and bush in the middle of Wellington, you will see Kaka, a native parrot and so much more. Not free, but worth it.
Petone was the first European settlement in Wellington with settlers arriving on the Aurora on 22 January 1840. Look for Aurora Street named after the ship. Most moved to what became Wellington city within a few months as the land was swampy and prone to floods. Māori probably knew this as their pā were at the beach ends. Pito-one pā at the western end. Hikoikoi pā near the mouth of the Hutt River.
Not summer for another few weeks yet, better start to slip slop slap soon tho
Definitely feels like summer to Us especially to Ireland hahah
@@GlenAndMado ahh understand, the sun will get very strong soon so stock up on the sun screen and have a blast
Im from England uk🏴 just want to say new Zealand looks like such a beautiful country) Christchurch Auckland and Wellington look so cool even the towns near the mountains
Thanks for tuning in brother! hope your enjoying our journey and our insight on the reality here in NZ :) maybe you move here one day! all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
Thank you Mado & Glen. I haven't seen Jackson St for 20 years !! So many memories
Its a really nice area! :) hope you enjoyed the content richard and see you on the other side!
It's still spring here actually, just wait until the summer season actually starts!!! Gon be cooking in our New Zealand heat 😂😂
If you guys have time, you should go into town and jump on one of the electric trains up to Paraparaumu. Its quite scenic and has a couple of long tunnels.
good ideas just discussing this with mado and we may actually may consider it! hope your having a lovely day brother all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
@GlenAndMado do a video of it Glen and Mado. It will be awesome, including the train trip.
Love the Petone op-shops! I do laugh every time you call little hills ‘mountains’😉
I was born in Belfast but raised in NZ. Wellington is my home and loving your videos guys 😊
awh lovely! plenty of irish floating around here in new zealand :) hope your living the dream brother! all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
Went to Wellington on holiday late last year and preferted Petone to the main City.
Loving these vlogs. Never been to New Zealand, it looks beautiful!
Thanks for tuning in Ben! You should definitely pass by and see it’s beauty 🙂
Petone is really cool, with lots of restaurants and bars and boutique shops. There's a lot more cool shops and restaurants that you haven't seen in Petone. A lot of Wellingtonians shop and dine here. By the way, Petone (Peh-Tow-nee) is not a town, but a suburb of Lower Hutt. We live here and it's our favorite place to shop, dine and walk (beach). One of the best places in Wellington to live.
🌺💯 Petone 👍
Petone was it's own town under a Borough Council for 100 years until it was forced to amalgamate with Lower Hutt in 1989. To those of us born and bred before amalgamation, Petone was known as the village and we are the Villagers.
@@shush2139 thanks for the info. Yes I should have mentioned that Petone was once independent and has its own borough.
❤️
Decent try its pronounced by locals as Pee Tony. Its an anglosizing of the original maori name Pito-One
I didn't even think there was any more bin inns left in nz when I was a kid bin inn was life we where there every week sometimes multiple times a week
Love from kerala ❤️ Trivandrum ❤️
Thank you for another great video. Petone has certainly developed and improved since I lived in Wellington. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Hope you managed to find an insect net for sleeping under at Lelepa. What an amazing experience and so so local! Thanks for the videos of Vanuatu guys 🙌
A small tip for your Te Reo Maori pronunciation. If there is a vowel its usually the end of a syllable. so Pe-to-ne. Same goes for double vowels like Tau-ra-nga or Wai-ka-to. Not to overwhelm you, but the 'ng' sound sounds like the end of the word 'going'
Good luck in the South Island guys, great channel. Been bingeing your Kiwi stuff and looking forward to watching your other country travels.
Really Beautiful Town
Not so much a town as a suburb of Lower Hutt, NZ's 6th biggest city by population. Glad you had a good time and found it friendly though :) Jackson St is a great spot.
Enjoying your take on my homeland I've been living in Perth, Western Australia for 25yrs now, I grew up in Petone and around Lower Hutt. Petone when I grew up there it was a pretty bad area definitely changed a bit over the years. Alot different now to when I was last home in 2020
My daughter always stops at the Dutch shop when she goes to Wellington, to get a few treats for her Opa.
Great little shop to pick the goods from the other side of the world up! :) hope your having a lovely day Julia all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
They're building a massive walkway along the waterfront between Petone and Ngauranga (about halfway towards the cbd).
Thanks for exploring our unique town! Hutt Valley on the map!❤
Wooow Glen has such a pep in his step in the intro
If you find it hot at the moment you will be in for a shock over summer!
We’re gonna be melting like ice cream 🍦
Most coffee shops close at 4pm but a lot of bars serve coffee and there are a few late night cafes Shops close at 5.30 6pm but most areas have one late night a week
good to know good to know! Appreciate that Aunt Mimi! :) but we do love a good owl good quality coffee always ❤️😂 hope you had a wonderful day too all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
Yep lived there's for 15 years, admittedly it is a cool place...
I really hope you are at KILIM, it’s one of the best Turkish in NZ in my experience!
Hi Glen and maddo! I've been watching your videos since being in New Zealand and I enjoy watching them, you guys should check out foxton and levin, foxton is a Dutch town, and levin is home for now, i hope you guys can do a vlog on both places. I look forward to seeing more of your vlogs 😊
HEY Lucas hope your having a good day brother! I've just searched the towns and they seem a little bit up from us actually but were heading the opposite way for now towards the south island next week and hopefully can spin by these towns on the way back :) all the best Glen And Mado ❤️
@GlenAndMado yay! Alright guys I really hope you enjoy your stay here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 a must do is the lord of the rings locations, I did them all this year in January and they are located in some beautiful places
I love your videos, but many have a strong strobing effect with indoor lighting, like the start of this one. Mains power in NZ is 50 Hz, so there is a 50 Hz flicker to lighting. At least one of your cameras is probably running on 60 frames /sec, and hence there is a 10 hz beat or flashing. One option is to see if your camera can be set to 50 frames, and try some vids to see if it helps. Not that the issue will stop me wathcing your content, so thanks for the cool stories as your travel around.
Not actually a city (laffs), even a town...Petone is a suburb of Lower Hutt, which is really a suburb of Wellington City (five separate council areas in Greater Wellington, talk about duplication!). This was the original settlement area for British immigrants in the 1840s and 1850s due to the nice shelving beach from the harbour.
It's Petone Said like peh toh nee , thats a long o sound in the middle and strongish E sound at the end
Petone you say Pe to ne. The o is a little longer if I am correct . Maori vowels. How Mado says at the start is the closest :)
Pea - Tony is an approximation
@@jimwithheld7217 No it's really not
if it was pronounced your way it would be spelled Pitoni@@jimwithheld7217
Pah toe knee 😅
Mado & Glen,Question: Why aren’t traffic lights used in NZ?
Aren't they not?? I think you got us on the question 😭🙈😂
I am bigg fan.glen and mado🤍🫂💯
Its Petoneeeeeee
:-)
Awhhhh jaysis 😂😂
go to eastbourne
Do it yourself dogwash probably means theres a hose somewhere :p
Peh to neh ❤
Peh tor neh ...😅
And it’s spring,not summer.
Coming to the South Island?

@@GlenAndMado That's awesome guys. I hope to see you in Christchurch :D
❤ From kerala
The dog walking end is the far end past the closed wharf, the other end is for human walking 🙃
Dog walking at both ends, actually...and the whole beach in winter with the dog on a lead.
@@martinbynion1589 keep the dogs and dog poo down one end and let the kids have the other
Pet-0-knee
If locals tell you how to pronounce the name of a town, listen to them ! It’s pronounced PI TOE NÉE. NOT PI TONE.
actually it is Peh-toh-neh
@@chrisharris1522 either ways it’s not “Pi tone” it’s actually disrespectful when you’ve been advised how to pronounce correctly it and still go against the crowd.
Agreed, I was taught almost 40 years ago in primary school that Maori vowels are ah, eh, ee, oh, uu, but like most European NZers of my vintage we bastardised the language, but now I understand the disrespect it shows to our fellow NZs and undermines our nations mission to raise them up to being truly equal in a land they had more entitlement to than we did@@FPLdownunder
Proud moment, bcoz im from Kerala 🥰🥰
Haha Yeah good guess it was!
Curious.would this be either lower Hutt or upper Hutt? Or is Petone outside lower hutt.looks incredible.... Petone Panthers?@rugby league
@@jaredford8440 Its not really part of either. Petone is just under lower hutt. some may say its part of it and some may say its not haha
Beware of kids please bcse they wil tell the truth 😂this place looking bit part of England
Pe toe knee
Pee Tony 😂
awh jesus😂
Ha ha love the vid guys. i live in whats called the Hutt Valley. and Petone is pronounced pet-tone-ee. keep the vids coming. great stuff!
