Hey Phoebe and Matt, this was awesome! It was great seeing different things to do in and around Auckland. From start to finish….this was so much fun to watch 🤗
I visited Auckland (and parts of the rest of New Zealand) in 1983 and 1997. Thanks for the video. New Zealand has to be one of the best tourist destinations on the planet. The scenery is breath-taking.
Im a nzer and the haka always gives me Goosebumps!! When there's a big game on the telly, and I may not be interested in the game... I still have to tune in to watch the haka!!
Wow, that's amazing! I didn't expect to feel so emotional, it came out of nowhere. Such an amazing experience :) Thank you so much for watching this one, have a great day ahead Louisa - Phoebe x
It's on my bucket list. Matt, you rock with the video. Stunning and so inviting. Phoebe , Everytime you take a bite at one those great foodie places. I'm hungry.
Didn't he do an amazing job with the edit? So professional! I don't know how he does it :) Thanks so much for the comment and for watching - have a great week ahead. Phoebe xx
One of the historic running clubs on the planet is in Auckland - The Auckland Joggers. I ran through the streets and in the parks with them a few times. Delightful people. Thanks for the look at New Zealand.
This is one of the best travel guides I have ever seen. So professional and well made. I know I will never have the chance to visit this amazing country but you really made me feel like I was there. Thank you so much and congratulations!!
Born a couple of hundred metres from Queen Street so I appreciate you guys showcasing my hometown in such a great light. I used to walk coastal West Auckland tracks in my late teens & early twenties. A wild & special part of Auckland.
Oh wow! What a beautiful spot to grow up, it must've been amazing enjoying all that gorgeous coastline. Thank you so much for watching :) Have a great day! Phoebe x
Really glad you got to experience my country New Zealand 🙂 We are a humble little country and its really nice to see tourist enjoy our landscape and our culture...If i can i would suggest if you ever think about coming back to visit our South Island, its breath taking for even us kiwis 🙂
I used this video to plan our recent trip to Auckland and I have to tell everyone-her recommendations are spot on!! Cordis is an amazing hotel. The beds are perfect (wanted to steal it!). They have an hourly shuttle from the hotel to the CBD (corner of Queen Street and Customs Street). Eight Restaurant is fantastic for breakfast (those Fern Waffles!) and dinner. Also, we spent a few hours at the All Blacks Experience and the Weta Unleashed and cannot recommend them enough. The Haka presentations were incredible (they now do the women’s Haka too!) and anyone interested in movies must do Weta (she’s right-you don’t need to be a LOTR fan, but it helps). If you’re planning an Auckland trip, stay at Cordis! There’s lots to do at the resort, there are plenty of small family-type restaurants right nearby on Queens Street, and there’s a convenience store conveniently less than a block away (be sure to get those NZ snacks-like anything by Whittakers chocolate!) Thanks, again, Phoebe-you guided us well on our bucket-list trip and we are forever grateful!
I hear you! Those beaches are so beautiful. I've never visited New Zealand in summer before - would love to be able to visit and have a swim haha Thanks again - hope you have a great day ahead! Phoebe x
Thankyou Phoebe, this is fantastic.. I was going to avoid Auckland completely because it was just another big city. But those West Auckland beaches are so rustic. And then after a google search, it shows Auckland has over 80 beaches. As a beach/bush person, I'm in !
It's so good to hear other people find the haka emotional too - I really wasn't expecting to feel that way! It came out of nowhere - just such a powerful thing to experience and it really felt like we were seeing it in-person... electric! Thanks for watching - hope you had a great weekend. Phoebe x
New Zealand beautiful country and Auckland has changed a lot since I visited many years ago. for the better of course. as always great vlog well presented, thank you.
Can I just say I’ve been watching so many travel videos lately and I’ve only watched one video and started this one and I can already tell I’m already going to be using all your tips for my New Zealand trip in July, so thank you! not only are your videos captivating but they are so helpful and I already subscribed.
🥹 you’ve no idea how much it means to wake up in the morning and read a comment like this. It’s so inspiring and energising. Thank you for the positive vibes, kindness and support 🥰 Phoebe x
Great video I love it how you guys really explode the places and get out and about and make it really interesting. Not just a 5 minute Expedia video or some video where just music played the whole time. You guys make these places sound so amazing and make people want to go on holidays and explore these places ourselves.
You're such a good host and Matt has such good perspective, just an awesome couple! Loving the NZ series so far...hope to meet you guys someday! Cheers!
Brilliant again guys. I liked seeing the LOTR museum. My town is getting a Game Of Thrones museum in one of the studios it was filmed in. Hopefully it works out as well. That was some stunning scenery you showed us.
Oh WOW! I would LOVE to go to that - sounds amazing. I held off watching GOT for years and only just watched it last year - it was epic!! Thanks for watching, so happy you enjoyed this one so much. Phoebe xx
Hi Phoebe, the video is so good as it includes a couple of attractions in Auckland, very informative. I'm planning my trip to Auckland but as I don't drive, I don't know which nature attractions I could go to, apart from Mount Eden. 😊
Sounds like you may need to find an organised day trip out of the city if you want to see some of the coastline! I’d just Google and see what’s out there. No doubt there are some awesome ones!
You guys are the best!!!! I so want to love in Australia and when I am dipping into a low vibration (seem to be a lot these days) I bing watch you guys! Thanks for the smiles you out on my face!!
🥺🙏🏼 thank you so much for the amazing message, it means the world! I hear you - things just go up and down over and over lately. Some days things are okay then it all just gets too much ☺️ just know you’re not alone and we’re sending you lots of love and light. So glad our videos could be there to bring a smile to your day. You deserve it 😍♥️ Phoebe x
Thank you for sharing your stay in NZ as I was scouting for a good place to go that will convinced me to push through with my plan to go there too. You have a new subscriber here in LA USA. keep safe and God bless 🙏
NZ is spectacular! I think you’ll love it - it’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet 😍♥️ have an amazing time and thank you so much for watching! Phoebe xx
Traveling to Auckland in December. These are some excellent tips. My son will love the All Blacks Experience. Mount Eden and Karekare Falls are now on the itinerary too. Mahalo!
Thank you so much! I love hearing the places that get added to someone’s itinerary after watching. If you can, come back after you’ve been and let me know how you went 😊🙏🏼 would love to hear if they lived up to your expectations!! Have an amazing time ♥️♥️♥️ Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe Life happened and we didn't make it to the All Blacks Experience or Mount Eden, but Karekare Falls was epic. The road down was a bit sketchy, but the payoff was well worth it. We never would have found it without you, so big mahalo!
Hi. I'm a Japanese. This clip was awesome. Thanks for the tips. That're a bunch of travel video clips. I find myself enjoying this one the best of all, partly because you are so good at communicating. By the way, I watched TV about the Shark Bay in Australia recently, and I found it so magnificent and amazing. I hope you will visit the Shark Bay for a prize trip and create a clip.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment, so sweet of you :) Shark Bay sounds very interesting, I'm off to google it now! Thanks for the tip. Phoebe xx
Winter has been fairly mild this year. We are in Christchurch where the wind can be freezing, but has been fine. One of my friends played the character "gimli" in LOTR. He is 4ft 11. Did all 3 movies and alot of stunt work too. PJ gave him the axe as a gift.
@@travelforphoebe haha yeah, John rhys Davies is the face and voice of gimli. My mate Brett who is 4ft 11 wore his face and full costume etc. So when u watch the movie and see a close up of gimli, it's John and when u see gimli standing beside the cast it's Brett. John Rhys Davies is 6ft 2 so he is taller than the cast so you can't have a dwarf taller than the cast members lol. Brett was asked to receive the 9th tattoo which says "nine" in elvin script, to represent the 9 main cast members which he got done. He didn't receive any screen credit so no one knows about him unfortunately.
@@travelforphoebe actually I just googled Brett and a story has come up recently by the looks of everything I have just said. Google Lord of the rings "Brett Beattie". Then you'll understand what I'm on about. It's a pretty cool story! Cheers
We have been to Auckland a few times but only like stay overnight but never actually explore the city. We did went to the Lion rock beach before headed to Bay of Plenty. We got there super early so there's only us but that was back in 2014. I love your channel, new sub here ❤
Oh wow! We went to Bay of Plenty too (that episode will be up weekend after next) - LOVED IT! It was so beautiful there :) Thank you so much for subbing, we're both so thankful for the kindness and support. Phoebe xx
@@travelforphoebe Each time we went to North Island we always went to Bay of Plenty because we have accommodation there from Wyndham Destination and there's a chocolate factory that we do not wanna miss hahahaha. I love your channel, I have watched many of your episodes on TV screen. I need to go back and like it on my phone 😂
@@travelforphoebe hope I'm not too late but do check out Makana Confections, Boutique Chocolate factory in KeriKeri in Bay of Islands. This store is our favourite, never miss them once whenever we there. They also have organic market run every Saturday, opposite road to the shop.
Thank you so much by watching your video play is it so enjoy able from you in New All places are so good beautiful l prefer that you are walking more energy powerful walk to reach destination place to it incredible one thanks to its .
@@travelforphoebe no unfortunately not! I travelled to Australia before (Melbourne-Tasmania-Sydney-Gold Coast-Brisbane-Perth). And when they told me Tasmania is New Zealand in small I wanted to travel to NZ. But 6 weeks after my Australia trip, the world locked down due to COVID-19. So now I’m patiently waiting for the world to open up. My second Pfizer jab is scheduled for 9th of August, so from 24th of August and onwards I can travel to open countries
hey guys. came across your video for the first time today when i was searching for newzealand travel guide. your video editing skills are amazing and your videos because of that, obviously, are amazng too! just curious about, what camera gear do you use, especially for video.
Oh my god what an incredible travel guide to New Zealand. Starting memorable tour with Cultural Hub of NZ, Auckland City Centre was the perfect 💯💯💯👍👍👍 destination, then Mount Eden's spectacular view from the top was just incredible. Delicious food 😋😋 with ultra comfortable stay in Hotel, Emotional and Motivational, Traditional Haka War Dance was just mind blowing. The concept behind Hobbit House was really Inexpressible, Mesmerizing scenery, heart 💕 stealing adventurous nightlife, Mind refreshing tranquillity in open spaces in NZ,Warm Welcoming and Most Friendly people on 🌎 Earth. New Zealand 🇳🇿 is my ultimate dream destination in the world. I have watched most of the travel video of NZ till date, but i must admire that your video was just unbelievable & Incredible. No.1 Video for me 👌👌👌👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you so much for sharing such an amazing video, Loads of Love ❤ and Blessings 💐💐💐💐💐🤗🤗🤗🤗From 🇮🇳India🇮🇳
Wow! Wow! WOW! What an amazing comment - Thank you so much for watching this video and taking the time to share all your thoughts in this comment :) I hope you get to visit NZ very soon - it sounds like a trip there is going to make you very happy! It's such a beautiful country, I know you'll love every moment of being there. Have a great day and thank you for watching - Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe Oh My God, Thank you ❤ so much for your valuable feedback on my comment. I really felt so honoured that i can't express my level of happiness in words. This is my first🥇 international reply 😊😊🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐 Yes I hope that i will visit my dream destination one day 💞💞 for sure.

Nice video thanks and timely for our upcoming trip to NZ. A technical question if I may. When we travel overseas including NZ we rely on hotels, cafes and shopping centres for wifi. But in this COVID environment we need data in order to check in to places where wifi may not be available. How did you guys manage this? Did you buy a local SIM card?
Such a good question! We got local SIM cards for the first time. Ours were from SIMS Direct and we went with the unlimited, 30 day sims. They were awesome! You get them before you leave home so when we touched down we changed our sims on the plane and we were ready to go right away. Good coverage too, nice and fast ☺️ simsdirect.com.au/?ref=jbw4XoKUAvKCs
I like this video so much. If you don't mind, I would like to ask your permission to share this video to the other website in China for the embarrassing reason that RUclips is blocked from accessing in China. Of course, I will give sources of the original website. Thank you so much😍😍
I would like to come in Auckland next February '24 to visit the city and I was wondering if you would be so kind to join us as a group guide for helping us to find the best places 😊❤
Have 1 day planned in Auckland in March before setting off to road trip around the South Island this definitely gave me some ideas on what to do in Auckland. How much time does the All Black Experience & Weta take would you need all day or just a couple of hours
Definitely don’t need a whole day but it does take a little longer to get through Weta cos you’re with a group and it’s paced by the guide. Maybe 3 or 4 hours to do both!
You need more than a day. But the Auckland Musuem and adjoining planetarium is pretty cool with a great view of the harbour and Rangitoto. Then catch a bus downtown and catch a ferry to Rangitoto Island. For the price it’s probably the best value tourist experience in the city. A day on Waiheke is always good too, especially in summer. Piha is only 40 minutes from city and as special.
@@billymack333 yeah we definitely needed more than a day but we still managed to get a decent amount done I think we will make sure to add more days the next time we go back!
Hi , I want ask you about New Zealand what’s best city for live? Do you have any idea about English language institute? I will go to Auckland after 3 months
Ma'am I have a question for you so question is how many model verbs are there in English language because noone giving me accurate answer in fact Google so ma'am share me your point of view about it and don't mind ma'am about it because have asked a question that relate to study if you know so ma'am tell me because I'm really confused about it.
It's such a frustrating feeling - hard to keep hope at times! Having this trip to New Zealand meant so much to the both of us, it felt like the world was back to normal again for a few weeks. So grateful we got to go and experience it. Thanks for watching - Phoebe x
Oh wow!! That's a big change from Vietnam to New Zealand. It's such a beautiful place - not surprising you're living there :) Especially after all the hustle and bustle of Sydney!
Yes New Zealand is a beautiful country and kiwis are very friendly. I love New Zealand so much and feel proud of the country. I watched your videos about New Zealand, they are so beautiful! Thank you for making and sharing these videos
Hey Phoebe and Matt, this was awesome! It was great seeing different things to do in and around Auckland. From start to finish….this was so much fun to watch 🤗
Hope you both can visit NZ soon! Would love to see your videos :) Thanks for watching this one, hope you both have a wonderful week ahead. Phoebe xxx

And when they told me Tasmania is New Zealand in small I wanted to travel to NZ. But 6 weeks after my Australia trip, the world locked down due to COVID-19. So now I’m patiently waiting for the world to open up. My second Pfizer jab is scheduled for 9th of August, so from 24th of August and onwards I can travel to open countries
Rarotonga is open now,maybe a pure white beach with summer weather is next on the cards?. With fresh coconuts and seafood.
Oh gosh that does sound good!!
Must visit Hawkesbay, great wines :)
Yesss! We were in the region and stayed a night in Napier but sadly ran out of time to get to the wineries. Just a great excuse to go back :) Phoebe x

I would love to visit there one day
I hope you do! It’s so beautiful 😍

Starting memorable tour with Cultural Hub of NZ, Auckland City Centre was the perfect 💯💯💯👍👍👍 destination, then Mount Eden's spectacular view from the top was just incredible.

The concept behind Hobbit House was really Inexpressible, Mesmerizing scenery, heart 💕 stealing adventurous nightlife, Mind refreshing tranquillity in open spaces in NZ,Warm Welcoming and Most Friendly people on 🌎 Earth. New Zealand 🇳🇿 is my ultimate dream destination in the world. I have watched most of the travel video of NZ till date, but i must admire that your video was just unbelievable & Incredible.

I was an Extra on Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring I was in the NZ Army at the time in 99
Okay that’s amazing!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice video thanks and timely for our upcoming trip to NZ. A technical question if I may. When we travel overseas including NZ we rely on hotels, cafes and shopping centres for wifi. But in this COVID environment we need data in order to check in to places where wifi may not be available. How did you guys manage this? Did you buy a local SIM card?
Such a good question! We got local SIM cards for the first time. Ours were from SIMS Direct and we went with the unlimited, 30 day sims. They were awesome! You get them before you leave home so when we touched down we changed our sims on the plane and we were ready to go right away. Good coverage too, nice and fast ☺️ simsdirect.com.au/?ref=jbw4XoKUAvKCs
That's a great help - we'll do the same. Thanks very much!
I like this video so much. If you don't mind, I would like to ask your permission to share this video to the other website in China for the embarrassing reason that RUclips is blocked from accessing in China. Of course, I will give sources of the original website. Thank you so much😍😍
Hello! I’m so happy you love our video ☺️ unfortunately we can’t allow our video to be posted elsewhere but thanks for asking 🙌🏻
@@travelforphoebe Noted. Thanks!
Wow 👌👌
Thanks Amrik! Have a great week - Phoebe xx
Hey there! Would you recommend these same outdoor locations during March?
Hi! I’ve actually never been to NZ outside of winter but I imagine it’s beautiful
I com to Newzealand
You're back in Auckland or was this recorded pre pandemic?
We flew over on 15th June! Was great to take advantage of the travel bubble and be able to get back to NZ ☺️
@@travelforphoebe Wow! Lucky you guys! Hoping for things to go back to normal soon
All power ranger shooting locations

Thank you!!
Chur good show
Churrrrrrr 🤙🏻😄 thank youuuu!
I would like to come in Auckland next February '24 to visit the city and I was wondering if you would be so kind to join us as a group guide for helping us to find the best places 😊❤
Hope you have a wonderful time :) I'm not a tour guide, these videos are my way of helping you find the best places!
@@travelforphoebe thank you for you kind reply... 🤗
Have 1 day planned in Auckland in March before setting off to road trip around the South Island this definitely gave me some ideas on what to do in Auckland. How much time does the All Black Experience & Weta take would you need all day or just a couple of hours
Definitely don’t need a whole day but it does take a little longer to get through Weta cos you’re with a group and it’s paced by the guide. Maybe 3 or 4 hours to do both!
You need more than a day. But the Auckland Musuem and adjoining planetarium is pretty cool with a great view of the harbour and Rangitoto. Then catch a bus downtown and catch a ferry to Rangitoto Island. For the price it’s probably the best value tourist experience in the city. A day on Waiheke is always good too, especially in summer. Piha is only 40 minutes from city and as special.
@@billymack333 yeah we definitely needed more than a day but we still managed to get a decent amount done I think we will make sure to add more days the next time we go back!
I come soon new year
Have a great trip!
Amazing video & you are so beautiful Love from Bangladesh ❤
Thank you for watching! :)
nice
Thank you!
What camera and lens are you using?
Oh gosh this was a few cameras ago so it’s hard to recall but it would’ve been a Sony 6400 and 6500 probably just with the kit lenses they came with 🥰
Black Sand beaches down south that has gold flake in the sand
Stop it!! Where?!!!!
Hi , I want ask you about New Zealand what’s best city for live? Do you have any idea about English language institute? I will go to Auckland after 3 months
Hello! I'm not sure, sorry, I've never lived there :)
Ma'am I have a question for you so question is how many model verbs are there in English language because noone giving me accurate answer in fact Google so ma'am share me your point of view about it and don't mind ma'am about it because have asked a question that relate to study if you know so ma'am tell me because I'm really confused about it.
i'm from morocco and i have always wanted to travel around the world, if only there is a way ?
It's such a frustrating feeling - hard to keep hope at times! Having this trip to New Zealand meant so much to the both of us, it felt like the world was back to normal again for a few weeks. So grateful we got to go and experience it. Thanks for watching - Phoebe x
What’s the title of the song
Which one Justin?
Hello 👋 your videos are so beautiful. are you kiwi or Aussie?
So sweet of you! Thank you! We're both from Australia :) How about you? If I had to guess... I'd guess... Vietnam?
@@travelforphoebe Yes, I'm originally from Vietnam but I am a kiwi now, I had lived in Sydney for 8 years before I came to New Zealand.
Oh wow!! That's a big change from Vietnam to New Zealand. It's such a beautiful place - not surprising you're living there :) Especially after all the hustle and bustle of Sydney!
Yes New Zealand is a beautiful country and kiwis are very friendly. I love New Zealand so much and feel proud of the country. I watched your videos about New Zealand, they are so beautiful! Thank you for making and sharing these videos
Please invite me to visit and work in New Zealand...I'm willing to get a new amazing experience
You look beautiful:)
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thats two words i thought id never see in the same sentence Perfect and Auckland lol
😂😂😂
not sure whether it was legal to do all the filming eg at the lord of the rings experience? did you ask?
I always ask :) In fact, I contacted them ahead of time to flag it with the media team! They were stoked to have me film and share the experience.
