Stunning Queenstown to Glenorchy, New Zealand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Glenorchy is only about 45 minutes from Queenstown and both of these places in the South Island of New Zealand are absolutely stunning. This is vlog 1 of our latest 7 part South Island, NZ road trip series.
The first scenic stop was Bennetts Bluff Lookout which is along the drive between Queenstown to Glenorchy.
The Glenorchy Scenic Lagoon walkway is best done on a sunny day. We took the southern circuit loop. You'll find the start of the walk towards the right hand end when facing the Glenorchy red boat shed.
Glenorchy Lagoon Walkway
Address: 160 Glenorchy-Paradise Road, Glenorchy 9372
Our Airbnb accommodation in Queenstown was located about halfway between Frankton and Queenstown City Centre. A clean, comfy, private stay for the two of us right opposite Lake Wakatipu with beautiful mountain views.

For dinner we ate at a Korean restaurant in Queenstown called I Love Kimchi. A nice cosy setting. We really enjoyed their hot stone bowl beef bibimbap.
I love Kimchi Korean Restaurant
Address: 54 Shotover Street, Queenstown 9300
Hours: Mon-Sun 5-9:30pm

Looking forward to your South Island series, the scenery is just so stunning. It is definitely on my bucket list.
Thanks Kelvin just finished the raw edits of the videos, think you'll enjoy the upcoming vlogs too 😄 🤙
Great song for the sunset and night time transition
Cheers mate 👍
Love your style of vlogs. As a New Zealander it's also nice to see some new spots for me to explore in the future as well!
Thanks Oliver glad you're enjoying the videos. We're always on the look out for new and unique places to visit those are the best 👌
Queenstown is always magical. Excellent video to start off your series. It makes me want to visit Queenstown again, even though I was just there around 3 months ago.
😁 can never get enough of queenstown
can't wait for the whole series of south Island. lovely you guys.
Cheers mate hope you enjoy it, yen n I had a blast 👍
the whole breathing deeply when you arrive I remember vividly. lol and yes I have a photo of the red shed, but looking over the lake with the mountains in the backgorund
Omg I miss this so much 😭😭😭 I really can’t wait to go back to New Zealand! The moment border opens up again I’m definitely going to the South Island once more! Also, great Vid! Hope you’re planning on hitting Te Anau next! 🤣
Hey mate do hope the borders are open sometime soon in the meantime here's our Te Anau video we went there a couple of months ago, ruclips.net/video/hapPS-GAZ9k/видео.html
The waterfront is so beautiful especially at sunset! I love how the setting sun makes the water all purply 💜
One of our favorite sunsets is from Queenstown city centre, such an awesome vibe ✨
That lake looks huge! I love the snow-topped mountain around it. They make such a stunning landscape 😍😍
😁 beautiful spot right ✅ 👌
I made sure and ate first before watching your video, and still ended up feeling hungry! Queenstown looks magical though!
😁 thinking about that bibimbap made me hungry too and just had a massive feed for dinner 😂 gonna break open some cheese 🧀 after this reply.
Queenstown is a must if you're visiting NZ, brilliant spot 👌
@@PeterandYen Lol I can only imagine, and yeah I plan on visiting but I think I will go during the summer time lol.
Only thing about summer is the snowy peaks won't be snowy but at the same time you'll get to swim in the lakes and it'll be nice and warm hahaha tough choices
@@PeterandYen Lol yup it's swim in lakes over snowy peaks for me!
Visited South Island back in 2015, the best trip I've ever had.
We just had one week trip in Queenstown and one week trip in Wanaka. Near Glenorchy, paradise road and kinloch are also worthy visiting.
Nice thanks for the recommendations Hannah 😁👍
This is closest thing of being there, esp @ 2.38, that sums up the feeling. Thanks again for your vlogs and saving up to travel, when the borders open up
All the best with the savings hope you get a chance to visit New Zealand when the borders are open 🤙
BEAUTIFUL !
💯🤙🇳🇿
Looking forward to visit South Island again, for the 5th time :) . Thanks for sharing this awesome video.
No worries hope you get to go again soon. Thank you for watching 😁
Awesome guys. Was waiting for this
😁 enjoy the series mate have a great week ahead
@@PeterandYen Will do. You guys stay safe. :)
the sunset on the port looks stunning. lovely vibes indeed!!
One of my favorite sunsets are from the town it's such a wonderful atmosphere there
Those snow-capped mountain views are stunning!
Nice enough to immediately forget about the rentals hahaha
I think I dropped my jaws a number of times while watching the video. Absolutely stunning in almost every corner! Would definitely love to drive around South Island too someday 👍👍👍
South island has some epic scenery 👌 the drives around the southern alps are especially beautiful
That bench overlooking the mountain and lake was so Instagrammable. So was the Glenorchy shed.
😁 💯 beautiful locations throughout that whole area 🇳🇿🏆
I live the for two years it was my best time of my life ! Absolutely amazing beautiful place? Actually remind me Norway!
💯 queenstown is a stunner 🤙
Hi Peter, Hi Yen , I see why you keep going back , Queenstown is Beautiful. It's good to see you both are ok , Love your vlog , You two be safe , Thanks.....🙏🙏
😁 thank you for the compliments! Queenstown has it all! and the waterfront area is one of our favorite places to catch a sunset 🌇 hope you're well and taking care too ✌
Every vlog we look forward to Yen airbnb tour - 🤓 - always showcasing simple yet beautiful airbnb placee
Hahaha thanks guys it's all kudos to Peter and his good Airbnb finds though! 🙂 I like it more when he does the tours 😆

Thank you for watching 🤙
Been to glenorchy. Its beautiful 👍👍👍
Too true Glenorchy is such a nice spot 👌
Vlog 1 of 7 finally out!yay,can't wait for the other series. 😍😍😍
Cheers mate 👍 just finished the raw cuts pretty chuffed with how they've come out
Yo Peter and Yen! Can’t wait for the South Island vlogs💓
Hey bro 😁👋 awesome enjoy the upcoming videos
The drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy is one of the best :)
💯 think it's one of my faves too 🤔
Omg stunning 😍
😁❤
Every time I see the Remarkables, I have to boggle that they are real and not CGI
😂 yeah... totally understand that the first time we saw it we were shocked too
@@PeterandYen they truly are "Remarkable" XD
😂😂😂👍
This vlog brings us memories of our first trip to South Island 🥰
The scenery is just breathtaking! The best road trip ever for us. Jealous for you guys doing this trip 😍
That Glenorchy red shed is so popular, glad you guys finally ticked this off your bucket list ✅ Too bad that we skipped last time this due to not having enough time and bad weather condition😞
The bibimbap you guys had looks delish 😍 nice meal to have a after a long day 👍🏻
😁 hey guys yes! Really enjoyed flowing along on your trip here too. New Zealand weather is such a temperamental thing though so it's quite hard to plan anything 😂
If you're blessed with the sunny day just gotta go for it 😁
Glenorchy is such a scenic place. We really enjoyed our day trip there and the drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy. Look forward to your South Island vlogs, especially Dunedin. Hope you go Tunnel Beach, Allans Beach, and Baldwin Street....
Hi Mandy hope you're doing well ✌😊 we do hit a couple of really interesting places in dunedin. Tunnel Beach was on our list too but unfortunately got bad weather 😅
I love it 😍 I hope all can travel.
Thanks elma 😁🤙
Oh you’re back to Queenstown! We have to go back too! Was a good trip for you guys, you obviously had fun! Marissa ☺️
We had an awesome trip thanks Marissa 😊 glad we managed to go before the lockdown 😅
wow, the view of the snowy peaks and the blue lake is amazing! 😍
finally! t-shirt and shorts weather! (kinda!)
😅 once we're back in Auckland it's all t shirt n shorts just not down south...
You guys are awesome , you guys have a great personality , I pray you guys keep growing . You are as good as any of the top youtubers - awesome camera work and editing is top notch. I hope ppl find you.
Thanks for the lovely comment Dave appreciate it 😁✌ we're very happy with the community we have already anything else is a blessing 🙌
Miss your video guys.
Love Queenstown.
Its even lovelier at night 😍🌃✨
Looking forward to your South Island series 🎉😎
Much peace & love 💖
Thanks Peter & Yen ✌️😎🇳🇿
Yo Nikki 😁🤙 queenstown is amazing during sun set and night. That's the magic hours for sure! Keeps us coming back 😁 ❤
Another Amazing Video guys
Thanks Taylor glad you enjoyed it ✌
Great video & really enjoy your vlog. Been to Queenstown & would love to go back once the pandemic is over.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get a chance to come back once things settle down ✌
I am a sailor and I have been to Gisborne and Tauranga. New Zealand is really Heaven on earth.
I really enjoy your travel vlogs. I wish to visit New Zealand with my soulmate one day.
Thanks Steven glad you are enjoying the vlogs. All the best finding your soulmate 👍🤞
Yes
😁 yeah!
Watching from Canada to know what to do whenever my wife and I come to NZ to visit. Awesome work Peter and Yen! Stay safe.
Thanks for watching our videos and dropping us a comment 😁👍 Canada 🇨🇦 cool we would like to visit one day too the Rockies look awesome
@@PeterandYen definitely do make a trip out here. The nature and the Rockies are just majestic. I live only an hour drive away and the mountains are unreal to look at everyday from my home. Do come in July/August to really get the best views out here.
😯💯 you totally sold it 👍
you captured it really well :)
😁👍 thanks Tom ✌ hope you have a great week ahead
The air definitely looks so crisp & clean down there. I really like the lighting in the evening it’s so pretty. I love a good bibimbap too. Korean food is so yummy I like how they always give little side dishes with their meals 👌🏽
Yes! Love a good bibimbap and theirs was delicious. Always appreciate the sides that come with Korean dishes 👍🙂 Queenstown is so pretty ay.. we love it there too 🥰
Amazing Amazing
Thanks for watching Missy 👍
Hope you guys got home safe and sound.
Hi Adam thanks for your concern, this was shot a couple of weeks ago we're doing well in Auckland now. Stay safe 🙏
Niceee, so looking forward to these on Sundays ! Here's hoping Catlins are on the plans :)
😁 Peter here, lil spoiler one of my favorite vlogs in the series is from the Catlins 👍
Seeing the intro.. 1of 7 got me really excited! I love south island i wish i can ditch the north island and live there instead😁
😂 Ayeee North island rules though 😁 but yeah south island is pretty awesome too... 🤔🤔😅
You two are lovely!! Dreaming of New Zealand. Hoping to do the Working Holiday Visa once borders are open. 💖
Thank you 😊✌ all the best with your plans to visit New Zealand. Hope those borders can open soon 🙏
Korean food on a cold night is always a good move! 👍
Super comforting hit the spot for sure
Looks like you'd a lovely, relaxed start to your South Island tour guys.
What a find with the accommodation too!
I usually have trouble finding somewhere decent at a reasonable price, but that's partially my own fault as I book very little in advance when I'm touring so I've got more flexibility.
🤔 usually I like to book months ahead and often find real steals that way. But these days I only book a week or so in advance in case of lockdowns 😅
It's been much easier finding availabilities too cause there are much fewer tourists.
End of july and its warm 😵💫, you even wore your jandals peter lol - gee and usually nz is way colder than sydney - but yes even here in sydney its actually warm
Nah he didn't wear jandals in the South Island lol.. he could have that day though! So warm and nice ☺️
Haha was not expecting to see bibimbap at the end😋😋😋. Glad you guys were able to visit a place on your bucket list and see 360 degrees of awesome 🏔 😊. Not gunna lie.. I did get a little nervous when Yen said you guys reached one of those points where you don’t know which way to go… all I could think of is Yen’s snowboard turns 😳. Glad you guys found it easily! Good job Yen😁👍. Thanks for an awesome tour and safe travels!
😂 yen's snowboard 🏂 turns will haunt her for ever now. Every time we get lost you know what I'm gonna say... "it was yen" 😂😂
@@PeterandYen damn NZ doesn’t mess around. Lockdown again? Yikes. Stay safe guys!
Thanks 👍👍 yea we go hard and act fast to stop the spread as much as possible especially when our vaccinated population is still so low. 1 case after months of zero community cases initiated the immediate lockdown
It looks like NZ is a microcosm of the world's natural wonders. Hope to have the chance to visit one day.
That's an awesome way to describe it! Microcosm of natural wonders niceee might say that in a vlog one day if I can remember 😂
I wish we can be there with you guys 🥺, omg so many people enjoying life haha 😂 - i love kimchi thats a good korean restaurant name
Now we're all in lockdown together hahaha
Nice vídeo
Thanks mate 👍
Wow, crazy how car rentals vary prices like that. We thought we were going crazy, but we just experience the same here in Romania.
You guys are from a wonderful, beautiful country, it is hard to think about cleaner air than there indeed.
Guys, what a beautiful place, it reminds us a lot about Alaska, the nature is unbeatable in New Zealand
Beautiful Airbnb as always you guys are always picking awesome and dreamy, one-of-a-kind places.
Truly beautiful, you do have to stop in those places no doubt, regardless of the coldness. And now awesome food to warm you up.
I know right! Won't be making that mistake again with the rentals. Might as well go to Christchurch first next time $500 is a massive difference....
Queenstown is such a beautiful place... wouldn't mind living there permanently if it wasn't so cold hahaha
The first time we went to Glenorchy we got lost and ended in Paradise. Went back there again in 2017, we found it and took pic in front of the red shed too. Third time we ended up in Paradise again 🤣. I wanna go back there in autumn, it will be picturesque. Great ep guys 🙌
😂😂 thank you for sharing that with us. Good to know we're not the only ones that get majorly lost on our travels.
How was paradise? Might pay a visit there next time you guys are experts in that area now 😂😂
@@PeterandYen we sure are 😅. I think instead of turning left to Glenorchy pier we turned right which lead us to the road and keep going to Paradise. It was a long drive and very little town, it has the sign Paradise too but you don't stop there yoy just keep driving and driving until the end of the road. Nothing there really except beautiful scenic drives but it's for people who want to do days of hiking. You need to 4wheel drives, you can do with a sedan too but might be risky because you have to cross an overflow creek, if it raining alot couple days before then you won't able to cross the creek with sedan but on a dried day u can.
Lol you have to go through Glenorchy to get to Paradise. Perhaps you blinked at the wrong moment 🤣
@@ellykara1 there's intersection you need to turn to get to the pier that's where we got confused and ended up in Paradise. I thought Glenorchy pier is at the end of Paradise 🤣
Queenstown can be more pricey ay! Thanks for the good tip! Stunning views 😍 I want to go to Queenstown now. The weather looks super clear wow for July that’s awesome! Yes I always see those photos on Instagram. So cool how a storage shed become so popular 😆 Oh what a bargain of an Airbnb for Queenstown. Love your beanie 🤩 Korean food!! Ohhh so good!!!
Thanks Lana! We love Queenstown 🥰 It's just such a magical place! Really enjoyed Glenorchy too.. absolutely stunning 🤩 Hope we drop down a level soon 🤞🤞🙂 Beanie was the one I picked up from Forever New at Westfield 277 after our meet to that day! 😁💕🙌
@@PeterandYen I hope so too!! Aww nice, such a cute beanie and that mall is awesome, can’t wait to go there again 🥰☺️
That view from the Air BnB window!
👌
Bimbimbap is my Korean comfort food
Totally! It's one of our favorite Korean dishes too
Another fabulous vlog guys! I must get to Queenstown some day. You are costing me heaps in future travel as it makes me want to go to places you've been. Yummy dol sot bibimbap 😋.
😂 bibimbap such a classic makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Think queenstown is such a special destination. It's been the cheapest we've ever seen visiting this last year n a half so thought we'd make the most of it.
@@PeterandYen I could eat dolsot bibimbap every day 😋
🤔 I think of all the dishes bibimbap is the best everyday dish healthy, light and delicious ticks all the boxes
@@PeterandYen absolutely! Healthy and delicious 😋.
makes me want to go home
beautiful landscape... hopefully border open soon
Really is an amazing spot 😍
Just letting ph....play on. Journey on with rest of new Zealand 🇳🇿 with you both
It's September ...viewing
Thanks Missy glad you enjoyed our south island series ✌
Love watching you guys.. planning on going back to New Zealand in a few years time.. Best country we’ve ever been too.. love it and love watching all the places you go to.. wish we were there now 😫 take care both John & Tracey from Brighton, UK
P.S would be great if you could also add prices in British pounds please xx
Thanks John and Tracey glad you're enjoying the vlogs 😁👍 we've been thinking about adding pounds and euros will need to see if we can work em into the next batch of videos 🤔
@@PeterandYen aww that will be great thank you.. looking forward to the next video.. Take care both of you xx
good video
Cheers Joseph ✌
So looking forward to this series,and it's coming hot on the heels of my other fave Kiwi travel vloggers Daneger and Stacy with their Sth Island travel series finishing several weeks back. I totally expect this series to be every bit as good,if not better (if you find some great Donut shops,haha). A quick suggestion,not sure if you've been to Motueka on this journey,but The Smoking Barrel there is highly recommended for their donuts. Anyhoo,my daughter just had to quickly watch this,as she just recently went down to Queenstown,but I warned her not to watch you guys eating,as it'll make her hungry.
😂 thanks for sharing the video with your fams Rob!
We do manage to find one good donut shop. We made a video from Motueka a couple of weeks ago but didn't visit the smoking barrel, went to the toad hall instead. We will be back one day though so we'll have to visit the smoking barrel then 😁🤙
@@PeterandYen cool stuff,yep,been to Toad Hall as well,but The Smoking Barrel really is a must,there really is a decent donut selection there,and one real surprise - the Cheeseburger donut !In the Sth.Island,it really is pretty hard to find bad food.When we went down to work in Nelson last year,apart from work,sightseeing and drinking (hahaha,they sold Waikato Draught down there,so I was in heaven),eating was a major past-time. Really looking forward to the next upload.
Mmmmmmmm cheese burger donut 🍩 that sounds yumm
3:21 that view is epic
😁👌🇳🇿
🤤🤤🤤🤤 the views was stunning.. i might not born in NZ, i hope oneday i can live and grow old there. 😊
Hope you do get the chance to come New Zealand one day too 😁🤞
@@PeterandYen i went to north island with friends for roadtrip on campervan in 2019. We all leave wives and children in SG, haha. South island scenery is on another level, so beautiful and peaceful. After that trip, we actually planned for South island trip in 2021 but covid happened haha.. I fell in love to NZ since the trip.
@@PeterandYen i followed a youtuber, who is kiwi that worked in SG. but he went back to NZ for good, he said, air ticket is super expensive now, one way ticket for more than $2k.
😅 yeah tickets can be really expensive right now. One of our friends paid $5000 for tickets from India to New Zealand.
Hahaha all boys trip sounds like fun 🤣👍
Having driven through Glenorchy (many time's) on the way to Queenstown coming from Invercargill, the one thing that stood out in my mind of Glenorchy was their library - a building which was not that much bigger than an outhouse....keeping in mind that was a long long time ago. - obviously that library will be long gone now, but do they have anything in remembrance of that memory i had of the Glen. Thank's for the nostalgic moment guy's.
Thanks for sharing your memory of the old library tooks 😁 I always love sharing those stories of kiwi land back in the day too most of ours are from Auckland though.
South def has better views than north island i can say. But nz is just beautiful jn general 😍
Hahahaha true South island is amazing. But as a North islander I dunno if it's better than north island. Would say uniquely different 🤔 😂👍
@@PeterandYen just the views, would still rather stay in north 😂
Peter and yen, nice video. 👍What about a visit to Arrowtown?
We really wanted to go arrowtown this trip but ended up in the remarkables instead. Don't worry we'll be back will def visit arrowtown next trip.
Hi, Peter and Yen
Loved your south Island series👍.
Which month do you think is best to travel south Island autumn or winters, and is it very rainy in may?
It's nice every season but it depends what you like. Ski/ snow board for winter. Summer for lake activities and the shoulder seasons are great for hiking. It can rain NZ in any season but summer is usually the dryest month.
Love love love your videos. I am from the Caribbean. I am hoping you can show a map and indicate where you are from time to time. Thanks in advance!
Hello 👋 nice to see you in the comments section. Thanks for your suggestion will keep that in mind 👍
Yes i remember queenstown was expensive and i believe there is no uber either? To protect the taxi industry? We arrived late at night and was hard to find a taxi into queenstown city haha
There's Uber in Queenstown 🙂 used it a few times before! Maybe you guys just got unlucky that night unfortunately 😅
You should definitely try to visit Glenorchy on NY's Day, when the horse races take place. They are just so quintessentially Kiwi!
And the views in Glenorchy! Boggles the mind, doesn't it? We went jet boating up the river Dart when we were there 11 years ago and loved it!
Looking forward to Dunedin. It's one of the places on my short list (together with anything from Wanaka to Queenstown, Nelson and Taranaki) for the day I finally manage to convince my husband about moving to NZ ;)
😅 might have to head over to horse races one day. Yen and I are yet to still ever attend one. Just watched the Melbourne cup a few times on telle while doing company sweepstakes is as far as we've come.
Maybe we might needa do this NY trip. We do also really wanna see the lupins in summer 🤔 had a blast in dunedin but quite a few vlogs to go before we get there.
Take care n have a great weekend ✌
@@PeterandYen yeah, well, the Glenorchy races are nothing like ordinary horse races. Most of the racers seem to forget it's a competition. It's about silly costumes, generally faffing about and having family fun.
Thanks guys, you too!
😂 that sounds awesome will look into it! Btw on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being very likely where are you on convincing the hubby? 🤔😁
@@PeterandYen hard to tell. 3/10, maybe? He's very reluctant.
When the borders open, I'm dragging him to NZ. I've been building a social network in NZ over the internet and lots of those people already know about my situation and want to try and talk him into moving when we visit. A cunning plan, right? ;)
Hahahaha excellent plan hopefully the group effort will be able to at least drag it to a 7/10 😂
I live in Glenorchy
Love your guys travel vlogs! I’m a new sub, have you guys been to shanty town in greymouth? It’s pretty cool!
😁👋 thanks for joining the channel 👍 we just visited Greymouth a lil while ago but didn't know about Shanty town will need to Google that, thanks for the recommendation ✌
Yum those beef bibimbaps look delicious 😋
🤤🤤🤤👌
I missed South Island really nice place to stay
💯 such a beautiful part of New Zealand 🇳🇿
@@PeterandYen I love South Island I was there for 16 months
Wow 16 months that's a long time! Did you manage to see a lot of the island?
@@PeterandYen nope just few places I have been n don't have much time hanging around too, because I was working at Otago n Blenheim
Nice all good areas 👌
You just made me hungry. Korean is my personal favourite cuisine. 🤤
You should go to Bannsang at High Street in Auckland. I love their Korean food. You will have to look carefully for it though because it is tucked away at the end of a hallway
😂 we used to live at metropolis and bannsang was our regular takeaway spot. Lots of bibimbaps were had from there 😁👌
@@PeterandYen my fav is octopus bulgogi. Will have to eat some other things from the menu
Mmmmm that's a fine choice 👌 if only they gave a lot more octopus 🐙
@@PeterandYen Mmm my mouth is watering 🤤

Hi Peter and Yen. Love all your videos. Come and enjoy with me at the new Water World attraction at Ocean Park HK due to open on Sep 21. You won’t be disappointed. It’s gonna be fun ! Yeah !
Especially for you, Peter ! There would be plenty of delicious Shanghai food available at the new food shops over there as well for you to taste ! This park defines my childhood ! Yeah ! How long have you last visited this place in HK ???
😁🤔 wow probably haven't been to Ocean park in HK for 20 years. Last time I went to HK was 9 years ago right after we got married. Sounds awesome! yen hasn't been yet so one day when the borders open for sure we will be visiting.
Hi, if we are visiting around 7oct to 21oct can we still get to see the snow at the mountain?
Nice vid guys !, totally hear ya re rental car prices. They should be half what they are charging especially with the trans Tasman bubble popped 🙄. Relocation is the way to go…scored a three day Queenstown to Christchurch 6 berth campervan relocation deal a few weeks ago…$15 plus gas (check out Transfercars website). Yen looks super cute with beanie ! . Enjoy your trip 😜😎😀🥶
Ooo sweet thank you for the link gonna check that out. Yeah... at first I was like, sweet score cheap queenstown tickets, then when I looked at prices for rentals I was like nooooo 😂 ahhh well live and learn eh.
Try Sixt next time for rental car.. their cars are really god and cheap for long period rental
Ooo thank you so much for the recommendation. Will def check them out next time. Only reason we went with snap is cause we had some credit with them.
Did notice the price difference between Chch and Qtown with Snap . Looks like it's cheaper to rent in Chch , drive to Qtown and pay the one way fee . Our airfare credits expire in May next year (no refund with Virgin.) Hoping (and praying) to fly Darwin to Chch , then drive to Aoraki/Mt Cook , Wanaka , Te Anau , Milford and back to Queenstown for a good look around the district . 10 days all up ( Arthurs Pass may have to wait .)
Sounds like you have a great trip lined up 🤞 that you get to go on it.
We will definitely go Christchurch first next time the price difference is quite big. Won't make that mistake again 😅
Just revisiting your video again after travelling to Queenstown and Glenorchy last November. You are right about the air being so fresh and clean . My wife Flora struggles a bit in the tropics and found her breathing so much better there . Love it
O good! Glad you both noticed it too. The air is extra crisp down there 😊
Hi Peter and Yen, NZ is in lockdown from today. Are you still in South Island? Hope you are all well.
We got back last week, thank you for your concern 🙂❤️ Busy editing all our vlogs now 👍
The South Island is another world compared to the North Island. I have to go every winter
The south island is pretty spectacular 👌 but north island is also pretty awesome 🤔😁
Wow a lot pricier for the rental in Queenstown!
😥 yeah.....
I was in Glenorchy 45 years ago. I still remember when my local friend got petro at the “honesty garage”. Bought gas, & left the cash on the counter. Not a soul around.
Wow! It must've looked like a totally different place 😯 Still see a few honesty boxes here and there but definitely no honesty garages these days 😆
@@PeterandYen I wish I had taken a picture of it.. I believe there was a note on the counter about leaving the cash. My friend had actually lived there as a child in the 50/60’s before the road was built and wasn’t impressed by it, but it obviously stuck with me. I traveled a lot over the years, was a long way from home at the time (Canada) & have never seen another honesty garage. There is a lot I don’t remember but that was one experience I do!
Haha it's a pretty kiwi thing and more common in the smaller towns for sure. Such a wholesome memory! 🥰❤️
We are waiting for the borders to lift so we can fly over to CHC and spend 2 weeks in South Island.
Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy your trip soon 🤞🍀 The South Island is such a beautiful place! Which cities/towns are you planning to visit? 🙂
@@PeterandYen we have both been there before and are looking at March 2022 if we can get in from Queensland!
Hi,
Thanks for another nice video.
Could you recommend me car rental company that you think it is good and reasonable price for queenstown trip?
I could pay rent online from its website @ Auckland, right?
Thanks
Hello I would still say snap rental is one of the cheaper options in queenstown. But if I could do it again if going on a long trip I'd land in Christchurch and drive down.
Yup you can book from their website.
@@PeterandYen Thanks a lot Peter and Yen
The only thing I dont like are mice , there is an infestation mice on the Kepler walk ...noooooooo..I can't
😯 really? New Zealand is usually so good with pest control though
@@PeterandYen I think its the season , especially when there are lots of seeds available . You guys are doing an incredible job - love the vlogs.
Thank you Dave! Appreciate it 🙂👍
