      Anyone who takes issue with another expressing their honest thoughts, opinions, feelings owns that problem ….in MY opinion 🤣. We had relatives living in Wanaka who loved living there for all the reasons you said so it’s a fair representation.👍

    Okay, so one of the reasons I love you guys is summer up in your statement "we're only semi-active". So many blogs/vlogs for travel are either 1. All sitting on a beach or checking out museums or 2. Multi-day hikes. My husband and I are active, but we are more your style, a reasonably short hike or paddle boarding/kayaking, etc. You guys always seem to have a nice balance of relaxing with food and being active (also with food. Another plus)

    • @DanegerAndStacey
      @DanegerAndStacey  Год назад +5

      That's awesome to hear! As you would know we do tackle the odd big hike (just did a crazy one in Tasmania!) but for the most part we're all about that chill balance and finding those good meals too.

    Queenstown local here 😇 I‘d highly recommend Skippers Canyon and Macetown. Two former gold mining settlements surrounded by stunning landscapes. You can’t drive there on your own with a rental but Nomad Safaris offers 4x4 tours to get you there and show you how to find gold on the way.

    ❤Queenstown ! The luge is brilliant , the view is spectacular from up there ! I adore Arrowtown , and Glenorchy and along the road to Paradise, til you eventually come to the end of the road is an amazing drive in both directions . The Shotover Jet we couldn't do on the river because of ice , but did it on the Lake instead - definitely take a sea sick tablet !😂 Milford Sound is incredible, stays with you forever- we went 20 years ago , still fantastic memories . The hot tub is fun , we did it at night to look at the stars in winter ❤ The whole area is such a special place ....hope I get back , even just once more ( I'm in Scorland)

      ​@@DanegerAndStacey the thing about Wanaka is that it isn't Queenstown and isn't trying to be. It's more laid back, and it's aiming at people who just want to have a chill holiday. We used to spend holidays there or in the nearby mountain valleys, because it wasn't as busy or expensive as Queenstown

      The day trip is looooong but totally worth it. If you can find a tour that has a one night stay over that might be a nice way to slow it down a bit and maximise time. Though our day trip got back in the dark so that we could have as much time on the boat/kayaking
