We had arrived on a Saturday late afternoon, both tired from the days drive; we settled into our beach view room with ease and started to mingle with our new neighbours. Mingling with a small group of Germans who all work together at the local Kiwi ... Read more >

This was a much further drive than we had thought, the drive North was fine; but heading along the Northern facing coastline was really hard full of twist and turns. Saying that it was a hard drive does take into account that we were stopping off ... Read more >

We went to Nelson, and we left Nelson; not a lot to say really. Nice little Hostel, but we wanted to head out sooner rather than later; was useful though as we found the garages for the W.O.F (MOT in UK) for The Bug. We headed out on our way to ... Read more >

Em and I had been in The Hopewell Lodge for about an hour, this was enough time to decide that we wanted to extend the stay to 3 nights. It was so peaceful here, partly due to its remote location we suspect; but there were none of the usual ‘backpacker’ ... Read more >

We’ve booked 2 nights in a hostel in Kaikoura, but are prepared to stay for 4 – 5 if the surf is right. We’ve not seen anything that even looks like a wave let alone surf on our trip yet, so our hopes are high. To increase our chances of surf ... Read more >
