Travelogues Otago

Experience more – fear less ... that is the motto of the event organizers for the bungy jump at the bridge near Queenstown. While we also experience a lot, we usually do so...

The holiday apartment is truly impressive, featuring 4 bedrooms, a huge living area, and a 120m² terrace, making it a very comfortable stay. In the evenings, neighbors come by,...

Great second trip and great natural wonder this blowhole.

The next day was our tour via Milford Road to Milford Sound. The drive through the countryside was very beautiful. At 1:30 p.m. our boat set off through the fjord towards the...

Since we still haven't received a photo, we're now increasing the difficulty level for Ms. O. We spent the night before Queenstown in Oamaru. ;-) Please add accordingly! We have...

We absolutely love Wanaka - good finish to 2023

December 26th is Boxing Day. It has nothing to do with the sport but with the box. In the 19th century It was probably customary in the Commonwealth for domestic servants to...

Maybe the long bus ride that day shook the words out of my head. I am currently at a loss for them. Travel day with stops at the viewpoint for the Fox Glacier, the sea, a...

We set off for Dunedin early in the morning, enjoyed some good cappuccino, and searched for street art, which we found…! The Public Art Gallery had only a few interesting...

Today we are heading south on the island to Wanaka to a holiday apartment. After 60 km, we meet Ian, Duncan's brother, who kindly invited us on a tour with his jet boat. Unlike...

We arrive at our next stop while it is raining. Unfortunately we don't like the campsite that much at all, there is no nice lounge and the internet/reception is so bad that we...

After our 3-week road trip on the South Island, with lots of wonderful impressions, we wanted to earn some money again. The offer of winegrowing work in Cromwell came in very...

After there had been a lot of activity in the previous days, we allowed ourselves a quiet day on Saturday. In addition, the weather was relatively bad. We strolled around the...

Day 84 of 175: World cruise - Port Chalmers/New Zealand and still only sporadic mobile network, but with a magnificent view from the Scott Monument

After the farewell coffee, we continue our journey alone towards the West Coast. On the way, we had coffee, lollicake, and muesli in Ranfurly, where there is an Art Deco museum...

We are finally in Dunedin! We spent three nights there and around. We went surfing and visited Lucy, Duncan's neighbor. Surfing was so much fun as always and it keeps getting...

By the way, Dunedin is called Ōtepoti in Maori...sounds like Offenbach.

Across Mount Aspiring National Park and over the Crown Range Road Pass.

From Dunedin we continue to Portobello, on a peninsula with very beautiful but typical landscapes. Here we are planning an 11 kilometer hike with the highlight “Seals on the...

New Years Eve & New Years Day

#Thatwanakatree, lakefront, good food and coffee

On the cherry orchard we work as team leaders, meaning our job is to make sure the pickers pick the right cherries (size, color, quality), use their leaders correctly and don't...

Today is another rest day. We just want to go into town and have a look around. The first glimpses from yesterday promised a very beautiful Queenstown. Well-designed residential...

Protecting Dunedin's natural harbor, the Otago Peninsula is a true natural paradise on its doorstep.

Where are we? Kaka Point on the southern west coast of the South Island. There's nothing here, just the dog buried. But wonderful!

When we received the request a few months ago to work as a team leader/supervisor in New Zealand for the 23/24 cherry season, we thought it would all be pretty cool. After a few...

On Monday we continued to Dunedin, on the way we stopped at the Boulders, a spot by the sea known for its round stones. We then camped near a horse racing track in the...

When we arrive in Queenstown, at a beautifully situated campsite, we first have to jump into the lake to cool off. After the last few cold days we can hardly stand it here in...

Spend the night by the sea one last time

Off to the East Coast and Beach Time again
