FROM AUCKLAND TO KERIKERI - day 02 - North Island, New Zealand
My website :
My Instagram :
So for those who have seen my last video and are back, either it wasn’t that bad (I don’t believe that for a second) or you like to be tortured (naughty you). Well there could be a third option, that you’re interested in seeing how bad these videos can get (the option I would bet on). Nonetheless, welcome back to you and the newcomers!
Today we pickup our camper-van and make our way north to Kerikeri near the Bay Of Islands. I got up early to head down to Viaduct Basin near Downtown Pier 4 for some photos. It was an overcast morning with some breaks in the clouds on the horizon. I came away with two though. One of The Cloud convention centre and the other of the Sky Tower. Afterwards I went for a walk on Queen’s Wharf around The Cloud before heading back to the room. I was getting hungry and the others would be getting up soon.
Finding a place to eat at 7:30 in the morning on a Sunday was more difficult than we thought. Everything was either closed or opened around 8:30-9 o’clock. Except for The MLC Cafe & Bar, just down the road from us, who open there doors at 7 am. The coffee, food and service was great. I can highly recommend it.
After brekky it was time to pickup our camper-van. We thought it would take about a half hour to have keys in hand but it took a little longer… three hours! Yep, no joke. They apparently had a glitch with their system. We had planned to arrive in Kerikeri around 12:30-1 o’clock but we were just leaving Auckland. No matter, our trip around the North Island of New Zealand had begun. Destination Kerikeri, north of Auckland near the Bay of Islands, with a little stop-over in Kawakawa. A little town at the cross road where you can either head east to Paihia or north-west further up the island. I wanted to visit Kawakawa’s public toilets. Yes, you read me right. But not any toilets, the Hundertwasser public toilets. A beautiful work of art. I’m glad we stopped to check the toilets out because we would never seen the rest of the art works in this little town. Well worth a stop-over.
Moving onward, we’d planned to stop by a couple of wineries, a cheese factory, a chocolate factory and a honey boutique… but it was Sunday. Everything is closed on Sunday. So we kept going to our next stop, The Stone Store where we would also find the Honey House Cafe and the Pear Tree restaurant. All located along the Kerikeri River and all closed apart from the Pear Tree. But it didn’t matter because the area was just beautiful. We spent some time here exploring and taking photos.
It was nearing the end of the day and we wanted to visit the Rainbow Falls before sunset. And beautiful falls they are. I really like one that show the length of the falls. I took one photo from both lookouts and headed back to the camper-van. It was nearing dark and we hadn’t found a spot to stay the night yet. We’d decided to stay at a free campsite tonight and the closes one was in a town called Kaikohe. About a forty minutes drive west of Kerikeri. The campsite was just a parking area suited for long vehicles.
Well, that’s it for day two. Hope to see you for day three. Goodnight.

7 Best Places to Visit in New Zealand
7 Best Places to Visit in New Zealand
Comprised of two main islands, North Island and South Island, New Zealand is an incredible destination to discover. Packed with unforgettable landscapes, breathtaking scenery, and an unparalleled combination of lakes, mountains, and lush greenery, New Zealand has to be seen to be truly understood. While touring New Zealand, be sure to give equal time to its lively cities and its more stunning natural landmarks. This article can serve as your itinerary highlighting the best places to visit in New Zealand.
1. Fiordland
Established in 1952, Fiordland National Park is now over 1.2 million hectares in size, and encompasses mountain, lake, fiord and rainforest environments. The National Park is administered by the Department of Conservation.
The variety of habitats in Fiordland support a diverse range of flora and fauna, with many developing in relative isolation leading to a high rate of endemism, or plants and animals that have evolved to be completely unique to this area.
2. Tongariro National Park
Tongariro National Park – covering almost 80,000 hectares – was gifted to the nation by Maori chief Te Heuheu Tukino IV in 1887. Just over a hundred years later, the park was awarded dual World Heritage Site status.
Emerald lakes, alpine meadows and hot springs surround the largest volcanoes in the North Island, offering an environment of stunning diversity.
All three volcanoes are very much alive, with Mount Tongariro erupting as recently as August 2012. But this doesn’t deter people from skiing down the slopes and hiking to the craters – a monitoring system provides early warning of eruptions.
3. Paihia
Paihia – Bay of Islands offers the visitor so many things to do with lots of activities, short walks, tours and attractions to choose from.
Paihia is the main tourist town in the Bay of Islands making this an excellent base for exploring the Bay of Islands and Northland. It offers an extensive choice of accommodation with a good sized town centre of restaurants, bars, a wide range of shopping and some beautiful sandy beaches.
4. Napier
Napier is a New Zealand city with a seaport, located in Hawke Bay on the east coast of the North Island. Napier's population is about 58,600 people by 2010. About 18 km south of Napier is the deepest city in Hastings.
5 Glacier Country
In Glacier Country,the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers are among the most accessible glaciers in the world. Glacier Country offers a wealth of adventure activities.
Take a guided glacier hike, ride a quad bike, fly in a helicopter or sightseeing plane or even do a tandem sky dive. Wildlife attractions include the kiwi breeding programme in Franz Josef, the White Heron Sanctuary in Whataroa and kiwi in the wild at Okarito.
Glacier Country is Whataroa, Okarito, Lake Mapourika, Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier, Lake Matheson and Gillespies Beach.
6. Stewart Island
Stewart Island / Rakiura is New Zealand's third largest island. It is located offshore, about 30 km south of the South Island, separated by the Foveaux Strait. The permanent population of the island is 381 people, most of whom live in residential areas of Oban.
7 .Auckland
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and main transport hub. Make sure you stop and enjoy the shopping, dining and natural wonders Auckland has to offer.
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and main transport hub. The region is home to some 1.5 million people and is also the largest Polynesian city in the world. Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanting holiday islands.

Waitangi Treaty House - Waitangi (Paihia), New Zealand
The home of British official James Busby at Waitangi, near Paihia, New Zealand was the site of some key events in the history of New Zealand. In 1835, Maori chiefs signed the Declaration of Independence of New Zealand, which positioned themselves as representatives of a New Zealand state.
In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed here. It is regarded as the founding document of New Zealand, and defined a number of rights for the native Maori. However, Maori and British interpretations of the treaty differed on some key issues. The Maori believed they continued to have the authority to manage their affairs, but the British believed that the treaty gave them sovereignty over New Zealand.
The house was built in the 1830s, making it one of the oldest in New Zealand. Today it is a museum and the site of the annual Waitangi Day national holiday celebration.

New Zealand has a lot to offer even the most particular traveller. From the lively neighbourhoods of Wellington to the breathtaking Fiordland of the South Island, there's an adventure tucked away in every corner of this impressive country. Consider living out your own Lord of the Rings adventure in Hobbiton, or hike past Mt. Doom in Tongariro National Park. Not thrilling enough? Then skydive over Auckland, go white water rafting down Kaituna River or take a leap of faith and bungee jump in Queenstown! When you're in New Zealand, nearly ever adventure is only a stone's throw away.
Make the most out of your visit to this remote island nation by assembling your bucket list with our travel guide. Booking a tour will ensure your trip is fun, flawless and stress-free:
New Zealand boasts a temperate climate with plenty of sunshine and moderate rainfall. Because of the long coast line, you can expect mild temperatures for the most part. The average temperature decreases as you travel south; January and February are the warmest months with July being the coldest month of the year. Remember to pack your waterproof hiking boots, waterproof rain jacket, swimsuit, flip flops, thin gloves, hiking socks, sunglasses, and a camera with extra batteries.
New Zealand's currency is the New Zealand Dollar (NZ$). You should expect to be able to switch between cash and cards quite seamlessly, as all major credit cards can be used in New Zealand. Alcohol and restaurant meals can range from moderate to quite expensive so prepare yourself accordingly.
We'd like to thank New Zealand's incredible tourism board for allowing use of their travel footage:
---About New Zealand---
New Zealand, exists on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean and is home to over 4.6 million people, and nearly 30 million sheep.
The country is divided into two portions: the North and South Islands separated by the Cook Strait. The North Island is home to many hot springs and geysers while the South Island is mountainous, forested and covered in glaciers. Over 75% of New Zealanders call the North Island home, and more than 15% of New Zealand's energy comes from renewable resources.

Paihia - Healthy Returns - Exceptional Future ...
16 Williams Road, Paihia
Alan O'Brien
Situated within an easy two-minute walk of the busy main centre of Paihia, this multi-tenanted commercially zoned property, offers sound passive returns and excellent landbank potential. The flat, 1,733 square metre triangular site is bounded on two sides by road, with multiple access points. Two strong leases are in place and rental returns are healthy, but the future development potential is exceptional.
Paihia, a thriving waterfront town relying heavily on tourism, is the perfect setting for motel expansion and this 1970s-built example with Council approved plans for additional units, is an easy way to get a foothold in the market. The low building profile also lends itself to second story development. The bonus is an additional building, currently leased as a dentistry, with a view to long-term rental commitment.
An opportunity such as this doesn't come along often, and my vendors are committed to moving forward. ...

Milford Sound, New Zealand
Recorded January 19, 2007.
Milford Sound is a fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fjordland National Park and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey, and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. Milford Sound runs 15 kilometers inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 3,900 feet or more on either side. Lush rain forests cling precariously to these cliffs, while seals, penguins, and dolphins frequent the waters. Milford Sound is known as the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand and one of the wettest in the world. Rainfall can reach 250 mm during a span of 24 hours. The rainfall creates dozens of temporary waterfalls (as well as a number of major, more permanent ones) cascading down the cliff faces, some reaching a thousand metres in length.
This video covers my visit to the area on a wet and foggy day. The video begins along Lake Te Anu and then continues at Homer Tunnel. After a brief stop at the Chasm we arrived at Milford Sound. Unfortunately we did not get to see any of the beautiful mountains surrounding the fjord due to the weather. What we did get to see were Bowen and Stirling Falls and several bottlenosed dolphins.
