About this video:
Today we are continuing to explore the awesome Taranaki region of New Zealland, more specifically South Taranaki. This brings us first to the small town of Eltham which is said to be the cheese capital of New Zealand! Robin, the Frenchie, is pretty excited.
However, when we arrive in Eltham, Taranaki, we realise it’s a bit of a ghost town. Most of the shops are closed, windows boarded up, but it does have a fascinating history of cheesemaking which is told on the murals which are painted all over town.
One thing that is making is the famous Eltham Cheese Bar. We go in to have a look only to be... well, you can see in the video.
Now we hit the road to Hollard Gardens but on the way... BANG. Erm? Yep, check the video for the explosion too.
So after that we finally get to Hollard Gardens which are some free gardens in the South Taranaki region. It’s full of birds and flowers in bloom even in winter. They also have complimentary tea and coffee in the Hollard Gardens centre.
Our final destination today is the town of Opunake and we are staying on the beachfront in the Opunake Holiday Park.
So what do you think of Eltham and the Hollard Gardens in Taranaki? Would you add those to your New Zealand bucket list?

Cruise England's Royal River Aboard the 8 passenger Hotel Barge Magna Carta | European Waterways
Magna Carta is one of the finest, most luxurious vessels cruising the British Isles today. The ambience created by combining a traditional 1936-built barge hull with fine mahogany, teak and oak woods is outstanding.
Modern amenities include underfloor heating, spa pool and contemporary en suite facilities for the four spacious 200sq ft suites. The upper deck saloon and dining area feature picture windows and stylish furnishings.
Your Master Chef produces a range of mouth-watering dishes whilst you enjoy the riverside surroundings from your floating country hotel.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especiallly on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers. This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans.
The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands. The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.
