"Uretiti beach. My go-to for a long walk....always take a sulu though."
I love a nice long stroll on the beach. The sound of the waves, the smell of the sea and the sand in between my....

"Feeling inspired by the new tourism ad. Looking for ideas - places to go, things to do.
Give it to me
Take a drive along the Forgotten Highway, well worth it."
I'd never even heard of it (not being a native) I have just googled it. Thanks for the tip  |

The clue is in the title, that's why you haven't heard of it.
Do you think its something you could well enjoy  |

I’m biased but it’s my favourite place in the world.
Amazing walking trails in the west if you’re fit and like a challenge or nature reserves in south, party town and tourists (in the ‘day’) in Queenstown and decent skiing and boarding if it’s your thing. What you looking for that you didn’t find before? |

Hamner Springs is great for chilling out in the hotpools & in any kind of weather.
Further north, the beaches up at Kaiteritiri are amazing.
I'm less familiar with the far south but have had fantastic times in Wanaka & Tekapo.
I feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful and peaceful place.

I like exploring out of the way places and seeing things that are not so well known, such as Clay Cliffs near Omarama and Elephant Rocks near Duntroon.

As a tourist, but lucky enough to have visited 5 times, relatives met Auckland, I will throw my favourites into the mix.
Bethels Beach
Bay of Islands - view from top of hill at Russell is one of most beautiful views
Walk along hill top at Long Bay and back by the shore
South Island - anywhere.
Greetings from the Scots. Xx |

Lived in Auckland for 2 years & took a motorbike & car around the South Island.
There's a number of good places close to Auckland. Piha is worth a trip, the ocean road along the Coromandel is an amazing drive/ride. |

Seeing Bethell's Beach and Piha mentioned, I want to draw attention to a beach I favour over these two: Karekare.
And if you are into hiking, I recommend a walk between Whatipu (at the entrance of Manukau Harbour) and Karekare along the coast (watch the tides!) and retour via the ridge track. Great scenery! |

Just googled it and wow! The photos on the website look gorgeous.
Tunnel Beach is reasonably local to me and is a definite go-see here. |

"Te Anau and the glow worm caves. I went there on the boat late one moonlit night. The moonlight was illuminating the snowy hills. It was quite perfect. "
I did the boat trip to the glow worm caves in Te Anau when I was backpacking then ended up in The Moose bar later and our tour guide for the glow worms sang Taking it Easy by The Eagles. He had an amazing voice. Great memories
