    Evans bay marina

    20–23 ene. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    If you wish to park here, try to arrive early, yes there are plenty of spaces, some for bigger vans. For us we took up 3 spaces, yes im sure some will complain but we are big with a slideout, small vans and cars had taken the bigger spaces. But it was a lovely spot, we took our scooters for a spin around to another bay. We got to catch up with Pauls brother at the same time.Leer más

    This time round everything in the area is so dry, this made it dusty. Its a great place to chill, fish or walk along the beach or through the bush to whates bay. We fished from rarangi beach, Paul cought 3 gurnard. Our next fish was around at whites bay in witch I cought 1 snapper and 1 gurnard. Whites bay also has a doc camp but you cant stay with pets, it has a nice swimming beach thats sandy.Rarangi is pea pebble. Meet a couple thats just 3 weeks into life on the road, also, lovely couple.
    We went into Blenhiem to meet up with a lovely couple we meet in Gisborne last year, it was a great catch up. The rest of our time we chilled.    Leer más

    We booked in for 7 nights as we love it here. No dogs allowed. We have been here 3 times already but this time was diffrent, there are camp hosts, they were out when we arrived but there mate came down as we were setting up, not dogs or cats he said, yet it had not been a problem in the past with doc driving past for maggie is always on a lead. So we done 1 night and left. We did get a nice fish in down at the peir,. There were alot well set up that look to have been there for some time. The atmosphere definitely was not the same.Leer más

    Hanmer Springs nzmca

    16–19 feb. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Hanmer is really very nice, laid back. We took a detor here for the hot pools, the hydrotherpy pools are great. Also picked wild blackberries from side of the road plus we found a great spot last time we were in town. So with fresh blackberries and free range apples why not make a pie, even had blackberries and apples left over so made jam as well.Leer más

    Kaiapoi nzmca park

    19–24 feb. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    This park is handy, supermarkets , dumpstations near by, even a friut forest across the road. We bumped into the previous owners of our van, that was good to find out a few things. We also bumped into some of our wonderful followers, gave them a spare surfcaster as they were keen to try fishing. We look forward to pics. A visit across the road to the fruit garden turned fruitful, apples at this stage other fruit not quite ready, apples in hand back home and I whipped up some bottled apple ready incase we find more blackberries.
    Lots of dogs this time round, I took the neighbours dogs for a walk while Paul had his rest.    Leer más

    Godley Head

    24–28 feb. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Who would have thought this Amazing place existed in New Zealand. World War 2 coastal defense Battery was so accessible to those that wished to view It. Sitting on a 120 m cliff its lovely. Campsite is run by doc ,plenty of large spaces to park up, flush toilets , and tap water also on sites that advise to boil.
    Wonderful walking tracks if you're into that or biking. Stunning views back towards christchurch. We were lucky enough to get to see a cruise ship coming out of the Lyttlelton Harbor. Tenting is allowed on-site, Dogs on lead's also allowed. Spark and Wireless Nation both work well here.    Leer más

    Great Spot by the River – NZMCA Park

    We stayed at the NZMCA park, just down the dusty road, and it was a nice place to stop! If you’re after some shade, the big trees near the road are perfect. There’s water available next to the sign-in shed, along with a rubbish bin.

    We’ve also left another model in the shed for others to enjoy!

    Heads up: The park gets busy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, with lots of dogs around. Unfortunately, this is where our Maggie was attacked by a dog that broke free. Luckily, she’s okay, but something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with pets.    Leer más

    Wakanui beach freedom

    21–25 mar. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    **"A perfect spot for those who love fishing! Paul caught two delicious elephant fish and a gurnard—yum! We spent four lovely nights here, with neighbors for only two of them.

    As you arrive, you can choose a sheltered grassy spot to the left or continue on to park in the open on the stones. You can stay for up to two weeks, and there’s a long drop toilet—just no basin to wash your hands.Leer más

    Galletlys rd freedom

    29–31 mar. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Back at Galletlys Rd for the fourth time—this spot never gets old! 🌊🎣 Beach walks, fishing, and pure relaxation—just what the doctor ordered. If you're coming here, don’t even think about driving on the beach with a 2WD… as someone unfortunately found out tonight! 🚗⚠️

    There are rubbish bins on-site, and you must be fully self-contained. Trains pass by at night near the main road, but they’ve never bothered us.

    Maggie is loving the little patch of grass here, though after her recent dog attack, she’s staying extra cautious. 🐾💜

    Have you been to Galletlys Rd? Let us know your experience!    Leer más

    Old seadown school POP

    1–4 abr. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    We’ve just spent six lovely nights at the NZMCA POP in Seadown, at the old Seadown School. Even though we parked along the roadside, it was absolutely fine. There’s a water hookup available, and gray water can be emptied under the trees.

    The old schoolhouse has been transformed into the owners’ home, and the property is beautifully maintained. There’s a large, flat grass area for parking, plus handy facilities including a toilet, shower ($2), and a washing machine ($4) and dryer under the water tower near the owners' home. The lawns and gardens are well cared for, making for a peaceful stay.

    This can be a busy spot, but there’s no need to book ahead—just turn up and pop a donation in the box near the entry. Best of all, it’s only an 8-minute drive to Temuka or 10 minutes to Timaru’s Pak’nSave for supplies.

    A great stop if you're passing through!    Leer más

    Galletys Rd freedom

    4–7 abr. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Back at Galletys Rd freedom camping for another couple of nights.
    Fishing wasn’t any good this time around 😐 oh well!
    We did get to catch up with our lovely followers Cynthia & Gary McEntee, who came after seeing our fish haul last weekend. At least they didn’t go home empty handed!
    Even managed to pull a little prank on Gary — couldn’t resist!
    Noticed the bins are overflowing and haven’t been emptied by council, so I’ll be letting them know.    Leer más

    Kuri bush side of the road

    19 de abril de 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Cruising along looking for a spot to stay, we stumbled across this gem—big enough for us at 14m! Right next to the beach, just how we like it.

    Over the weekend we had a few neighbours come and go, along with plenty of dog walkers. We managed to snag the best spot—our own little walkway straight onto the beach, with grassy space for Maggie to lounge around.

    Waking up, opening the bedroom blind, and looking straight out to sea… it really doesn’t get much better than that. The weather hasn’t been the greatest, but I reckon this could be a great fishing spot. Lots of kelp and rocks either side of the beach—looks promising!    Leer más

    What a great place, water, longdrop and plenty of space to park. We will be back thats for sure. You can stay 28 nights a year. No good for flounder or fishing. But away from the world its so peaseful and relaxing, a great place to unwind, regroup. There is a small sealed area or grass for parking. Wifi and cell both work hereLeer más

    Devils staircase freedom

    7–8 may. 2025, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Hoping to stop for a night around Kingston. We checked out the Freedom Spot, but found it was more suitable for smaller vehicles. Us being 8 metres, far too big. So we headed off thinking we will find somewhere along the side of the road, as it was a permitted area for camping. We came across this beautiful spot, small pile of gravel, parked up under the beautiful autumn trees. We were right next to the Devil's Staircase Creek. Beautiful spot. Had a little walk down the ramp to the side of the creek to the Lake Wakatipu. Later on small vans turned up and parked up next to the lake. Peaseful sleep.Leer más
