    Galletys Rd freedom

    4–7 Apr 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 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.    Baca lagi

    Old seadown school POP

    1–4 Apr 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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!    Baca lagi

    Galletlys rd freedom

    29–31 Mac 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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!    Baca lagi

    Wakanui beach freedom

    21–25 Mac 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 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.Baca lagi

    Ashbourton nzmca park

    14–20 Mac 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    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.    Baca lagi

    Godley Head

    24–28 Feb 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.    Baca lagi

    Kaiapoi nzmca park

    19–24 Feb 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 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.    Baca lagi

    Hanmer Springs nzmca

    16–19 Feb 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.Baca lagi

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.Baca lagi

    Evans bay marina

    20–23 Jan 2025, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 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.Baca lagi

    Ngawi camping area

    12–16 Jan 2025, New Zealand ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    If the weather was better this would be a beatiful spot. Loo drop loos onsite along with rubbish bins. Due to the bad weather we didnt get to watch the comeings and goings of the fishing boats. A short drive up the road to the cape palliser lighthouse, we were told it was some 240 steap steps to the top. We decided to move back down the road abit and found a lovely spot to park up and fly our lines out from next to our van. Paul got us a feed, I let the team down this time 🙂. For being parked up on the side of the road all we heard were the waves.Baca lagi

    Oraka Reserve freedom parking

    Very nice, peaseful stay. Parking is just to the left as you drive in, there are small signs on the posts showing you where to park.new flush loos, rubbish bin onsite. Nice lagoon to swim in and not to deep at low tide, it seems to be the local pippy stop. Bit of a walk around at low tide to the rivermouth. Thursday night was packed out with some parking outside of the freedom area. Other nights only 4 of us. This is a 3 night max but due to really bad weather we stayed 1 extra night. Wireless nation ans spark work well.Baca lagi

    Anaura bay doc campsite

    5–10 Dis 2024, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Just 8kms in from the main road sits this beatiful doc camp, you might need first gear to get up the hill but once at the top, what you see is a beatiful white sand beach that streachers along the coast line, farm animals romming free, the road is sealed all the way. You can use your doc pass here or they have a nightly fee. There are 2 tanks on site to empty your cassette into but be warned it stinks so dont breath 😁. Water onsite but not for drinking. There is so much space here,but booking is best. So peaseful fishing is ok . Wireless nation works good spark is patchy.Baca lagi
