I'm from Tauranga and loved this video (as well as all your others). Rice Rice Baby is my absolute fave! Funnily I've never been to that waterfall - will have to go soon! :)
hahaha I'm SO happy we found something for you to check out even though you're a local! That feels like a pretty good achievement :D We absolutely loved Tauranga - it's just so beautiful! Have a great week ahead, Krysti - Phoebe x
I used to finish work in Tauranga at 1730 then straight to Mt Manganui and run up with all my old Army kit (About 50kgs) 25 minutes to the top and 15 down lol when my Daughter arrived i ditched my Army kit for my Daughter in a purpose built Backpack she loved it
We live about 10 mins drive from Kaiate falls so beautiful there for sure especially after a good rain. Enjoyed seeing your view of our city and I look forward to checking out rice rice baby sometime.
Another Bbbeautifuuul video - thats a lovely song at 1:28 when Phoebe is walking the beach, so inspiring! I look forward to your videos. Are you touring South Island too?? its gonna be a blast! Thank you Matt and Phoebe for everything you do! Have fun!
Yessssss :) I'm so happy you liked this episode! Absolutely, our road trip took us down to the South Island as well so we've got some great videos from there coming your way too. Woohoo!! Phoebe xx
The Bay of Plenty is known for its beautiful coastline and marine life. Take a boat cruise and get out on the water to experience the magic for yourself.
Such a great suggestion!! We didn't have time this trip but I'm looking forward to visiting again in the summer/spring and doing some water-based activities :) Such a beautiful spot for it. Thanks for sharing your tips! Phoebe x
I love the content You and Mat provide, And how people could treat themselves while on holiday. Our holidays weren't as flash but still cool ! Mainly just chillax'n with the Fam's, So Beach, BBQ's and Fish n Chups, Haha, Stay safe you two, And Big ❤ from NZ !
OMG just absolutely beautiful. 10:12 was breath-taking so to see it in person must be out of this world! I can't wait to see and do these activities. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, it was so beautiful - I'm so grateful we got to visit NZ this year, it was a much needed trip. Did wonders for my mental health, that's for sure :) Hope you can visit some of these spots soon! Phoebe x
Hallo thank you again l am So much enjoy in your video travel guide every things so beautiful when you go some where good looking all places very large area great adventure love of travel thank you so
The waterfalls were stunning , captured so well in your vlog, Matt you are so good. Your food choices were spot on. My wife and I are booked for New Zealand next year. You've given me another destination to go to. I hope covid doesn't get in the way. Matt and Phoebe, what a team.
Yesss! I'm so happy you're going to NZ next year - I'm sending ALL my good vibes that you can make it over. I can't believe how good our timing was to get over there before this round of lockdowns struck :) Phoebe xx
Awesome again guys! That place looks so beautiful! I now have to put Vietnamese food on my bucket-list. That black swan is such a remarkable looking creature too. It was great to see a glimpse of it.
Yessss! Vietnamese food is so good - it's really fresh, I absolutely love it. Sorry to keep adding to your bucket-list ;) Have a great week - P xxxxxxxx
I'm so happy to hear you like them too! They were great for us - I usually hate that bit where you have to stand around in the depot for ages collecting the car. It was the quickest hire car pickup of my life haha so good!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this one even though you live there :) That's really saying something! Thanks for watching and have a great week ahead - Phoebe xx
Oh :) Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) I often get roasted in the comments for attempting to pronounce things like the locals do haha so it's nice to have that evened out! THANK YOU!
Heya! Waihi Beach seems perfect for walks. That road around Tauranga is amazing. And when you think it won’t get better, the room view from the hotel is even better 😍! Mount Manganui has some nice scenery and great views on the way up. It made me think of Wineglass Bay on Tasmania. Kaiate Falls looks like the Montezuma Falls (yes that’s on Tassie as well haha). Thanks a lot for sharing! I’m gonna get my 2nd jab this Monday and hopefully I can travel abroad again in October, looking so much forward. It’s most likely gonna be Tenerife island of Spain. Have a great week 🤙
I need to make a commitment to get to Tassie in the next 12 months! It sounds like it's absolutely beautiful, such a shame I'm so close and have never been. Hope you're able to travel again ASAP, Felix. You must be so excited at the thought :) P xx
A must is Omanawa and Kaimai Falls then the lookout on the top of the Kaimai pass (All part of my marriage proposal day) Spent part of my time in the NZ Army in the South Island (Burnham) 5 years near Christchurch
We're back home in Brisbane :) We headed over for a 3 1/2 week road trip and filmed a whole bunch of episodes. Managed to get home before this latest round of lockdowns!
haha I love the passion here! So, we were making our way down to Napier via Taupo so in our next episode we drive through Rotorua and checkout the Redwoods then onto Taupo and then Napier :) I feel like we need a good 6-12 months to visit each spot slowly! When I planned our itinerary I thought we'd have plenty of time but then you get there and it's just so quick!
oh my gosh bahahahaha the same thing happens to me! I watch them back when I'm hungry and I get intense tummy grumbles looking at all the food! Thanks for watching :) Phoebe xx
hi I live in liverpool u.k. I have relatives who live in rotorua in the bay of plenty. I visited on year 2000 was there for one month I walked up to the top of my manganui and went on the jet boat rides, shooting, horse riding, off road driving too! Had the holiday if a lifetime... I hope to visit again in my lifetime. 🌅🏝🌍❤💕🏞🌍
