The West Coast of New Zealand's South Island is a place like no other, with huge glaciers, lush native bush, scenic coastal roads, and a rich mining history it's well worth visiting.

Lived up there in waiuta in the 70s possum trapping loved it pancake rocks the blow holes high tide with a big storm that is something else be prepared to get drenched the noise of the blowholes unbelievable 👍👍

It’s a neat part of NZ aye! One of my favourites for sure 😁

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Apologies for the rain in the back ground of the video! Hopefully it wasn't oo annoying 😅 make sure you are subscribed and ready for the Christmas giveaways! Not long now! 🎅

@timsmith1127 Год назад

I went into Waiuta in April this year with my son, i also agree with going to the blowholes halfway between Greymouth and Westport

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

Waiuta is neat aye! Well worth that drive up the gravel road to see it 😊

...You missed star attraction No. 4.5 near the Hokitika gorge! - the Shaya moya Ecosite which takes just one guest booking per night, has a fabulous outdoor bath under the stars, makes the best woodfired pizza, and you can do a blacksmithing experience and farm tour as well. Book on Campable.

@AdventuresWithRosy 7 месяцев назад

Oh wow all of that sounds pretty amazing! I do like an outdoor bath 😁 probably the sort of place visit if you manage to leave the kids at home haha

Such a lovely couple and a gorgeous family. Thanks for another great video. The West Coast is like stepping back in time.

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

It sure is! You are too kind Katrina 😊

@patelbinal8001 4 месяца назад

If your going to the west coast i would think you should go to shanty town. It tells you all about the past life back in the old days

@AdventuresWithRosy 3 месяца назад

Oh you are right! We didn’t actually go but will go next time for sure 😁

@robinmills5827 2 года назад

Excellent choices, especially when traveling with kids. Sad that on my last glacier visit about 10 years ago, you could climb up onto Fox Glacier.

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Yeh that is a bit of a shame! The paths seem to change every now and then. Would have loved to have seen one of the glaciers up close!

@deponijaneapolis9423 Год назад

After watching this I fall in love With NZ !!!

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

It’s pretty beautiful over here 🥰

@tleej26 2 года назад

You both work so well talking on camera together, lovely seeing the kids at the end👋

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Thanks 😊 we did have some notes haha. Kept the kids quiet with biscuits 😉

@keithtonkin6959 2 года назад

You missed the most interesting and iconic town on the West Coast with a true 19th Century feel and amazing gold mining history, the first town in the Southern Hemisphere to have a public electricity supply (the original setup now being restored) and rapidly becoming an artist hub. It's amazing how many people are not aware of all this until they see it and rave about it. Reefton!!

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Oh we did go to Reefton! Had a nice few nights there staying at the race course.. I don’t think we filmed it 😀 Cute little town!

@keithtonkin6959 2 года назад

@@AdventuresWithRosy I forgot to mention Black's Point too (2km from Reefton and where I live) Trails, Mountain bike trails, river swimming, gold panning, amazing museum, pottery, old gold mines, birthplace of Jack Lovelock, Olympic gold 1500m in 1936 )

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Oh perfect we will have to put that list for when we go back 😊 Chelsea wants more of that Reefton Gin so we will have to go back haha

@keithtonkin6959 2 года назад

@@AdventuresWithRosy The "Captain Moonlight Whisky" is maturing in the barrels as I write so you may be able to get that along with the "Little Biddy Gin"

@timsmith1127 Год назад

Lake Matheson between Franz Joseph Glacier and Fox Glacier is one of the most beautiful Lakes in the World in Winter when there is a Beautiful Reflection in the Water, The West Coast has many Beautiful lakes including Lake Brunner north east of Greymouth

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

Oh yeh we went to Lake Matheson the next time we drove down the coast, beautiful spot huh! I took my camera and tripod for that famous photo but there was wind and the lake wasn’t still! Go figure 😅

@feefeestampinfionacarson6748 2 года назад

Another great episode… thanks for sharing. We will definitely check out some of your recommendations when we head south👍

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Nice! You won’t be disappointed 😁

@tip397 Год назад

Did you guys take a stroll up the 10 mile? Spectacular place.

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

10 mile creek? Nah we didn’t! Will have to add it to the list and go back sometime 😁

Beautiful part of the country…. Looking forward to spending Christmas/new year’s at Gentle Annie

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Oh nice! What a fantastic spot to spend Christmas and New Years!

@mikeblack5475 2 года назад

The Wet Coast is one of our favourite places in the country which is full of MUST DO's. I think you should have made it 10, not 5 as some classics like the Oparara Basin, Charming Creek Walkway and Brunner Mine missed out.

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Oh yeh good point forgot all about the Oparara basin! How neat are those arches up there. You are right about a charming creek too, great spot! We did so many walks over the last few months we forgot some of them 😅

@timsmith1127 Год назад

Point Elizabeth track comes off Cobden by Greymouth is nice to walk

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

Yeh not sure how we missed that one! It’s on the list for next time 😉

@fritzwacker3771 Год назад

I`m in horror about the glaciers current state. Franz Josef glacier reached nearly the ground around 25 years ago.

@AdventuresWithRosy Год назад

It’s pretty scary when you see those signs of where those glaciers were 50-100 years ago! 🫣

@ianhyndman6195 4 месяца назад

That's what glaciers do, hence how valleys are created. Learned that at primary school.

@craignelson-swiftyenzed7578 2 года назад

Did you go up Hargreaves road to the caves and arches well worth it just north of Karamea ?

@AdventuresWithRosy 2 года назад

Yeh we did! Awesome up there aye 👍 wish we had a torch for that bigger cave at the end of the road, looked huge

@lesmondk3376 2 года назад
