NZ is truly a beautiful place and having spent time out there in the 70’s I’ve always said it is the only other place in the world I would want to live other than the UK. You’re very lucky to have roots there Nick and always be able to return to - have a great holiday!😀

@gypsyelvesj6257 3 года назад

Hello from Oregon. Happy to see your footage/video of Mangawhai. My husband’s aunt, Ada May Elvey, married Louis Wintle in the 1930’s, and moved to Mangawhai at that time, living there until she died. We are planning a trip in 2022, provided the country is open and COVID allows us. We definitely plan to spend time there in Mangawhai researching the Wintles. You may be a cousin of some sort.

@theresagriffiths4477 5 лет назад

I always remember the memories of growing up as a child and a teenager going up to mangawhai heads every Christmas year my father and my mother and me with my older brother and two sisters and there husbands and kids we were a big family we all enjoyed the fishing spots around the beaches and the camping grounds were definitely different there when I was there I will be coming back for a day trip to have a good time in the summer season this year.

@LenserX 5 лет назад

I am soooo looking forward to exploring NZ soon. We have been working on setting up a film to shoot in and around Wellington so I have been soaking up as much Kiwi culture and info as I can. The more I learn the more I like. I grew up in a small western desert town of about 9,000 in Eastern Oregon. Your hometown looks like paradise to me.

@arvindchandra2202 5 лет назад

Nick, my wife and I absolutely loved NZ when we went there for her brother's wedding in 2011 (his wife is kiwi). If you happen to drive up to Mangonui, please eat at the Thai restaurant there and say a big hi to the best chef in the world !!!! easily one of the finest meals we have ever had.

Enjoy your videos. We arrived at Christchurch today and find it just a lovely little town, with blue skies and comfortable weather. Downtown is full of construction, esp. at the cathedral, that was heavily damaged in the 2011 earthquake. We will be touring Auckland and other beautiful sites, for a total of 2.5 weeks.

@Poorschedriver 5 лет назад

NZ quarantines Tui but they let you in? And they say our Immigration policy is messed up. All kidding aside Nick, thanks for the fantastic video tour. What a truly enchanted place, I really hope I get to see it someday. Plus love the E30! I learned to drive stick on one, it's truly a wonderful little car (and worth a mint nowadays).

I am stuck living in Washington DC now but my family used to holiday in an old tram at Mangawhai in the 80s! lots of fun memories there. I remember the tide going out leaving two King Fish trapped in a big sand pool. Dad tried to get them with a carving knife taped to a cricket wicket....

@bradpittskiwiwife 5 лет назад

My understanding is that the permanent population in Mangawhai is now around 4,000 due to the influx of mainly Aucklanders selling up and moving to Mangas. Census when it comes out won't be *that* accurate as many people never received the forms or online code. Summer season swells to around 20,000 (excluding Northern Bass over new years).
