New Zealand Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Queenstown Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
When it comes to New Zealand, the name of Queenstown will probably come to mind. If New Zealand is a beautiful country that God has kissed, Queenstown in New Zealand must be favored by God. The blue-green Remarkables, the pure Lake Wakatipu, make up the beautiful lakes and mountains like a movie set. The
sky cable car is located on the top of Bob Peak in Queenstown and is a great location overlooking Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the mountains beyond. As the steepest track cable car in the southern hemisphere, when the cable car rises slowly, the panoramic view of Queenstown is complete, snow mountains, lakes, grasslands, towns... stunning four.
The name of Queenstown originated from the British colonists who believed that the scenery here should be owned by the Queen, hence the name Queenstown.
The surrounding mountains are towering, and Lake Wakatipu is twisted and twisted. Although it looks like a small town, it has the charm of a big city. A large number of travelers come here to experience jumping off the bridge or plane. Crazy behavior.
If you can't stand the excitement, you can slow down and take the cable car up to the top of the mountain overlooking its unique scenery, taste the musician's moving tracks on the street, go to the net red burger shop and taste a big burger, even nothing. Do, find a lakeside bench, watch the seabirds, and immerse yourself in the most beautiful scenery in New Zealand.
This is exactly what I understand in Queenstown. The adventures are colorful and the lakes and mountains are like a movie set, which is full of surprises and fun.
Parking in Queenstown is not an easy task, most people will be full, but you will find an interesting thing, every place will write the longest parking time, and how long it takes to rest is consciously After parking, we looked at the mountain and saw the aerial cable car going straight up. The logo of the skyline at the entrance was also very prominent. After taking the tickets, we started the cable car
daytime in Queenstown. Above you have seen the spatial structure of the whole city. A word beauty can't express her taste at all. With the sunset at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sunshine of the snow-capped mountains is getting less and less, the starry sky begins to appear slowly, the city lights and cars. The light slowly turned on, and the shooting time in this place was the best.

There are two kinds of lambs here, one is shaved and the other is not attached to the hair. The two styles are completely different. You cant feel cute when you look at this shaved hair, but I think Shaved hair should also be more afraid of cold, so for the tourists, these little lambs have also sacrificed a lot.
We came to the stage. At this time, a staff member showed us how to interact with the sheep. Explain the shaving action, and then open the operation, I saw the machine brushed on the lamb, the hair just fell off, touched the hair, very comfortable soft, after ten minutes of busy After that, the lamb is completely turned into a thin person, and it seems that it is not afraid of cold, and it can regenerate new hair.
Then I also demonstrated the process of laying sheep. It was also a very clever puppy. Under the guidance of the owner, I went to catch the lamb on the mountain and step back into the cage. I used the animal's motor skills intelligently, and then watched it. To the little cute things that are difficult to see in peacetime.

One of the best place in New Zealand!
-THE HOBBITON MOVIE SET-
Does the photos look familiar to you? I think most would recognise it in the first look as this is the movie set of one of the world most popular movie, Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit!
Fans of these movies will absolutely love this place as it provides an amazing behind the scenes look, which allows everyone one of us to immerse ourselves in the fantasy world as though they have come to life!
The entire place is much more than beautiful. Every single place has a story to tell. And don’t worry if you have forgotten bits and pieces of the place because there will be a guide that will help refresh your memories!
It is a 2 hour guided tour that brings us to explore the entire place and ending with a free beverage at the Green Dragon Inn!
Several things to take note before visiting here.
1. Book your ticket in advance! Almost everyday is a sold out so make sure you make proper planning to come here!
2. Only guided tours are available, so no free roaming is allowed. Tickets are relatively on the higher side at $89, but it is REALLY WORTH IT!
3. The tour can get a little rush because there are so much to cover so if you want to take photos, make sure to speed things up so that you are not left behind by your tour group.
Honestly, whether you are a fan of the movie or not, I will highly recommend every single Travelers to New Zealand to visit here!

If you are visiting the North Island of New Zealand then definitely precook tickets to Hobbit Village! Prebook because I saw a lot of people turned away. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings books and movies but you don’t need to be a fan to enjoy this site. I knew I was visiting a movie set but I didn’t realize it was still a working sheep ranch! The tours were well timed and I didn’t feel rushed. It was a place I’d visit again. The hobbit houses all really open up and you’re able to step inside some of them.

Lake Tekapo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
🇳🇿 Lake Tekapo,New Zealand for stargazing🌟
#wheretogo
When we heard of Lake Tekapo, New Zealand, only two things came into our minds - stargazing and hotspring. This spot is very photogenic both day and night. It is also art of a UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, making it the perfect spot for stargazing. During the day, we looked from the beautiful Church of the Good Shepherd across the turquoise coloured lake to the mountainous drama of the Southern Alps. The scenery was stunning!I would advised to get there early in the morning as crowds started to come in the late morning. The legendary night sky in Lake Tekapo offers the perfect opprtunity to spot stars. It is something that we can hardly do in other countries.#timetotravel #newzealand #stargazing
Situated on the shores of Lake Takapō amongst the natural beauty of the lake and the mountains, the Church of the Good Shepherd was built to the glory of God and as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie Country.
Picturesque by day and dazzling by night, Lake Tekapo is part of a UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, making it the perfect spot for stargazing.
Definitely a must go place when you are travelling to NZ South Island!

Dunedin Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Yummiest desserts in dud!
If you are in Dunedin and are having sweet cravings, I highly recommend that you head down to Jooni’s and grab yourself a dessert of choice from their variety of options! I loved this place because for less than $10 you get a good amount of sugar you need to satisfy your cravings- I got the Jooni’s special crepes and it was amazing! You can even ask them to make minor adjustments for you and they would be happy to!

MARLOW PLAYGROUND ROAD FOR KIDS
Omg this was the coolest thing I have ever come across in a park! A road track for kids! It is a mini traffic area with mini traffic lights that are actually functional and work for both the vehicles and pedestrians. It even has all the right road signs in mini sizes, a roundabout, a zebra crossing, a tunnel, and even a parking area for bicycles or scooters!

MAORI ART AND MAORI DISPLAY
If you are ever in Dunedin and wondering about Maori culture and people, head on down to Otago Museum, across the road from Otago university, and climb on up to the first floor where they have a massive room for display of Maori art- in the form of paintings, carvings, and even digital art as shown in the first picture, they showcase different clothing and tools from olden days and they even have a mini cinema where you can seat about 10+ people to enjoy a educational film on Maori people and New Zealand as a country.

Lake Wakatipu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Gorgeous Lake in Queenstown
Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake visible from Queenstown and it is the longest lake in New Zealand. The view of this is gorgeous from every angle. When viewing from Queenstown, get to a high point and enjoy the panoramic view from above. #bucketlistreboot
To hike up the Ben Lomond without taking the gondola starts from the trail beside the cemetery up to the gondola station and then walk follow the sign until you arrive at the peak of Ben Lomond. The view from the Gondola station view deck is awesome, you can enjoy the view of the Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.
This is a very attractive lake that borders Queenstown. There are many options for enjoying the including cruises, jet skis and paddle boarding, but be careful as the water is very cold and a thick wetsuit is recommended. Interestingly, there is a seiche that is a slow tidal wave that is sort of like a tide that raises and lowers the water level by 8 inches every 27 minutes. #wintergetaway
#wintergetaway
On the way to Mount Cook, passing through Lake Wakatipu, Maori is the devil's lair. It belongs to the glacial lake like Lake Tekapo, and it has a different blue color in the sun. Here you can see the snow peaks of Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest peak. Although it is summer, because the water is formed by the melting of the glaciers, it is still very cold.
