Manu and Vladka your hosts at Mediterranean Motel Kaikoura

Did the earth move for you?   Just after midnight on the 14th November 2016 I was asleep 180 kms south of Kaikoura in Christchurch.  Christchurch is used to earthquakes, but when we woke at this one, and it went on and on, we knew it was serious.  We live by the coast and along with our neighbours and after some initial confusion, we jumped in our cars and … [Read more...]

Devonport – just a ferry away from Auckland

October 15, 2016 by Rosemary Neave Leave a Comment

Devonport is just a 12 minute Ferry ride (they run every half hour) from downtown Auckland, we often catch the Ferry and have coffee on the 'other side'. Until the Auckland Harbour Bridge was built, this was a backwater - a place for holidays and leisure pursuits. The remnants of this remain with some gorgeous old buildings in the main street and elegant older homes, now … [Read more...]

Women Kayak the Abel Tasman

Abel Tasman National Park is a the top of the South Island of New Zealand, and is one of New Zealand's Great Walks - renowned for its golden beaches, sculptured granite cliffs, and its world-famous coast track.

Rafting the Clarence River

March 14, 2016 by Rosemary Neave 5 Comments

Rafting has been on my bucket list for ages – I am not that mobile on my legs, but love paddling, biking and swimming. The opportunity to raft the Clarence River in the South Island of New Zealand was definitely not something I wanted to resist.  The Clarence River is just north of Kaikoura at the top of the South Island of New Zealand.
