Cathedral Cove, COROMANDEL

This is one of New Zealand’s most iconic spots. You’ve probably seen it all over Instagram, Pinterest, tik tok and any blog post about travelling in the North Island of New Zealand. It’s worth 100% of the hype. But, if you’re like me, you might not realise it’s actually a bit of a hike to […]

Cape Egmont Lighthouse, TARANAKI

Who doesn’t love a good lighthouse trip? This one was pretty out of the way, but such a lovely road trip my MiL and I took while on our Taranaki adventure. While we were there we chatted about doing a “lighthouse series” and to try collect all the lighthouses in New Zealand. We have already […]

Paritutu Rock, TARANAKI

I did not do enough research before we went on this walk. Hahaha. Anyone whose done this walk will understand the issue when I also point out that I am sooo afraid of heights and have a massive fear of falling. It’s scary. But it’s 100% fine. I just wasn’t prepared for how steep and […]

Waitanguru Falls, WAITOMO

Well, it’s been a hot minute thanks to COVID-19 lockdowns, but I finally made it to waterfall number 7 of the year (just in time before the country went back into level 2 and Auckland went into lockdown) . If you’ve read some of my other posts you might know that one of the goals […]

Ototoka Falls, WHANGANUI

This year I wrote a 20 for 2020 list. On that list was 2 things I want to do thia year, inspired by Gretchen Rubin. Now, last year I did a 19 for 2019 list and achieved probably about half of them. So some things are a carry over. And other things are new. One […]

Maraetotara Falls, HAWKES BAY

This is a sweet little waterfall in the Hawke’s Bay that requires a day trip to the beach to really make the most of the roadie out there. The great thing is that you don’t have to hike to the falls (it’s maybe a 5min walk from the road) but you do need to know […]

Mangawhero Falls, TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK

We visited this falls in Winter 2019, but I really wanted to include it in my waterfalls collection because it is one of the most beautiful and accessible falls we have ever visited in the north island of New Zealand. Mangawhero Falls are a 28m ‘plunge’ fall in the heart of Tongariro National Park. It’s […]

Te Ana Falls + Tangoio Falls, HAWKES BAY

24km north of Napier (about a 20-25min drive) on state highway 2 is a cute we hike where you can enjoy these beautiful waterfalls. Kid friendly, (but no dogs) the whole loop is about a 4km/1 hour hike. But leave time for swimming and enjoying the view!! It’s a little bit of a pick-your-own adventure […]
