The Pyramids (Victory Beach), Dunedin, OTAGO

This is one of Dunedin’s most remote beaches and it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t believe I lived in Dunedin for 6 years and never came here (except I can, because it’s quite the mission). Fun fact: Dunedin has like 25+ beaches. I should do a blog post dedicated just to Dunedin beaches, because they are […]

Tunnel Beach, Dunedin, OTAGO

Tunnel Beach is one of Dunedin’s worst kept secrets. For good reason. It’s a great spot, although it’s a steep (but short) walk back up to the car from the beach. The highlight of course is the tunnel down to the secluded beach where you can hunt for fossils and explore caves (at low tide) […]

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 […]

Putangirua Pinnacles & Cape Palliser Lighthouse, WELLINGTON

Cape Palliser is the most southern point of New Zealand’s North Island. It’s a decent 2 hour drive from Wellington, so you need at least a full day to make the most of the area. We left Wellington after a quick coffee and breakfast, road tripped to the cape, did a few short day hikes […]

Cave Beach, TARANAKI

Cave Beach is a section of the larger Waipipi Beach, literally meaning stream-pipi (a small, edible clam you can find by digging your toes into the sand). We didn’t go pipi hunting, but is definitely on the list of Taranaki activities for the next time we are in the area! To get there you travel to […]
