Von Wellington nach Picton über Cook Strait
Das windige Wellington werde ich wohl nicht vermissen. Sicher gibt es in der Umgebung viele tolle Sachen zu entdecken, aber die Stadt selbst hat mich nicht wirklich begeistert. Kann aber auch am ständigen Wind liegen. Mit der ersten Fähre geht's jetzt über die Cook Strait von der Nord- auf die Südinsel. Gerade mal 3,5 Stunden …
Hiking Abel Tasman National Park with Friends
The world is small and so we bumped into Marielle and Sebi which are good friends of us and were on a half a year around the world trip. Okay it actually was all planed nevertheless we were all delighted to see each other at the other side of the world.
However before they arrived from the North Island we had a look around picturesque …
De laatste paar dagen op het zuidereiland
Kaikoura
Gisteren kwamen we aan in Kaikoura. De plek om walvissen te zien. Linda en ik hadden ons dan ook meteen hiervoor opgegeven, terwijl de rest wilde gaan vissen??!! Helaas ging het vissen niet door vanwege de hoge golven. ****, als one whale watch maar wel doorgaat. We zijn dan ook maar om 14.30 uur naar de locatie gegaan om daar te …
Milford Sound to Picton
This is a top pick! We rolled back into Queenstown just before dusk and treated ourselves to dinner at a cozy, rustically decorated place called Chico's. In our riskiest bid for a cheap sleep yet we left Queenstown in the dark in search of a free campsite off the highway. Thanks to Sylvia's surgically sharp eyes we found it and slept in the car again. At the same site …

“ Still okay but not as good as it tend to be ”
Reviewed Jan 20, 2013
The Villa has been there a long time ago. Visited it the first time 10 years ago. Although it has expanded quite a bit since then its still a nice backpacker but its getting a bit packed. It's clean and has a well equipped kitchen with free coffee and tea (although in the past they served free apple crumble which they don't do anymore :( ). The mattress was a quite used and should have been replaced a while ago.
They give you 100 MB free Wifi - good, but I think these days every backpacker should have free unlimited Wifi like in Asia (if backpackers in countries like Laos can do it then it should definitely be possible in NZ).
Anyway, all in all I can recommend the Villa. You will like it.

“ the best place so far ”
Reviewed Nov 29, 2012
This backpackers lodge is by far the nicest place I've neen in New-zealand. It has a nice patio where yuo can sit outside in the sun or near the fire place. The dorms are clean as is the kitchen. You can use their bikes for free. And the staff helps you with anything you ask. Too bad I can't upload a picture with this review, because if you see the place you'll fall in love with it.

“ Lovely little place ”
Reviewed May 19, 2012
Feels like home. Chatty owner with dog and some nice freebies. People were friendly. Not a party place
