Cardrona Hotel: The Most Photographed Building in New Zealand?

May 29, 2018 by jeffsetter

Our New Zealand Road Trip took us to the Cardrona Hotel on our way from Queenstown to Wanaka. Many people take State Highway 6 from Queenstown to Wanaka. The highway takes you through Cromwell and the beautiful Kawarau Gorge. If you have already driven through the Kawarau Gorge, then you may want to opt for the more direct route to Wanaka through the Crown Range … [Read more...] about Cardrona Hotel: The Most Photographed Building in New Zealand?

Rippon Vineyard: The World’s Most Photographed Vineyard

May 15, 2018 by jeffsetter

Rippon Vineyard in Wanaka, New Zealand is the "most photographed vineyard in the world" according to locals. It's not hard to see why everyone takes this photo (or a similar photo) when visiting. Location Close to Queenstown and the more well-known Gibbston Valley is Wanaka. Wanaka is more laid back and quieter than Queenstown, but just as scenic. You can drive or … [Read more...] about Rippon Vineyard: The World’s Most Photographed Vineyard

Final drive through New Zealand – Lake Taupo

April 24, 2017 by jeffsetter

One the last leg of our caravan drive from Queenstown to New Zealand, we were headed to Lake Taupo and then on to Hobbiton.

Wineries: Man O’War Vineyards Waiheke Island

We stopped here on our visit to Waiheke Island in September 2015. Man O'War Vineyards Why: Delicious wines, great outdoor space and amazing views of the … [Read more...] about Wineries: Man O’War Vineyards Waiheke Island
