  • In this vlog we hit up some of the most scenic sights in the South Island of New Zealand. We made the journey from Te Anau, passed back through Queenstown to get to Wanaka and eventually made it all the way to Lake Tekapo. It was a super long day of driving but so worth it getting to see such breathtaking places.
    When we arrived in Wanaka we needed a quick refuel so stopped by a lakefront bakery called Doughbin. They had some award winning NZ pies so it was a no brainer for us to eat here before going to see that iconic Wanaka tree!
    The Doughbin Bakery
    Address: 123 Ardmore Street, Wanaka 9012
    Hours: Mon-Sun 6am-5pm
    The scenic spots we visited in this vlog were:
    1. The Devil's Staircase
    We pulled over for a quick stop at this lookout spot on the drive from Te Anau headed to Wanaka. Be careful when you pull over as it is a busy winding road.
    2. Lake Wanaka
    There's a lone willow tree that's one of the most photographed trees in New Zealand. It's right next to a car park too, so super easy to get to. You need to come on a still day and either very early or closer to sunset to get that perfect snap.
    3. Lindis Pass
    On the way to the clay cliffs, there's a unique mountainous area that's covered in that classic NZ tussock grass. There are 2 lookout points that are very easy to get to from the carpark. It's a great excuse to take a break from driving and to stretch your legs while soaking in some stunning scenery.
    4. The Clay Cliffs
    Sometimes known as Omarama Clay Cliffs, these astounding "badlands" came to be around 20 million years ago when they were created out of layers of silt and gravel deposited by ancient glaciers. Wind and rain eroded the landscape leaving amazing pinnacles behind. The clay cliffs are on private land and there's an honesty box at the gate entrance.
    5. Lake Tekapo / The Church of the Good Shepard
    We weren't originally planning on going to Lake Tekapo on this South Island road trip as it meant adding to our already very long day of driving but we figured we just had to go see it. We're glad we did. We got to catch the sunset over the breathtakingly beautiful turquoise lake with snow capped mountains in the background. In summer you can see colourful lupins in the fields so I think we need to return again in the future! It's worth staying til night time and waiting for the stars to come out as it's the largest gold standard dark sky reserve in the world meaning it's the best place for star gazing.

The terrain there reminds us a lot of California in some ways. Desert, Mountains, Snow, Ocean.. all within an hour of each other!!

    I can see why you said it feels different between South Island and North Island. I would say I love South Island scenery a tiny bit more from North Island, but it can definitely change. Since I never been to North Island and my opinion still can be changed of course once I have the opportunity to visit North Island one day! haha

      @@PeterandYen No probs. Geography 101. All the moisture in those westerly winds falls as rain on the West Coast and in Fiordland and dry by the time it getsto Lindis. I recommend cycling The Rail Trail from Clyde to Middlemarch. It's easy cycling over 3-4 days through spectacular countryside! There are companies (e.g. Trail Journeys) that sort out all the logistics for you

      It started as a fence post over 80 years ago. Back then there was a fence line on a farm but this particular post started growing! The area has since been encroached by the lake and/or sunk because of seismic activity. Willow trees are often planted on NZ farmland to stabilize land from erosion.
