  • Mangawhai is a just a short drive north of Auckland city. It's nestled between beautiful rolling farmlands and the pacific coast.
    On our way to the Mangawhai cliff walk, we stopped off first at Mangawhai Tavern to fuel up on some delicious food. This casual dining spot in Mangawhai overlooks the water and has a great menu filled with fabulous mixed cuisines. Excellent place to eat if you're in the area!
    Mangawhai Tavern
    Address: 2 Moir Street, Mangawhai 0505 , New Zealand
    Hours: 11:30am til late everyday
    After getting some food in our bellies, we headed out to Mangawhai Heads to attempt the cliff walk there. We struggled for a bit to actually find where to start the Mangawhai cliff walk but we eventually found our way by walking along the beach and asking people if we were on the right track! Thankfully we were. Stunning coastal views and a really cool beach too. It was such a scenic and enjoyable walk. We hope our video helps others find the place easier too!
    After our coastal cliff walk, we headed back to the car to look for our Airbnb. Little did we know that it was super close by and literally right next to the beach! The accommodation had an incredible ridge top view overlooking the surf beach and our host was really lovely. We even made friends with a couple of cute canines too on the property.

    The next day we made our way back to Auckland but we stopped off in Matakana along the way as we wanted to visit a place we found called Sculptureum. We read great reviews about their art gallery and gardens as well as the restaurant that's there called Rothko. We absolutely loved our meals at Rothko and would happily go back to Matakana just for the dining alone!
    The sculpture walk and gardens at Sculptureum was also a really awesome way to spend a peaceful afternoon. They feature 750 works of art from around the world in an impressive private indoor and outdoor gallery. It was a wonderfully unique and captivating experience. We didn't even know where all the time went as we were enjoying our stroll so much!
    Sculptureum & Rothko
    Address: 40 Omaha Flats Rd, Auckland, NZ
    Hours: Both are closed Mon - Wed.
    Sculptureum is open Thu - Sun 11am - 5pm
    Rothko is open Thu - Sun 11.30am - 3pm but on Fridays they're also open for drinks / bar snacks from 4pm - 7pm and Saturdays dinner is 5pm - 8pm.

    I just googled the Matakana Sculptureum....and after viewing the photos I think I could seriously contemplate moving back to NZ so that I could secretly live there without no one knowing....my family are more than welcome to come but I feel if I mention it to them they might think I'm crazy and have me locked up...hahaha. The Sculptureum....your right Peter, I didn't think NZ had galleries like that ( but I'm glad it does ). I am completely in Awe with it. ( the polar bear with it's ice enclosure is awesome )

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    @tooks7177 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow....I lost count on how many times I watched this video...but really Peter...the lamb shank!...bro your killing me....although that Mangawhai tavern burger ( diverse menu ) Yen had with the crispy bacon & melted cheese - and the Rothko fish'n'chips with the sound of the crunch when Yen took a bite of the battered fish - they both looked extremely delicious, but I feel they will always come 2nd along side that damn lamb shank, ( the potato chips I was eating during this all of a sudden started to taste like garden leaves & twigs. lol ). Guy's any art or anything associated with it I love, so when you did the art gallery/sculpture walk I was completely immersed in it...I don't know what else to say except that its definitely on my bucket list - thanks for showing me that one Peter & Yen......Damn you Lamb Shanks!.

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hahahaha Tooks I was thinking about you as the lamb shank arrived to when I sliced open that first tender piece of meat 🍖 to when I took the first bite and experienced those heavenly flavors. Yup Tooks would really enjoy this too was my thought 😂 def need to do this bucket list item such a gem 💎

    hi yo guys what can i say ? another amazing place, i think i could spend six months there as that was my kinda place, just love these not so well known places that are not on the main back packers trail. and yes that food did look good and considering the sort of place that it was it actually was not over expensive, an amazing bnb also at a reasonable price. glad to see you both looking so well and thanks for lifting my day . you both take care yeah , waiting in anticipation for the next one haha

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      😁 yo Barry 👋 glad you really enjoyed this one. Think mangawhai in particular is quite a local/aucklanders get away area. The matakana sculptuereum was just a gem 💎 of a find in New Zealand didn't even know about it. N you're right it is quite a fancy place but the meal was reasonably priced 😍 and delicious 🤤 we are both doing well, venturing out a bit more now that things are more under control. How are you going over there in the UK?

    I had a huge grin on my face watching you at the Sculptureum. I worked for Council in resource consenting back when the owners were starting the project and was involved in granting their first consent application. The last time I was on the property there was nothing but a plan on paper, and I love seeing that it turned out even better than was imagined! I really have to visit and see the final product ....and try the lamb!

    Awesome that you went to the Sculptureum. Have been thinking about going there for a while and it looks amazing. There's another place up that way called Gibbs Farm which is supposed to be absolutely spectacular. Think it's only open to the public one weekend a year and is almost impossible to get tickets to. Some real unexpected gems in New Zealand eh.

    • @PeterandYen
      @PeterandYen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

Very immersive! 💕💕
