vlog | 12 days in new zealand with family 🌺 | FULL LIST of where to go + what to eat in description!

[FIRST VOICEOVER VLOG – SHOW SOME LOVE 💗]

fact errors in the video - it was only autumn in March, which is why the sun sets later (not because it's nearing winter as i originally said), and hobbiton is of course in NZ, not australia (i got carried away doing the VO!)

it was our first ever trip to New Zealand and we managed to cover both North and South island in just 12 days! 👀

earlier in March, we finally visited NZ with my family for the first time and it was such an amazing trip that I had to make sure I documented every single moment and day down!

we all flew into Christchurch, and made our way downwards towards Queenstown at the end of 7 days. we then flew from Queenstown to Wellington in the North Island and drove upwards to reach Auckland at the last leg of our trip.

we booked all our activities via Get Your Guide and most of our accommodations were booked through Airbnb (apartments/homes makes the most sense for a big group!). i'll leave you to it to watch the video to see how much fun we had and the links to everything will be below 💗
