Harwoods Hole
5.0/5
45 minute walk through an ancient forest (after a 10km windy, gravel track) submerging into an epic break in the forest, crazy beautiful scenery, valleys, birds, tree tops.
Well worth the extra drive/walk.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
Marahau Sea Kayaks / MSK
4.0/5
Morning aqua taxi north of Marahau, then a six hour guided kayak tour back to Marahau.
Beautiful scenery, good lunch and a little bit of history/knowledge. Marginally overpriced at $154 per person.

Nelson Classic Car Museum
3.5/5
Having seen this years show in Wellington, this exhibition was very much a repeat performance at $24 each.
If I have not been to the show, the costumes are well worth a look. Would have been nice to see some costumes from previous years though. All in all, I would say it was overpriced for a fairly small collection, but awesome costumes. If you are a fan of classic cars as well then it is probably well worth a visit!

North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Kaikohe ▷
Ngawha Springs
3.5/5
Great, cheap, local hot springs in Ngawha, Northland.
Great choice of temperatures and pools. Note: remove all jewellery - will tarnish silver. Wear an old swimsuit, the smells hang around for days, other than that, a great hidden spot.

South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Coronet Peak Ski Area
3.5/5
When there is good weather and good conditions, the mountain is overcrowded and queuing for lifts can be expected.
Average lunch facilities. Beautiful views and great for beginners/intermediate/blue runs.
