WOW!

Jen - October 2024

This book has really inspired me to get out and travel more. We camp as a family as much as we can but this has motivated me to get out and enjoy those special moments together even more. The photography is absolutely stunning and catches New Zealand and its raw beauty so well. The author goes into lots of detail about places to camp and attractions to visit. We have the most beautiful country and this book is a testimony to how much there is to go and explore.
Perfect coffee table book!

H Bainbridge - October 2024

This has made a perfect coffee table book. So many of my visitors have picked it up and loved it so much they went to purchase their own. The writer has a beautiful way with words and really takes you on their adventure leaving you with inspiration for your own future journeys. I hear they also have a cook book I am on the look out for.

Purchased this book at Paperplus as a companion for our 4 week New Zealand trip after being referred to it from the caravan park we were staying at in Queenstown. Absolutely incredible, so many amazing images and valuable information. The perfect book for the next few weeks. Love the recipes too. Im cooking the lamb burger tonight. Larry UK

I grabbed this book as soon as I arrived in Queenstown to kick off our camper van adventure. It’s such an incredible guide for exploring both islands! I'm really excited for our holiday …. What an amazing bible for our holiday around both Islands. Cannot wait to try the hot pools - so many more than I thought

Local Guide Gem

Hugh - September 2024

I have been watching this family on YouTube and fell in love with their NZ travels. They are humble and very easy to watch. This prompted me to buy both of their books. I am so thrilled I did, as they are amazing. The cookbook is beautifully presented and has great recipes, and the travel book is so well set out with loads of handy information for hitting the road. Great Chrissy gift or one for the camper this summer.
Lots of knowledge

Erica Tama - September 2024

Planning my South Island trip and picked this up in town. I loved the kiwi authors tales of her own journey and what they discovered. Good spots, tips and I’m now convinced on a year long Vanlife trip
Jam packed with great information

Libby - September 2024
