  • Slope point, Waipapa Point, and Bluff are featured in this video and we were so happy we made it down here! Definitely wish we had tried the Bluff Oysters though...

      Thank you! Hahah that is really good to know. If I see em for a decent price I might have to give them a shot lol

    Other cool spots down those ways are balancing rock and howells point lookout near riverton,nugget point,cosy nook/cove,gemstone beach and monkey island and the gardens in invercargill are amazing they even have birds and other animals there.The motorcycle museum is worth a look along with the E. Hayes & Sons hardware store who has some of the "worlds fastest Indian" bikes on display

    • @donovankelly12

      Great list! Thank you for sharing. Nugget Point was something we were hoping to see but we might not make it down there unfortunately.

    Stoked you made it to the bottom of the South and got it ticked off the list… I remember when I made it there, it was great to experience the difference from the north and down through the south…Cheers for another great vid
    (I’m one Kiwi who has pretty much travelled all of NZ apart from the West Coast…will get there one day)

    • @donovankelly12
      @donovankelly12  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Jane, I couldn’t agree more!! It’s so diverse. West Coast seemed really cool the one day we were there, looking forward to seeing the glaciers out that way in the coming weeks! 😃

    Bluff oysters are divine. You transend earthly bonds upon experiencing a raw bluff oyster.
    NZ food must try. Bluff oysters, lambs tails, hungi. Mountain oysters optional.

    Very intrepid. Not many NZers venture that far South on the Mainland let alone overseas visitors/new residents. The Caitlins area to the West of Invercargill is well worth a visit too. Cheers.

    • @donovankelly12
      @donovankelly12  Рік тому

      It is definitely out of the way so I can see why, but that’s another reason why Roxburgh has been a great home base to explore Otago and Southland. The Caitlins do sound nice, thank you for the recommendation! Cheers, John 🍻

    keep up the great videos bro. I was born in NZ however i have unfortunately only visited the south island once so its awesome to see your perspective.

    • @donovankelly12
      @donovankelly12  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! Yeah the South Island has been really nice, but as someone who lived so close to the Rocky Mountains in Canada I have to say I was really blown away by the beautiful landscapes and beaches on the North Island!

    • @bosini2237
      @bosini2237 Рік тому

      @@donovankelly12 that’s really cool to hear! Even though places like Wanaka and Queenstown are stunning i would take the beaches in northland over the south any day.
      If you ever find yourself back up north of Auckland try check out Forestry beach, Tawharanui, Pakari and Te Ari beach if you haven’t already. My favourites.

    • @donovankelly12

    @tonybennett4159 Рік тому +1

    Didn't get to Slope Point, but did the Catlins Coast which is adjacent. For those who think Slope Point is almost in the Antarctic : fun fact, all of New Zealand (even Slope Point) is nearer to the Equator than Great Britain.

    • @donovankelly12

    Never tried Bluff Oysters, might have to give them a go. Would be useful to know what the differences are or what things to appreciate about them compared to oysters from elsewhere.

    • @donovankelly12
      @donovankelly12  Рік тому +1

      I don’t know why but google says Bluff oysters are meatier and have a more intense flavour than their cousins around New Zealand. They are arguably best eaten fresh, raw and straight from the shell, but are also delicious battered, served Kilpatrick or in a seafood chowder

    • @trudimclaren4301
      @trudimclaren4301 Рік тому +1

      From a shellfish hater; I can't stand normal oysters, but I can *tolerate* a battered Bluff oyster 😅 My Dad and sister were always obsessed with them, though. Dad said the best he could describe them was how a pure, clear sea would taste.

  • @Biceman
    @Biceman Рік тому

    Bruh! You went to Bluff and didn't get oysters? If you're nervous of the old snot rocks, just mix with shallot vinaigrette and they go down easy. We'll need a separate video of you eating a dozen. We won't let you off with 1 or 2 now...

    • @donovankelly12
      @donovankelly12  Рік тому

      Haha the vinaigrette doesn’t make it sound any more appealing. If we come across them I will consider it 🍻
