I'm a kiwi born and bred and when I watch your video's I feel like I've ignored NZ my whole life, just the joy you get from the simplest things....it's really an inspiration!
Great Vlog guys, hope your parents are enjoying their time here in NZ. Wishing you all a very safe and enjoyable festive season, Merry Christmas guys 🎄🎅🎊🎉
I enjoyed this vlog. Thanks for showing us around. It seems like a stunning place you have moved too. Looks nice and neat. Have a great Christmas. Regards from SA.
Wow! I've been driving through Matakana since my teenage years in the early 80s to go on fishing charters based in Leigh, and in my boating days in my 40s launch the boat in Leigh and Omaha to fish and dive around the Little and Great Barrier islands and on my last visit 2 years ago to see a mate who now lives in Leigh.....i noticed the difference but didn't stop, I will always remember Matakana as a run down country town, 40 odd years later!!
You guys did well to film before coffee after a 5:30 start 😅 we are terrible with motivation for the camera that early! Love the hot chocolate in and edible cup, how did the cup taste? Was it like an ice cream cone?
Good to see you two doing well, I have not been on UA-cam much so I have not been following your adventures. Hope you have a great Christmas and the weather stays hot through summer.👍
Merry Christmas Chantz & Craig & to your MuM & DaD. Happy NY2024. Its my 1st time in 7 years having the Festive Season off work. Fingers x’d I don’t get called into work @ the last minute. Cheers
You guys up north are having great weather for December. Summer has yet to arrive for those of us in Wellington. Very typical El Nino weather patterns so far, which means we're on track to get 6 weeks of warm weather starting in late January. Sigh. My partner loves the weather here (and would be happy living in Scotland) but I sometimes yearn for warmer climes this time of year.
I know the area well . Certainly beautiful. But most kiwis cavy afford matakana as it’s gentrified and one Needs lots of $ to live there . Not a true representation of NZ but celebrate the beauty on offer

nice
The beaches are beautiful
Always feels odd to see my own area on a vlog. Glad you enjoyed your visit here :-)
We live in paradise!
Wishing you a happy Christmas and a fun fabulous 2024 🎉 from Cape Town ❤
What a lovely couple you are! Trust me the water gets much warmer January & February when the tropical currents flow in. Merry Christmas

Stop in at Wenderholm regional park, just past orewa, great beach, bbqs available and just a great place to go.
Coffee ☕ first 😁 this was a fun getaway to watch. I would have been excited for that hot chocolate too...but I might have passed on the cold water 🤔
Awesome memories with your folks.
Thanks for sharing your fun summer day on the beach 🏖️ and that edible cup of hot chocolate looks lekkerrrrrr 😂😋

Ah no, sorry that summer hasn’t yet arrived in Wellington. We’re absolutely loving this sunny weather…winter was looooong 😂😂
I am watching because I am going to go there in 2024
