As camper chef gets to work his magic in the outdoor kitchen, I get to relax amongst the golfers! 🏌️‍♀️ 🏌️‍♂️ It may resemble a desert after weeks of hot, humid weather 🏜 without a blade of green grass in sight, but we are actually parked next to the “greens” at a golf club! Here in NZ, many clubs such as this one offer overnight parking for campervans, especially if, like us, you belong to the @nzmcainc - the U.K. equivalent to the @candmclub and @campandcaravan club - if you’re members of one or both (as we are) you can apply for membership to the New Zealand Motor Caravaners Association - or NZMCA for short! This gives access to a wider selection of overnight locations to park with your self-contained camper! 😀 🚐 Also included for the $10 donation here at this golf club, is the use of their facilities including a very good hot shower! There’s no denying, there’s nothing like a powerful soaking under a mains shower to make you feel alive again! @vanlife4x4 . . #vanlifenewzealand #vanlife #vanlifenz #nzmca #campervanlife #campervans #homeiswhereyouparkit #vanlifeuk #parkfornight #campermate #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifeadventures #inspiringadventures #newzealandtravel #roadtripnz #campervanbuild #selfbuildcampervan #ldvcampervan #motorhomes #vanlifelocation #vanlifemoments #newzealandcampervan #discovernz #vanlife4x4 #campervancastaways #vanlifeausnz #motorhome Hmmm 🤔.....where could this be?! 😅 A brief interlude has us return to The city of Sails - yes Auckland 💙and more importantly a very lovely evening spent with our gorgeous eldest child who was there with his work. 😻 So off we fled from Tauranga to spoil him with a quick nibble and a tipple! 🍛🍷👨‍👩‍👦 Do you like the pic of the Sky Tower perfectly positioned poking out the roof of our camper at the brilliantly placed dump area? - Good I thought you’d love it!!😹 This Motorhome parking area at Westhaven Marina is ideal... $40 a night (well what do you expect for goodness sake...this is Auckland!! 🙀🙄), hot showers and loos are included - ask for the code, there’s a number on the sign to contact. A short walk (that’s our walking!) and you’re in the heart of everything, super duper delightful! 🤗🤩🤩 . . #auckland #campervannewzealand #aucklandnz #skytowerauckland #vanlifenewzealand #campervannewzealand #roadtripnewzealand #vanlife #vanlifeausnz #newzealandvanlife #vanlifeeurope #vanlifeuk #campervanlife #campervanadventures #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifestyle #vanlifecamper #selfbuildcamper #campervantrip #homeiswhereyouparkit #vanlifelocation #freedomcamping #park4night #inspiringadventures #newzealandtravel #campervanning #motorhomeadventures #vanlife4x4 #campervancastaways The last time we were here our boys were paddling in the swim holes....that was 18 years ago! We couldn’t remember where on earth these pretty swim holes were, last year we’d even asked in the iSite, as we knew it was somewhere not from from Katikati and Tauranga but our clues didn’t ring any bells with the staff. 😭 Then by chance we spot Mclaren Falls on the map, so yesterday decided to pay them a visit - bingo!! As soon as we turned the corner and saw the pools, that was it....we’d found what we’d been looking for! 🤗 Looking a lot different now, with a new footbridge, car park and none of the overgrowth and trees that we remember walking through. 🤔 Not only that but there’s a fab council run camping area further up the road, just $20 a night for the two of us with brand new hot showers, toilets, washing up area and plenty of sheep and ducks to keep us company! The most amazing sight comes after dark....Glowworms - so many of them appear along a gorgeous stream, just below the camping area, where a walking path leads through the bush, surrounded by the most magical sight of their bright lights in the darkness of the night. Simply like a real life fairy tale! 🤍🧚🏽‍♂️ 🤍 . . . #mclarenfalls #mclarenfallspark #swimholes #vanlifenewzealand #vanlifenz #campervannewzealand #vanlifetravels #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifejournal #vanlifeadventures #campervanlife #campervanadventures #campervantrip #discovernz #newzealandadventures #northislandnz #purenz #campervanliving #vanlife4x4 #campervancastaways #inspiringadventures #practicalmotorhome #roadtrip #vantravels #waterfalls #telegraphtravel #motorhomeadventures #glowworms #glowwormsnz
