NZ Roadtrip Vlog | Burgers, Pizza, and the Aratiatia Rapids!

Our Kiwi summer roadie brings us to the beautiful town of Ohakune where we'll be exploring the beautiful Tongariro National Park. But first what is an NZ road trip without making a few stops along the way? We stop over at Aratiatia Rapids to see a natural wonder recreated artificially, drive along one of the most scenic roads in NZ and of course hit up a famous burger joint that serves up Ohakune's best burgers.
It's been a while since our last long-format video so we really hope you enjoy the 1st of 5 videos as part of our Tongariro National Park series!
Enjoy!

Hi, good to see you all, Happy New Year! Hi Ate Daisy! Good food, love your adobo!

Nice looking burger mate. Cool road trip too

Defs a must eat spot in Ohakune! Thanks!

Hope you tried the giant eclair while in Ohakune. Blind Finch was crazy good, I had ordered one Italian style chicken burger and it still remains my favorite chicken sandwich till date. Cheers...

[@locavore_eats]

Blind Finch was legit indeed! Did plan to go to that Eclair place but I saw an article saying the owners sold it and it was shut when we were there 😢
