- Episode 11, Season 2 of Reveal New Zealand from Marlborough Sounds and we're doing the Queen Charlotte Track hike, one of the best NZ walks. From Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove is... ✪ Take a look at campervan options for your trip here - www.motorhomerepublic.com
Welcome back to the Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand... it's about time we took a hike to burn off some of the calories we've been eating and drinking! We're tackling a portion of the Queen Charlotte Track, a really popular New Zealand hike trail, as we make our way between Furneaux Lodge and Punga Cove.
The Queen Charlotte Track is about 72km of coastal trail deep in the Marlborough Sounds, winding around various different sounds, bays and inlets. There's plenty of tales about Captain Cook in this part of NZ after his various trips to the area, a few of the bays with names reflecting those voyages.
As for the hike, it's a beautiful coastal track with plenty of great stops along the way with views as well. Not too steep, not too flat, not too maintained and not too raw - it's a nice blend of adventure, scenery and nature.
Prices at Punga Cove depend on whether you book a suite, apartment, studio, chalet or basecamp room. Prices also vary from season to season and any specific offers they have on - www.pungacove.co.nz

Nothing like some beautiful views of NZ to make up for a cold, wet Tuesday morning in Glasgow. :)
Happy to bring you some sunshine and good vibes 😊
Hey guys. I have been watching your series together with my wife and son as we prepare to relocate to NZ at the end of the month. It's so great to see all the opportunities that lie before us as we return to my home and begin our new life in NZ together. I'm from Nelson myself so it's great to enjoy all the beauty my corner of the world has to offer! Thank you so much for all this good stuff.
Since getting through all your videos from the very beginning I enjoyed getting a notification for a new one. I was going to start from the beginning and watch random videos again if not, very informative and interesting
You would've just got another notification! Glad you enjoyed the journey from start to finish. We've got loads more vids to come!
@@DanegerAndStacey I can't wait, thank you both
Pleased you had a great time on the track and all the best for future travels.
I am enjoying this series so much, the scenery is off the chart and the filming really captures it. thanks x
Hello
So lovely! Thanks Joanne. We're having the best time filming this series x
Once again you have brought the heart of NZ to the world
So happy you think so 😊
I'm always in such awe of people who live in remote communities such as the ones you talked about. Life feels so fast paced living in London and even the idea of not having something like a dishwasher makes me wonder where I'd get the time needed to hand wash. The idea of having to stock up on food, be that organised when doing a supermarket shop etc. just feels crazy! That A frame cabin that you stayed in was so cute! I can not wait to do this hike myself - the sounds of the wildlife were beautiful in this video ❤️❤️❤️
It would be so fun to experience it for a month or two just to feel what it's really like! Aw thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Secluded living is entirely possible with the right life partner because with them, every day is an adventure regardless :) I loved that hike and the scenery was incredible. The dinner looked pretty cool too, especially with those views! As for 12:26 - no words required!
Aw that's so true!
You’ve done it again guys! Another walk to add to my ever growing list of things to do in NZ. Keep enjoying 😊 Katie
Happy to hear this! We're hoping to add even more to your list in the future. Maybe the Tongariro Crossing next 😊
I’m glad no one unliked the video yet, I would’ve personally lost it if I saw one. Contents like this deserves all the best things in life ❤️
5 have now
There's always a few, can't win over everybody but at least we have epic people like you in the comments to make up for it ❤️
Amazing stuff guys. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
My grandparents did this walk and stayed at the lodges too and loved it! Watching you guys do it and actually seeing it explains why 🥰🥰 love this vid!
So cool you got a glimpse into what they experienced. Would you ever consider doing it?
What a beautiful looking walk guys, so lucky to get it almost to yourselves too!
Very! A little rain can't keep us off the track 😊
Amazing landscapes! Wonderful nature around! ❤️😍🌱
Isn't it stunning! And this was only 12km of the track 😍 We'll definitely have to go back someday and do the whole thing.
Oh my, this popped up during our lunchtime. What to choose for lunch after seeing your lovely video is our dilemma of the hour. Wonderful video guys, looking forward to the next in the series.
Aw thank you guys!! Wait til you see what we have for lunch in the latest vlog 😉
This was beautiful! Agree with Dane! The sounds of the sea is beautiful! 🌊 never mind the gorgeous views!
A pretty special place 😊 Wish we could've spent more time walking the track
I agree, a beer at the bar would be my first choice after walking for 4 hours!!!!
It was a no brainer for me! Although I did accidentally order an alcoholic ginger beer instead of a cider - not my favourite!
Beautiful scenery, excellent music 🎶♥️
Who needs to watch a movie having your top notch videos!
You both are doing an amazing job 👏🏻👌🏻
What a compliment! Someone nominate us for a golden globe already 😂 kidding, thank you!
Your production and editing has gotten better and better since we first discovered your channel years ago. Wonderful series. Agree with the previous comment, we need the origin story of your lovely relationship. Keep up the great work!
I'm absolutely loving this series. Ships cove is an awesome place. Have been there a couple of times by boat
So happy to hear this! And there are so many more episodes to come!!
Yusss!! Home from work, CZcams on, and this pops up! 🙏
Hope you put ya feet up and enjoyed with a beersie!
Loving the series guys.
So happy you're enjoying it! We're already thinking about season 3 🙊
@@DanegerAndStacey like others have said, loving the NZ content but also keen to see similar roadies in others too now borders are starting to open. The mind boggles with where to next. Tropical North Queensland? Western Australia either up from Perth or down through Margaret River and beyond? Tassie with the direct flights? Oh how we’ve missed travel!
Beautiful nature shots!
Thank you! 😊
What a stunningly beautiful place. And I continue to be amazed at how effective you guys are at avoiding crowds. You always seem to have places to yourselves! And what a place to have a beer and pizza. Hiking, beer, pizza, great accommodation...epic day! Thanks again for bringing us along!
Hello
We do have pretty good luck most of the time. This time I think it was because the weather wasn't the greatest so might have put others off, but not us!
@@DanegerAndStacey Nice meeting you here
beautiful nature video
What a gorgeous walking track! Everything I hoped it would be when you did the preview in the previous vlog!
Aww yaaay! So happy you enjoyed it - bet you're watching the new vlog now!
Stacey, I never turn down pizza! My people haha, Stacey you're like the best ever at finding these off the beaten path accommodations! Love it, I enjoyed the wine tour by bicycle video. However, I had a bad experience once riding a bike right after a trip to the pub. Let's just say, Bandaids and aseptic were used. And Dane likes his boots, I always bring flip flops to put on after a hike so your feet can relax a bit. Great video as always. Safe travels, cheers!
Haha Stan the maaan! We're on the same page when it comes to pizza for sure. Oh noooo that doesn't sound like fun, you'll have to do the wine bike tour we did to rewrite the story!
Wauw what a beautiful stunning walking route. Views breath taking 🥰.
Amazing right!? 😍
Stunning sights!
Can't beat the Marlborough Sounds!
Great video as always. Had to laugh at Stacey reading the menu hours before she needed to, that's exactly what I do! One always needs to be prepared, even for food.
😂 The worst is when you read it, get your heart set on something, then the menu is different when you get there! Glad I'm not the only one who does this.
nice hike, thanks for sharing your life and adventures
Thanks for watching 😊
Nothing to say only another awesome video 😘love from🇨🇮💚🍀😘
Aw you're the best, thank you! Hope you're well 😊
Looks so amazing! I need to get out and do things like this I’m so jealous
We've done some pretty incredible things all over the world but a free hike through some epic scenery is still up there with one of our fave things to do!
Beautiful views and food
Even better views and food in the vlog that just went live 😍
can you guys pls make a video on your love story how you met and all that if you dont mind. i think you both are the most connected and understanding of one another travel couple out there.
Aw that's a really nice idea, we will definitely add this idea to our list of future vids. Thanks for the suggestion 💕
Excellent vid. Nz is the best!!!!
Couldn't agree more!
I love NZ 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Us too! x
This hike was one of my highlights during my 3 months stay in 1998. The accomodation I stayed in was a lot impler and cheaper though!!!!
Hello
I bet! This is definitely a luxurious way to hike but we love it!
Yum,that Hapuka,second best Fish in NZ.
So good!
Lol watching this at Punga Cove sitting in the same cabin (4) you guys stayed in. About to check out restaurant in half an hour.
That picnic table (min 9:44) *thumbs up*
Amazing right!? 😊
Thankyou very much for sharing with us . Hello from Brazil !
Hello
Nice meeting you here lucelia💕💕💕
@@eugenej.leboeuf877 nice to meet you too
@@luceliaperalta5496 🥰🥰🥰
@@luceliaperalta5496 Hope you don't mind if we get to know more about our selves and see where it drift us to
Well this place certainly has the wow factor! Fine dining too. Yes I could live there... it would be a struggle - lovely people, wonderful food, amazing scenery, great wine, little or no pollution... yep a struggle ;) But I reckon I'd manage :D Lovely vlog!
Hello lulu💕💕💕🥰🥰
Nice meeting you here
Haha you're so right! When you put it like that.... sounds terrible 😂
@@DanegerAndStacey Hope you don't mind if we get to know more about our selves and see where it drift us to
I have two weeks time off to take by 12/31/21. Hope New Zealand opens for tourist by then
We've got our fingers crossed for you!
So Cool 👍🇨🇦
You're cool 😊
Next time , you guys really need to go to Mahana Lodge. It is an amazing place and is only 10 minutes from Punga Cove =)
Ooh good to know, thanks for the suggestion 😊
Oh, what a pleasure to wake up to this video. You both gave a really happy vibe to my morning with this beautiful video. Love you both ❤️❤️❤️
On a side note, are you gonna meet Jess and Stephen as they arrived in here?
Aww thank you! We love you right back ❤️ Yesss that's the plan, we're just figuring out where we can cross paths! Can't wait to meet Hunter!
So mad that we missed this area when we were in NZ last year. Even a month is not enough time to see everything 😢
A lot of people do! So true, its a place you could keep coming back to and still discover something new every time!
@@DanegerAndStacey just something else to add to our list for our return trip! 😍
Where do you get the maps that you use? Love your tripping around NZ videos, we will be coming over next year for about 5 weeks and we can’t wait.
I (Stacey) make the maps and animate them on my ipad pro 😊 Ohh so exciting, you're gonna have the best time
You should go to Havelock and do a kayaking tour :)
That sounds like a dream! Maybe in the summertime - we were hoping to do some kayaking/paddle boarding but the weather wasn't having it!
You really couldn't get much better than this,but like you guys,I only did a portion of the track,due mostly to time constraints,but would love to do the complete walk one day...maybe
We feel the same, it would be amazing to do all 70+kms!
@@DanegerAndStacey now that would be a series all unto itself,wouldn't it ?
Awesome guys. Looks gorgeous! The longer the walk the better. Such a nice "shnack" location en route. A question if I may. In your opinions, where is the nicest place to live in New Zealand North Island. Looking at it from a perspective of someone who is a lover of the outdoors, hiking, growing their own veggies, and dislikes intense humidity (in the sense that you don't have to watch out for mildew 😆), used to a fair amount of sunshine and yeah... ?
Anywhere near the coast around Coromandel,it has beaches and hills,with tracks all over the place. Or Taupo,Mt Doom is on the far end of there. Basically anywhere you go, you're never far from beaches or mountains in New Zealand. The bigger the city,the more it costs to live there.
I would add Matakana/ Warkworth with it's food markets and beaches (1 hour approx north of Auckland). Also Whangarei and the Tutukaka coast (2 - 3 hours north of Auckland). And maybe even Raglan a surf town 1 hour approx from Hamilton City. Or further up north like Kerikeri which is in the heart of the Bay of Islands ( 3 - 4 hours approx north of Auckland). Another goodie is Tauranga City and The Mount area, If in the South Island I would recommend Nelson City which is close to Moetueka/Golden bay/Kaiteriteri etc......
@@Toucan432 Thanks lol, so basically anywhere in NZ 😉. Honestly anywhere we get the opportunity to work and live will be more than perfect, but if we have a choice we decided a long time ago that just outside of Hamilton seems perfect, even though a lot of people say it is quite humid 🤷🏻♀️... . I doubt it is anywhere as humid as where we are currently.
Аmazing video!!!!lovelovelove🤗👍👍👍👍☀️☀️☀️☀️
lovelovelove this comment! Thank you!
Does this section involve any really steep bits? Easy walking?
It's all pretty easy walking to be honest, moderate hills but they're very short. NOTHING like Abel Tasman etc.
What brand of hiking shoes are you both wearing?
We're wearing The North Face (not sponsored or anything) we genuinely love them! So comfy!
Such a beautiful scenery around 😍 I might sound cheezy, but you are cute couple 😀
Not cheesy at all, that's so kind! Thank you 😊
😍😍
😊😊
