Arguably one of my favourite cities in the world. Perfect mix of nature (beaches, mountains, hiking) and adventure and food!

Hot take: NOT worth it. Was it pretty? YES!! But the drive is longgggg (you will need to add an extra 2-3 days to whatever trip you have planned), the food is wildly expensive, the sand flies are torturous, and there's no cell service or wifi
Milford Sound / Piopiotahi
