Rainforest route on a dirt road
Rainforest route on a dirt road
There’s nothing like the “lost road” in NZ. I was trying to take a short cut from Auckland to Rotorua and somehow got lost; alone in a camper van on an (mostly) unsealed marrow road that winded around a big mountain at 20-30km per hour... my heart pounded through my chest.... (Steep drop) the mountain views were breath taking. I didn’t want to leave the road! It was amazing! Next time I’ll take a free camper! Never without in NZ I learnt! An absolute MUST!!
Views from the Lost Road... one of the many stunning views

Room was clean and had all the amenities that you would need. The chairs in the room had broken legs but the manager was going to move us to another room but we got him just to replace the chairs, very apologetic and helpful
