NEW ZEALAND WAIRARAPA COAST SNAPSHOT
Plenty of value to be found REAL ESTATE WISE in the WAIRARAPA district of New Zealand..House prices can be as low as 75k and climb into the Millions.GOOD RENTAL RENTAL YEILDS and a great community. Largely untapped gem locations.This DISTRICT is where a couple of FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD DIRECTORS have homes.About an hour over the hill from NEW ZEALANDS CAPITAL CITY..the Wairarapa enjoys temps up to and over 30 degrees centigrade sometimes in the summer and in the Winter the snow capped Tararua ranges are ever present. Its a twisting winding drive from Wellington that keeps many from this area..but this also helps to make the Wairarapa what it is...Its not a dirty city..its a lifestyle......Theres a DRAG CAR TRACK that hosts NATIONAL meets from time to time...theres the Wings over Wairarapa airshow ...Theres the world renowned 'Golden shears' shearing competition , I will post more of the various locales about the Wairarapa..some of the towns and fantastic views...Any questions feel free to ask...The information provided and video is for educational purposes . Video material filmed by me.
Discovering Wairarapa - Part 1
Mixing house sitting with living full time on the road means we have the best of both worlds. We get to explore areas that we would have previously just driven through, or not even detoured off the main route to spend time there. Wairarapa was no exception.
I'm the first to admit that the Wairarapa is one of the places that I'd previously just driven through to get from point A to B.Sure, I had visited some of the Wairarapa towns on the 'way through' to somewhere else without really researching the area and finding out exactly what there is on offer.
On our radar for this roadie is:
-Palliser Bay
-Lake Ferry/Onoke
-Ngawi Fishing Village
-Cape Palliser Lighthouse
-Fur Seal Colony
-Putangirua Pinnacles

Girls Weekend In The Wairarapa - New Zealand Adventure
This video is a really different one for my channel but I've just come back from the most amazing weekend away with some fab girls and wanted to share the highlights with you.
We visited the Wairarapa which is a popular New Zealand wine region and is located about an hours' drive from Wellington (which sits near the bottom of the North Island). With a population of a little over 43K people, the Wairarapa is a charming country town with loads to offer including wine tasting, delicious food and beautiful scenery. Big thanks to the team at Destination Wairarapa for arranging our trip and making sure we fitted as much in to our three days as possible.
I hope you enjoy watching this video even though it's a little bit different to my usual vids.
Thanks for watching.
