Salam semua.....
Ramai yang bertanya tips mengembara / travel in campervan style di N.Z ni.. and memalui bacaan sy mereka2 yg travel ke n.z ni xramai yg story yg pkai campervan , so maklumat campervaning travel tu x lengkap, dats y maka sy story la serba sedikit mcm mana saya uruskan travel ni dr A-Z.semoga bermanafaat & spark some interest untuk semua.
1. Soalan pertama : plan sendiri ke ade tour guide?
J: plan sendiri2 je....based on my reasearch n readings .....yelah byk masa terluang masa berpantang aritu , kemain plan....ni detail my itinerary in details . Sebab sy seorg yg xsuke buat bende unplanned, jadi everything in minute details
****but somehow i think better jugak klau xplan in too detail n book for everything coz terkejar2 nk ikot plan n xley menikmati 1 place to another dengan betul2...but depends on individual choice...for me klau pg lg pon mmg kne plan betul klau x i will be too stressful nk piki..kalut n kelaut....
******** total for 6 person around RM 24k , around RM4k per person ....which boleh jimat lagi sebab byk jd over budget sebab yg tidak disangka2...boleh reduced to 3k
DAY 1-2 31.7 - 1.8.17
Tunggu depan hotel at 6.15 am nk naik shuttle ke domestic airport to board our plane to CHC (CHRISTCHURCH). masa ni lega sebb xde masalah lugage terlebih sebab da beli siap2 tambah ...
*** make sure amek lugage lebih sket jgn ngam2, bila ada masalah lugage terlebih berat n kne tamabh duit kt airport which is mahal lg mmg merosakkan mood
Sesampai CHC airport terus call APOLLO MOTORHOMES to pick up our campervan .
KENAPA PILIH CAMPERVAN ?
1. sebab xpernah lg travel pakai campervan ni, jd hajat di hati nk rasa pengalaman mengembara dengan campervan .
mula2 saya booked yg lain ( Britz kot xsalah) tp sebb x available dpt APOLLO ni,
knape ngan APOLLO?
APOLLO CAMPERVAN ni MAHAL, kategori LUXURY MOTORHOME, jd bila sy booked dpt harga $740 tu mcm hepi gila...xdela mahal sgt!
TAPI
terkejut beruk masa nk sign kontrak ngn dia tu die ckp ADE BOND (INSURANS $7500 , die akan deduct from CC) ..i was like...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
ade 2nd option, baya $540 for peace of mind, xde bond yg riban2 tu, n ade free gift dapat
- set meja & kerusi outdoor
- heater fan
- snow chain
kami pon wut to do, baya la tambah lg $540 ...which actually double up our budget for campervan, total RM4600 jugakla include diesel tax ( nanti cite kt bahagian minyak)
tapi campervan ni tetap best sebab besar n complete
yg kami pilih ni 6 BERTH CAMPER FOR 6 PEOPLE
- 3 TEMPAT TIDUR
- 2 TEMPAT MAKAN
- 3 STOVES KITCHEN
- OVEN
- MICROWAVE
- PETI AIS ( boleh tahan besar )
- TANDAS N SHOWER
- BUILT IN HEATER ( GAS )
- WATER HEATER ( GAS )
- AIR TANGKI (100 L )
- HEATER ( bhg depan driver je )
- AWNING
Camper ni mmg besar gila, mcm lori 3 tan.....kami pkai 2 drivers ( my hub n dad)
*** isu berkenaan campervan
1. dia explain HEATER kereta de 2 la, 1 yg heater fan ( need power) satu lg pkai gas punye , tp die x saran kan sgt kalau tidur malam continously on yg gas tu punye ...kne pkai powered jugak. and masalah ngn gas heater tu die on sekjap n off sendiri suke hati die...pening la kami mikiorkan nye apa pasal jd mcm tu...tp idakla gatal tgn p tepon company tu tnye cmne nk buat...rugi2.... sebb bila anta balik campervan ni kt dorg, kami komplen pasal heater tu die tgk fnction ok, barula die explain setting die kne tuka max or memane temperature yg kami nak...ikot kepanasan yg sedap, sebb bila da on, n da reach d desired temperature tu die akan off sendiri ( which die x explain ey ms dpt tu...hmm.....betapa kami kesejukan esp kt queenstown masa temp was -5 degree! smpai air pon turut beku! n we only have d small heater fan to warm us up...so sadddddddd
2. AIR KNE SELALU TOPUP, 100L bunyi cam byk tp bila masak buat basuh itu ini kejap je abes ..boleh topup kt mana pili air esp kalau camp memane ade dumping site biasenye ade pili air . boleh cari kt mana ada pili air dekat CAMPERMATE
3. DUMPING kne BUAT SENDIRI dekat DUMPING SITE ..bukan simpl buang merata2...ade 2 jenis dumping waste ( GREY WATER : AIR BASUHAN SINKI & SHOWER & BLACK / WASTE : AIR / NAJIS DR TANDAS )
macam mana nk CARI DUMPING SITE ?? gunakan CAMPERMATE ( download app ni , semua complete kt sini, boleh cr mana camp site sepnjg laluan / highway y korang lalu, camp site for SELF CONTAINED VEHICLE OR NON SELF CONTAINED VEHICLE
pe bende SELF CONTAINED CAMPERVAN tu?? nk cite sebb masa sy research mule2 pon blurrrrrr sebb xde org cite pasal campervan in detail.
self contained vehicle to campervan yg ade complete tandas & shower n sistem pembuangan die ...so die x membuang merata2 .
honestly, N.Z is camping friendly country with complete system....mana2 tempat ade sign boleh camp or x kt situ...tempat2 khas untuk campervan sebab besar ..kalau parking makan 2 parking depan belakang n kiri kanan !
4. CAMP SITE pon ada byk jenis , LOW COST , HIGH COST , FREE
- FREE SITE : XDE POWER ( xley pasang fan heater, xley plug in kalau nk charge segala yg kne charge , xley pkai microwave
- LOW COST : boleh pilih nk power ke x ..biasanya yg powered lg mahal sket , amenities kurang sket....kalau toilet tu xselesa sgt...xde hot shower, cold shower je ...dalam kebekuan winter tu ade hati nk cold shower? matilaaaaaaaaaaa......boleh la mandi dalam campervan tu sebb ade heater tp xpernah mandi pon dalam tu...sempit sket.. takat kencing okay la...or emergency membuang kalau xde tandas masa tu
- HIGH COST : usually private and die charge per head ...powered site lg mahal of coz , tp complete amenities : hot shower n toilet , kitchen n laundry n lounge ( tv area ), dumping site semua complete
4(a).nk pilih camp site yg mana ? depends on your trave plan, travel time.....
- selang2 high cost ngn free pon okay boleh jimat byk ...masa powered tu charge la semua bende..make sure bawak power bank byk...camera pon kalau boleh ade extra battery ...
4(b). nak book in advance siap2 ke main hentam je park memane
- i planned carefully my travel, xsuke bnd yg kelam kabut , kne meredah cr camp site yg sesuai plak
- depends on your travel time...kalau pg masa peak time ( spring / summer ) usually camp site ni penuh so better book awal2 untuk mengelakkan kne meredah cari camp site
- but for me kalau travel style mengembara mcm ni better xpaya booked in advance...sebb u terkejar2 nk pg ke tempt yg da book tu, n sebb this is my 1st time in N.Z i didnt know day time was so short , membataskan segala aktiviti kami ...terkejar2 from 1 destination to another . plus u akan byk stop along d way nk amek gamba la ( d view was magnificent!, xde tempat yg x cantik kt n.z ..rumput pon cantik! belum pg time spring....mesti lg cantik dgn bunga2 semua....wahhhh .....mcm nk kne ulang trip ni pg time spring plak )
5. MASAK dlm campervan....berasap sket bingit telinga dengan fire alarm tu ...dlm kedinginan tu bukak jugakla pintu bg asap keluar. plus bila masak dlm tu rs panas sket....yg best campervan ni , boleh berhenti memane tmpt parking ...n masak kalau nk la..so u can have your hot meal at any time ..n makan ikot cita rasa perut sendiri..provided mmg ko rajin n suke masak...kalau da malas tu lupekan jela ..tp masak mmg JIMAT BYK! masak n makan reramai sekali mmg boleh rapatkan bond with your travel partner .
6 : MINYAK : campervan pkai diesel. so murah sket compared petrol. sana pkai ron 91 ~ $1.90 se liter ..plg rendah pernah tgk $1.80..diesel biase nya $1.25 plg rendah $0.99 / liter .... melalui pembacaan sy mereka kata minyk murah dekt bandar2, tp bila sy dekt sana minyk dekt kawasan kmpung2 or small town lg murah compared big cities . sebaiknya masa travel tu biakan tangki penuh sebb nk drive jauh ( TOTAL PERJALANAN SAYA UNTUK SEMINGGU DI SOUTH N.Z = 1800 KM! ada pernah 2 hr drive 500km...hebat x hebat..kt Msia pon xpernah buat cenggini k)
diesel ade tax...$0.60 for every 100km ...so kami kne charge $120 untuk diesel tax...petrol sy xpasti
okay so lepas da dpt campervan kami pg shop groceries untuk seminggu tu ..shop di PAK N SAVE ..halal meat PLG MURAH compare dngan FRESHCHOICE , COUNTDOWN...
so on d first day tu da x ikot time table. lari sket lama sgt ms amek campervan n shopping brg2..biasala perempuan masuk supermarket mcm org gila pilih barang .
plan mlm tu bermalam di LAKE PEARSON . gelap gelita la jalan berbukit2 curam...nasib baik alhamdulillah smpai dengn selamat walau sesat juga .( FREE CAMPING MLM TU )
silap nya kami x fully use campermate tu...dlm campermate tu ade WHAT TO DO ..bnd2 yg best kt area situ la...tempat2 yg korg boleh pg n aktiviti2 yg best die rekemen...n terus boleh cr location dr campermate tu....die ade exact location.. jd make it your best buddy while u r travelling in N.Z!
so for 1st day , after dapat campervan ni terus pergi grocery shopping dekat PAK N SAVE , pergi balik Apollo branch coz xtaw nk operate d gas untuk masak and start to move follow our plan...to our campsite LAKE PEARSON FREE CAMPSITE .
DUGAAN : day time sgt singkat, kami gerak kol 4 camtu, by 5.30 da gelap and jalan dekat kawasan gunung2 n hilir bukit sgt mencabar esp in d dark. even so alhamdulillah selamat smpai ke lake pearson dalam kol 7 lebih . kat sana nampak satu yellow bus tengah park sana jugak, camping sana ....and mlm tu ade few cars dtg camp situ juga
Bangun pg, bukak pintu....MASYALLAH.......cantiknya subhanallah...gunung ganang, beautiful lake n sejuk yg amat..temperature pg tu -2 degree.
after breakfast n siap2 gerak ke Devil's punchbowl dekat Arthur's Pass . jauh jugak actually dr lake pearson to devil's punch bowl waterfall tu dlm sejam lebih ....berjalan panjat bukit k, bukan rendah2 punye bukit..hiking jugakla ...along d path up to d waterfall tu MMG CANTIK, mcm moses forest tp lg cantik!
sadly my hub hilang spec kt sini , which made d driving difficult esp at dusk to night .
then gerak ke atas balik , actual plan to lake pukaki ...camp over LAKE PUKAKI. nampak dalam peta cam dekat je, tp JAOHNYA YA RABB......actually kne divide halfway in between stay either at Geraldine or Fairlie sebb da dekat sket ...tp kami mlm tu camp dekat Mount Sommer's holiday park..amek yg powered site sebb bateri semua da kong...nk kne charge semua total mlm tu $ 88 ( =( )
tp hot shower unlimited + boleh laundry jugak..masalah dryer die rosak xmo mengering..stress! $4 for washing $4 for drying
sepanjang perjalanan memang disajikan dengan pemandangan super indah.....Masyallah .....sgt cantik..xtaw cmne nk describe.
berhenti sekejap di CASTLE HILL. castle hill ni kawasan yang ada batu2 kapur yg formed million of years, batu die bukan kecik2...besar gila...tp mls nk p jalan jau, amek gambar yg dekat 2 sket je.
perjalanan untuk hari ke 2...sebenarnya xikot plan..sebab plan asal nk camp dekat lake pukaki tapi perjalanan yg nampak dlm gogle ni bukan masa sebenar k? it took like forever to reach d destination . y?
1. campervan ni besar , bawak pon slow la dlm 70km/h
2. kol 10pg br gerak ( after masak, breakfast , amek2 gambar)
kol 11 lebih br smpai arthurs pass
kol 12.30 br settle turun bukit
kol 2 smpai castle hill, amek gambar, masak lunch n makan
kol 3 lebih br start gerak
kol 6 lebih baru smpai di mount sommers ....so xlarat nk teruskan perjalanan ke geraldine, jadi terpaksa berhenti and camp over .....
MOUNT SOMMERS HOLIDAY PARK , paid campsite , NZD 15pp(powered ), total NZD 88 for 5 adult + 1 child
tapi lengkap dengan good toilet & shower, kitchen & laundry tapi xde dumping site
laundry punye drier x kering elok ...kurang best
yg mutah sket ada, MOUNT SOMMERS DOMAIN tapi facilities kurang memuaskan..no hot showers
MOUNT SOMMERS - GERALDINE - FAIRLIE - LAKE TEKAPO - LAKE PUKAKI - MOUNT COOK - HOOKER'S VALLEY - ARROWTOWN (500KM )
disebabkan jadual y padat n mengejar masa sempat berhenti die 2 lakes tu sekejap je..terlupa nak cari church of sheppard tempat amek gmba yg feymes sebb cantik tu walau da aim nk pg situ awal, sebb x mark in d plan so langsung terlupe.next time!
tekapo spring mmg xsempat pg , nasib x baya awal!
HOOKER'S VALLEY , cantik tp jauh nya ya ampunnn...sebb kereta kne park dekat luar...dr luar nk masuk ke tempat masuk valley tu ada dlm 2km, n kne jalan jauh lg ke dalam valley, last2 give up .. from my reading die ckp 45minits walking, kami ni berjalan xsmpai2 da almost 2 jam...last2 patah balik sebb da nk malam..gelap da..n letih x ingat
masak megi sekejap alas perut n teruskan perjalanan ke ARROWTOWN ( sebb da baya sana, kalau x better park dekat mount cook tu je ...sebb da lewat n xlarat da , boleh spent time lama dekat mount cook...next time, next time )
perjalanan ke arrowtown tu lalu kawasan byk selekoh2 tajam, satu insiden abah termakan jalan ...n langgar divider jalan, nasib kereta kami je kat situ alhamdulilah selamat...fuhhh
byk juga kawasan yg terlepas visit sebb da mlm
- LINDIS PASS
-HIGH COUNTRY SALMON ( tempat makan salmon fresh) @ twizel omarama road
- CORMWELL OLD TOWN
sampai2 di Arrowtown Holiday Park da pukul 9 mlm...mkn sket2 n terus tidur ..
Arrowtown ni dekat dengan Queenstown, sebb saya pilih nk camp kt situ sebb nk spend time pg main salji esok nye dekat Coronet Peak , Queenstown ni tempat tingggiii2 area gunung2 ...so mmg SEJUK GILA! SUHU PG TU MINUS 5 DEGREE! beku kaki jalan atas lantai..smpai air dekt paip pon beku, dumping ( grey water ) pon beku punyela sejuk.....tp CANTIK!
settle morning routine, mandi, makan , siap2, dumping, da pukul 10pg! bandar ARROWTOWN ni mmg cantik esp masa FALL, pokok2 nya cantik...
terus ke CORONET PEAK main salji sebb situ free xya baya!ingat boleh main buat snowman...nyanyi2 lagu frozen tp coronet peak ni ramai gila manusia yg dtg mmg untuk main ski...jd terkuburlah harapan.
actually kt Arrowtown Holiday Park tu depan kami park mlm tu org Msia juga, 3 chinese ladies yg buat campervan travel jugak....3 org je pempuan drive! hebatttttt...sgt berani! salute la!
dorg pegi CADRONA SKI FARM, nmpak cam lg best xramai org sebb mmg untuk family2 dtg main ski buat snowman...tp berbayar $10 per person. n lokasi die 50km ke belakang . qt far for us ...dats y malas ke sana terus ke coronet peak .
spent time a bit amek2 gmba then turun ke SKYLINE GONDOLA DI QUEENSTOWN. tgk queenstown dr atas je . xsempat nk jalan2 kt sini sebb kejar masa nk drive ke Te Anau pula ...180KM
rasa rugi juga, byk aktiviti dekt queenstown x buat
- TSS ERNSLAW CRUISE & WALTER PEAK
- FERGBURGER
- STROLL ALONG WAIKATIPU LAKE
sampai di TE ANAU LAKE VIEW KIWI HOLIDAY PARK da senja , 5 pm, and hujan non stop, xboleh nk jalan2 dekat tasik ....
among all campsites, this campsite plg best , kami dpt site betul2 depan facilities, toilet n showers best , laundry pon best , kitchen n lounge pon nmpk best....cuma x masuk je xsempat...setel semua bende da letih n ngantok
DAY 7 6.8.17
TE ANAU - NUGGET LIGHT HOUSE - DUNEDINE - MOERAKI (500KM )
pg tu still hujan dekat Te Anau, mematikan hajat nk bergambar dekat tasik tu...rugiiiii...nasib la x beli tiket ke Milford Sound ....actually kalau x pegi ke milford sound xperlu la pg ke te anau tu, bazir masa n minyak....better spent more time dekt queenstown or boleh pg round cardrona snow farm, tapi disebabkan da bayar untuk te anau tu terpaksa la juga pergi....so lesson, plan kne betul2 lagi / xya book dlu tempt tidur sebb pkai campervan, kalau xde sgt tempat park je tempat free k?
pencapaian x banyak, sempat bergambar dekat light house tu je then bergegas ke moeraki pulak.
Dunedine? lalu je =( xsempat singgah sebab da nk malam
apa y best kat Dunedine ?
- TUNNEL BEACH
- BALDWIN ROAD
- CASTLE
plan nak tgk penguin dekat KATIKI light house dekat MOERAKI tp xsempat da malam, n mmg x la nk pg awal pg, nk bgun pon satu hal.
yang best dekat Moeraki Holiday park ni sebb menghadap laut!
free day, xde apa dlm jadual, xde book mana2 camp site , ingat nk pg balik dunedine tp xjadi, we go forward .
jalan2 depan campsite amek2 gamba2,
then pg MOERAKI BOULDER, tgk BATU BULAT2 , MOERAKI FOSSIL...
then straight up to OAMARU...sempat pergi ke
- OAMARU BLUE PENGUIN COLONY
- VICTORIA PRECINT & HARBOUR
then straight up, park dkat free camp site CAROLINE BAY ( tepi laut, x sesejuk kawasan gunung2 )
so sad, our road trip is ending
pergi balik ke CHC , visit :
- CHC uni
- museum (BESSSST & FREE)
- souvenir shop @ woodcraft gallery dekat area museum , tempat plg murah untuk beli brg2 .. magnet fridge baru $2 compared dekat skyline gondola $6
pukul 3 anta balik campervan tu d branch and pg airport ...masa ni bengang terlebih lugage kne bya $75 ..grrrr......
sesampai di Auckland , shuttle to Saint Martin waldorf Apartment kne $75 juga..haihhh.....
apartment best , sebb da lama ber camping dlm van, bila dpt tidur atas katil n different rooms it was so cozy n comfortable ...
pg amek kereta sewa awal2 pg....jumpa yg plg murah sewa dengan GO RENTAL, rupenye2 murah tu sebb sy salah isi time,ceitt....sebenanya mahal gila =( ade brochure yg lagi murah....almost RM 1000 for the car rental for 2 days
terus drive ke MATAMATA for hobbit tour ( 2j 30 min ) , hobbit tour BESSSSSSTTTT & AMAAAAAAZING. d scnary was tremendously beautiful ..tp sygnya dlm hujan...xpela..nak buat cmne
biskut choc dekat green dragon inn tu superb...tapau bawak balik smpai 2 ...$3 each,,besar gedabak
otw balik nak cari tempat sembahyang, jumpa masjid di Hamilton
before balik apartment , pg ke mount victoria view point tgk pemandangan auckland at night time
d truth, auckland xde ape sgt yg best
hari berakhirnya episod percutian kali ni
pg2 setel check out , pg melawat AUCKLAND WAR MEMORIAL MUSEUM,,, tapi xfree so amek gmba kt luar je , jakun sekejap tengk tandas dekt museum tu ( luar ) pintu slide mcm masuk lift ...wahhahaha
then ke HIGHWIC MANSION , berbayar juga, nothing much except old building
then terus ke airport seb nk setelkan lugage, nk tmbah lugage sebb mmg terlebih dr yg order awal... tp sgt keciwa xde airasia service desk kt airport ...pening pale tuhan saje tahu...online xdpt, live chat dengn staff nye ckp dorg xley buat ..apelaaaa....nasibla ada cadangan super bernas call hotline die..br setel..legaaaaaaaaaa.......
then br pulangkan kereta n return to airport...

soalan 2 : makan camane ?
jawapan : melalui bacaan saya byk je halal food kt n.z ni...sebab ramai malaysian sini ..ramai yg bekerja n student sini so mostly baca xde masalah...
tapi masalah nya kalau restaurant food sini mmg mahal, 1 meal can be NZD 30- 40 pp, so kalau pg ramai like us ( 6 of us ) then food expenses will be qt expensive.
so dats y sy decide untuk masak , n dats y pilih campervan juga..senang nk masak ...
byk y saya bwk dr Malaysia, 1 beg allocated for food only . nanti dekat bawah ada list of food yg boleh bwk masuk n xboleh bawak masuk ke nz.
NZ n Aussie punye imigresen mmg super ketat. our experience ritu untuk org y bawak food kne asingkan line, n beg kene cek geledah semua beg yg mana ada bawak brg...kalau ada bawak brg terlarang kne fine k....NZD400!! x 3.5 ...mmg ternganga nk baya..so jgn buat mcm2 ...yg xley bwk jgn di bawa..tok sah cr penyakit
*** buat 1 file , siap2 print semua boarding tickets, accomodations, rentals , list of food n medications
*** amalkan kalau pergi travel bawak emergency aid ...senang kalau ade kecederaan n simple2 meds

DAY 1-2 31.7 - 1.8.17
Untungnya bila naik flight tengah malam, naik terus tidur x ingat apa da especially untuk sesiapa ada anak kecik, disarankan amek flight masa waktu tidor dorang...xde pening nk mengejar deme2 itu...walau si Eryna Batrisya ni da byk kali naik flight, mesti ada tantrum dia..pening mommy! seb bek papa setia melayan karenah yang satu ini....
Baby?? xbawak beb....cuaca too extreme plus dengan his bad delivery history, lungs not that good to travel across the country with that extreme weather at such a young age, better off tinggal...jadi tinggal la Muhamad Rayyan di Somban....insyallah , ada rezeki mommy bawak jalan lagi!
yang x bes nye, ade international transit....kenela trun angkut hand lugage semua bagai p beratur kt imigresen gold coast....then nek balik...hmmm...satu kejaan turun naik...haih
sesampai di Auckland international airport mase tu awal lagi....dalam pukul 7pm sana rasanya ..x ingat tapi gulap gulita macam da tengah malam ...walau da book hotel untuk malam tu ( IBIS BUDGET AIRPORT HOTEL- plg dekat dengan airport ) jarak nye xde jauh mana , tapi nk pg hotel tu boleh naik airport shuttle...tp sebab mule2 xbiasa dengan keadaan di sana , jadi mmg terkial2 juga la....mereka kate shuttle yg lalu ke hotel tu nama nya BIG YELLOW BUS . jadinya kami ni pon duk tunggula bas kaler yellow, tp bila bas yellow ni sampai tu bukan bas yg lalu hotel tu...ah sudah! then bila jumpe bas tu bila tanya bus fare , dia ckp $6 per person. sebab kami berenam dalam $36 ..mahal la!
okei then kami piki y not tanya van2 shuttle kat tepi2 tu tengah que tunggu customer ...semua bagi rate $20 tapi semua xnak anta kami sane! sesungguhnya aku xfaham.....sampai ada driver die punye xnak anta kiteorg p hotel tu sanggup nk bg duit bg kiteorg nek bas! nape kan??
rupe2 nye sebab deme rugi kalau amek kiteorg ni sebb murah sgt bcos d distance from the airport to d hotel is too short, if dorg amek kami ni pastu kne que lg sekali...merugikan..hohoh...wat derrr..pahpe jela pakcik! fine! maka kami pon pasrah nek la d big yellow bus tu....tiket bas boleh beli kt bus stand tu...mesin beli tiket, ikot person sama je rate die . total $36 for 6 of us
*** tips 1: N.Z ni negara credit card friendly. semua bende boleh pakai c.c hatta mesin baya parking kete..jadi prepare c.c siap2 k?
*** tips 2: musim untuk travel tu kne pilih betul2....kami travel musim winter, day time mmg sgt pendek, kol 5.30 da gelap senja cam kol 8 kt M'sia , jadi bila bawak kete / campervan jd xpuas nk buat aktiviti byk. sekejap je siang da gelap gulita .
plus , nama pon winter, jd sejuk tu melampau la...walau towards d end of our trip my body already get used to d chill n coldness tp mmg sejuklan esp dekat Queenstown . bgun pg tu temperature was -5 degree!!! sejuk gila toksah cakap.....seb bek Rayyan x ikot! buat naya je ..sian die .
n bila travel dlm winter takot icy road ...so kne ade snow chain....tp kami xde pkai pon sepanjang road trip di South N.Z tu alhamdulillah....takotla kan drive kat bukit2 tu..tp syukur umur masih panjang,..boleh type panjang2 ni..baru day 1 eh....pnjg g cite..hehe
***tips 3: if travel low season x book hotel / camp site xpe sebb yg kosong bersepah...unless pg ms peak season br la prepare everythg....
***tips 4: use campermate as your bestfren.semua ade dlm tu, infact klau nk plan tu elok la bukk app tu plan nk g mn ...

okey berbalik kepada cite kite, sesudah smpai ke hotel , check in...its a family room, 1 queen size bed + 1 double decker RM 435 ++ for 1 night . hotel plg dekat dengan airport & murah ( antara lain y mahal2 tuuuu)..jadilah, nak duk tidur 1mlm je....
malam tu kami melantak maggi, masak dlm cerek air..hehehe...pg2 bgun untuk nek flight ke Christchurch plak...flight awal pg kol 8.30, so kol 6 kami da gerak pg ke airport.
DAY 3 2.8.17
Tunggu depan hotel at 6.15 am nk naik shuttle ke domestic airport to board our plane to CHC (CHRISTCHURCH). masa ni lega sebb xde masalah lugage terlebih sebab da beli siap2 tambah ...
*** make sure amek lugage lebih sket jgn ngam2, bila ada masalah lugage terlebih berat n kne tamabh duit kt airport which is mahal lg mmg merosakkan mood
Sesampai CHC airport terus call APOLLO MOTORHOMES to pick up our campervan .
KENAPA PILIH CAMPERVAN ?
1. sebab xpernah lg travel pakai campervan ni, jd hajat di hati nk rasa pengalaman mengembara dengan campervan .
mula2 saya booked yg lain ( Britz kot xsalah) tp sebb x available dpt APOLLO ni,
knape ngan APOLLO?
APOLLO CAMPERVAN ni MAHAL, kategori LUXURY MOTORHOME, jd bila sy booked dpt harga $740 tu mcm hepi gila...xdela mahal sgt!
TAPI
terkejut beruk masa nk sign kontrak ngn dia tu die ckp ADE BOND (INSURANS $7500 , die akan deduct from CC) ..i was like...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
ade 2nd option, baya $540 for peace of mind, xde bond yg riban2 tu, n ade free gift dapat
- set meja & kerusi outdoor
- heater fan
- snow chain
kami pon wut to do, baya la tambah lg $540 ...which actually double up our budget for campervan, total RM4600 jugakla include diesel tax ( nanti cite kt bahagian minyak)
tapi campervan ni tetap best sebab besar n complete
yg kami pilih ni 6 BERTH CAMPER FOR 6 PEOPLE
- 3 TEMPAT TIDUR
- 2 TEMPAT MAKAN
- 3 STOVES KITCHEN
- OVEN
- MICROWAVE
- PETI AIS ( boleh tahan besar )
- TANDAS N SHOWER
- BUILT IN HEATER ( GAS )
- WATER HEATER ( GAS )
- AIR TANGKI (100 L )
- HEATER ( bhg depan driver je )
- AWNING
Camper ni mmg besar gila, mcm lori 3 tan.....kami pkai 2 drivers ( my hub n dad)
 |
| driver cabin de heater |
 |
| sitting area cum bed at night |
 |
| dapur ade 3 stoves , 1 oven , 1 microwave, 1 petiais |
 |
| tv xley cucuk usb tp boleh masuk dvd |
 |
| sleep area upstairs, kabinet2 keliling boleh letak baju2..beg simpan tempt penyimpanan dekat bawah |
*** isu berkenaan campervan
1. dia explain HEATER kereta de 2 la, 1 yg heater fan ( need power) satu lg pkai gas punye , tp die x saran kan sgt kalau tidur malam continously on yg gas tu punye ...kne pkai powered jugak. and masalah ngn gas heater tu die on sekjap n off sendiri suke hati die...pening la kami mikiorkan nye apa pasal jd mcm tu...tp idakla gatal tgn p tepon company tu tnye cmne nk buat...rugi2.... sebb bila anta balik campervan ni kt dorg, kami komplen pasal heater tu die tgk fnction ok, barula die explain setting die kne tuka max or memane temperature yg kami nak...ikot kepanasan yg sedap, sebb bila da on, n da reach d desired temperature tu die akan off sendiri ( which die x explain ey ms dpt tu...hmm.....betapa kami kesejukan esp kt queenstown masa temp was -5 degree! smpai air pon turut beku! n we only have d small heater fan to warm us up...so sadddddddd
2. AIR KNE SELALU TOPUP, 100L bunyi cam byk tp bila masak buat basuh itu ini kejap je abes ..boleh topup kt mana pili air esp kalau camp memane ade dumping site biasenye ade pili air . boleh cari kt mana ada pili air dekat CAMPERMATE
3. DUMPING kne BUAT SENDIRI dekat DUMPING SITE ..bukan simpl buang merata2...ade 2 jenis dumping waste ( GREY WATER : AIR BASUHAN SINKI & SHOWER & BLACK / WASTE : AIR / NAJIS DR TANDAS )
macam mana nk CARI DUMPING SITE ?? gunakan CAMPERMATE ( download app ni , semua complete kt sini, boleh cr mana camp site sepnjg laluan / highway y korang lalu, camp site for SELF CONTAINED VEHICLE OR NON SELF CONTAINED VEHICLE
pe bende SELF CONTAINED CAMPERVAN tu?? nk cite sebb masa sy research mule2 pon blurrrrrr sebb xde org cite pasal campervan in detail.
self contained vehicle to campervan yg ade complete tandas & shower n sistem pembuangan die ...so die x membuang merata2 .
honestly, N.Z is camping friendly country with complete system....mana2 tempat ade sign boleh camp or x kt situ...tempat2 khas untuk campervan sebab besar ..kalau parking makan 2 parking depan belakang n kiri kanan !
4. CAMP SITE pon ada byk jenis , LOW COST , HIGH COST , FREE
- FREE SITE : XDE POWER ( xley pasang fan heater, xley plug in kalau nk charge segala yg kne charge , xley pkai microwave
- LOW COST : boleh pilih nk power ke x ..biasanya yg powered lg mahal sket , amenities kurang sket....kalau toilet tu xselesa sgt...xde hot shower, cold shower je ...dalam kebekuan winter tu ade hati nk cold shower? matilaaaaaaaaaaa......boleh la mandi dalam campervan tu sebb ade heater tp xpernah mandi pon dalam tu...sempit sket.. takat kencing okay la...or emergency membuang kalau xde tandas masa tu
- HIGH COST : usually private and die charge per head ...powered site lg mahal of coz , tp complete amenities : hot shower n toilet , kitchen n laundry n lounge ( tv area ), dumping site semua complete
4(a).nk pilih camp site yg mana ? depends on your trave plan, travel time.....
- selang2 high cost ngn free pon okay boleh jimat byk ...masa powered tu charge la semua bende..make sure bawak power bank byk...camera pon kalau boleh ade extra battery ...
4(b). nak book in advance siap2 ke main hentam je park memane
- i planned carefully my travel, xsuke bnd yg kelam kabut , kne meredah cr camp site yg sesuai plak
- depends on your travel time...kalau pg masa peak time ( spring / summer ) usually camp site ni penuh so better book awal2 untuk mengelakkan kne meredah cari camp site
- but for me kalau travel style mengembara mcm ni better xpaya booked in advance...sebb u terkejar2 nk pg ke tempt yg da book tu, n sebb this is my 1st time in N.Z i didnt know day time was so short , membataskan segala aktiviti kami ...terkejar2 from 1 destination to another . plus u akan byk stop along d way nk amek gamba la ( d view was magnificent!, xde tempat yg x cantik kt n.z ..rumput pon cantik! belum pg time spring....mesti lg cantik dgn bunga2 semua....wahhhh .....mcm nk kne ulang trip ni pg time spring plak )
5. MASAK dlm campervan....berasap sket bingit telinga dengan fire alarm tu ...dlm kedinginan tu bukak jugakla pintu bg asap keluar. plus bila masak dlm tu rs panas sket....yg best campervan ni , boleh berhenti memane tmpt parking ...n masak kalau nk la..so u can have your hot meal at any time ..n makan ikot cita rasa perut sendiri..provided mmg ko rajin n suke masak...kalau da malas tu lupekan jela ..tp masak mmg JIMAT BYK! masak n makan reramai sekali mmg boleh rapatkan bond with your travel partner .
6 : MINYAK : campervan pkai diesel. so murah sket compared petrol. sana pkai ron 91 ~ $1.90 se liter ..plg rendah pernah tgk $1.80..diesel biase nya $1.25 plg rendah $0.99 / liter .... melalui pembacaan sy mereka kata minyk murah dekt bandar2, tp bila sy dekt sana minyk dekt kawasan kmpung2 or small town lg murah compared big cities . sebaiknya masa travel tu biakan tangki penuh sebb nk drive jauh ( TOTAL PERJALANAN SAYA UNTUK SEMINGGU DI SOUTH N.Z = 1800 KM! ada pernah 2 hr drive 500km...hebat x hebat..kt Msia pon xpernah buat cenggini k)
diesel ade tax...$0.60 for every 100km ...so kami kne charge $120 untuk diesel tax...petrol sy xpasti
okay so lepas da dpt campervan kami pg shop groceries untuk seminggu tu ..shop di PAK N SAVE ..halal meat PLG MURAH compare dngan FRESHCHOICE , COUNTDOWN...
so on d first day tu da x ikot time table. lari sket lama sgt ms amek campervan n shopping brg2..biasala perempuan masuk supermarket mcm org gila pilih barang .
plan mlm tu bermalam di LAKE PEARSON . gelap gelita la jalan berbukit2 curam...nasib baik alhamdulillah smpai dengn selamat walau sesat juga .( FREE CAMPING MLM TU )
silap nya kami x fully use campermate tu...dlm campermate tu ade WHAT TO DO ..bnd2 yg best kt area situ la...tempat2 yg korg boleh pg n aktiviti2 yg best die rekemen...n terus boleh cr location dr campermate tu....die ade exact location.. jd make it your best buddy while u r travelling in N.Z!
so for 1st day , after dapat campervan ni terus pergi grocery shopping dekat PAK N SAVE , pergi balik Apollo branch coz xtaw nk operate d gas untuk masak and start to move follow our plan...to our campsite LAKE PEARSON FREE CAMPSITE .
DUGAAN : day time sgt singkat, kami gerak kol 4 camtu, by 5.30 da gelap and jalan dekat kawasan gunung2 n hilir bukit sgt mencabar esp in d dark. even so alhamdulillah selamat smpai ke lake pearson dalam kol 7 lebih . kat sana nampak satu yellow bus tengah park sana jugak, camping sana ....and mlm tu ade few cars dtg camp situ juga
 |
| 1st night meal : nasi + bbq drummet + salad + fresh fruit |
DAY 4 3.8.17
Bangun pg, bukak pintu....MASYALLAH.......cantiknya subhanallah...gunung ganang, beautiful lake n sejuk yg amat..temperature pg tu -2 degree.
 |
| breakfast : nasi goreng n sandwich sardin |
after breakfast n siap2 gerak ke Devil's punchbowl dekat Arthur's Pass . jauh jugak actually dr lake pearson to devil's punch bowl waterfall tu dlm sejam lebih ....berjalan panjat bukit k, bukan rendah2 punye bukit..hiking jugakla ...along d path up to d waterfall tu MMG CANTIK, mcm moses forest tp lg cantik!
sadly my hub hilang spec kt sini , which made d driving difficult esp at dusk to night .
then gerak ke atas balik , actual plan to lake pukaki ...camp over LAKE PUKAKI. nampak dalam peta cam dekat je, tp JAOHNYA YA RABB......actually kne divide halfway in between stay either at Geraldine or Fairlie sebb da dekat sket ...tp kami mlm tu camp dekat Mount Sommer's holiday park..amek yg powered site sebb bateri semua da kong...nk kne charge semua total mlm tu $ 88 ( =( )
tp hot shower unlimited + boleh laundry jugak..masalah dryer die rosak xmo mengering..stress! $4 for washing $4 for drying
sepanjang perjalanan memang disajikan dengan pemandangan super indah.....Masyallah .....sgt cantik..xtaw cmne nk describe.
berhenti sekejap di CASTLE HILL. castle hill ni kawasan yang ada batu2 kapur yg formed million of years, batu die bukan kecik2...besar gila...tp mls nk p jalan jau, amek gambar yg dekat 2 sket je.
perjalanan untuk hari ke 2...sebenarnya xikot plan..sebab plan asal nk camp dekat lake pukaki tapi perjalanan yg nampak dlm gogle ni bukan masa sebenar k? it took like forever to reach d destination . y?
1. campervan ni besar , bawak pon slow la dlm 70km/h
2. kol 10pg br gerak ( after masak, breakfast , amek2 gambar)
kol 11 lebih br smpai arthurs pass
kol 12.30 br settle turun bukit
kol 2 smpai castle hill, amek gambar, masak lunch n makan
kol 3 lebih br start gerak
kol 6 lebih baru smpai di mount sommers ....so xlarat nk teruskan perjalanan ke geraldine, jadi terpaksa berhenti and camp over .....
tapi lengkap dengan good toilet & shower, kitchen & laundry tapi xde dumping site
laundry punye drier x kering elok ...kurang best
yg mutah sket ada, MOUNT SOMMERS DOMAIN tapi facilities kurang memuaskan..no hot showers
 |
| laundry & kitchen |
 |
| camp site |
 |
| showers and toilet ...unlimited hot showers |
mount sommers domain ( ke bawah )
DAY 5 4.8.17
MOUNT SOMMERS - GERALDINE - FAIRLIE - LAKE TEKAPO - LAKE PUKAKI - MOUNT COOK - HOOKER'S VALLEY - ARROWTOWN (500KM )
disebabkan jadual y padat n mengejar masa sempat berhenti die 2 lakes tu sekejap je..terlupa nak cari church of sheppard tempat amek gmba yg feymes sebb cantik tu walau da aim nk pg situ awal, sebb x mark in d plan so langsung terlupe.next time!
 |
| otw to lake tekapo n pukaki, jumpa this farm barn cafe ..stop by for a coffee, must visit this place , cafe with magnificent view! |
tekapo spring mmg xsempat pg , nasib x baya awal!
HOOKER'S VALLEY , cantik tp jauh nya ya ampunnn...sebb kereta kne park dekat luar...dr luar nk masuk ke tempat masuk valley tu ada dlm 2km, n kne jalan jauh lg ke dalam valley, last2 give up .. from my reading die ckp 45minits walking, kami ni berjalan xsmpai2 da almost 2 jam...last2 patah balik sebb da nk malam..gelap da..n letih x ingat
masak megi sekejap alas perut n teruskan perjalanan ke ARROWTOWN ( sebb da baya sana, kalau x better park dekat mount cook tu je ...sebb da lewat n xlarat da , boleh spent time lama dekat mount cook...next time, next time )
perjalanan ke arrowtown tu lalu kawasan byk selekoh2 tajam, satu insiden abah termakan jalan ...n langgar divider jalan, nasib kereta kami je kat situ alhamdulilah selamat...fuhhh
byk juga kawasan yg terlepas visit sebb da mlm
- LINDIS PASS
-HIGH COUNTRY SALMON ( tempat makan salmon fresh) @ twizel omarama road
- CORMWELL OLD TOWN
 |
| lake tekapo |
 |
| lake pukaki |
sampai2 di Arrowtown Holiday Park da pukul 9 mlm...mkn sket2 n terus tidur ..
Arrowtown ni dekat dengan Queenstown, sebb saya pilih nk camp kt situ sebb nk spend time pg main salji esok nye dekat Coronet Peak , Queenstown ni tempat tingggiii2 area gunung2 ...so mmg SEJUK GILA! SUHU PG TU MINUS 5 DEGREE! beku kaki jalan atas lantai..smpai air dekt paip pon beku, dumping ( grey water ) pon beku punyela sejuk.....tp CANTIK!
 |
| dinner : ns + sardin+ salad |
DAY 6 5.8.17
settle morning routine, mandi, makan , siap2, dumping, da pukul 10pg! bandar ARROWTOWN ni mmg cantik esp masa FALL, pokok2 nya cantik...
terus ke CORONET PEAK main salji sebb situ free xya baya!ingat boleh main buat snowman...nyanyi2 lagu frozen tp coronet peak ni ramai gila manusia yg dtg mmg untuk main ski...jd terkuburlah harapan.
actually kt Arrowtown Holiday Park tu depan kami park mlm tu org Msia juga, 3 chinese ladies yg buat campervan travel jugak....3 org je pempuan drive! hebatttttt...sgt berani! salute la!
dorg pegi CADRONA SKI FARM, nmpak cam lg best xramai org sebb mmg untuk family2 dtg main ski buat snowman...tp berbayar $10 per person. n lokasi die 50km ke belakang . qt far for us ...dats y malas ke sana terus ke coronet peak .
spent time a bit amek2 gmba then turun ke SKYLINE GONDOLA DI QUEENSTOWN. tgk queenstown dr atas je . xsempat nk jalan2 kt sini sebb kejar masa nk drive ke Te Anau pula ...180KM
rasa rugi juga, byk aktiviti dekt queenstown x buat
- TSS ERNSLAW CRUISE & WALTER PEAK
- FERGBURGER
- STROLL ALONG WAIKATIPU LAKE
sampai di TE ANAU LAKE VIEW KIWI HOLIDAY PARK da senja , 5 pm, and hujan non stop, xboleh nk jalan2 dekat tasik ....
among all campsites, this campsite plg best , kami dpt site betul2 depan facilities, toilet n showers best , laundry pon best , kitchen n lounge pon nmpk best....cuma x masuk je xsempat...setel semua bende da letih n ngantok
 |
| met 3 fellow Malaysian girls who r travelling campervaning on their own! u go girls! super berani |

| skyline gondola queenstown |
 |
| lake wakatipu |

DAY 7 6.8.17
TE ANAU - NUGGET LIGHT HOUSE - DUNEDINE - MOERAKI (500KM )
pg tu still hujan dekat Te Anau, mematikan hajat nk bergambar dekat tasik tu...rugiiiii...nasib la x beli tiket ke Milford Sound ....actually kalau x pegi ke milford sound xperlu la pg ke te anau tu, bazir masa n minyak....better spent more time dekt queenstown or boleh pg round cardrona snow farm, tapi disebabkan da bayar untuk te anau tu terpaksa la juga pergi....so lesson, plan kne betul2 lagi / xya book dlu tempt tidur sebb pkai campervan, kalau xde sgt tempat park je tempat free k?
pencapaian x banyak, sempat bergambar dekat light house tu je then bergegas ke moeraki pulak.
Dunedine? lalu je =( xsempat singgah sebab da nk malam
