Happy and healthy: native bush, beautiful countryside with superb end-of-day / overnight comfort and cooking
Real Native - Walking Retreat的点评
点评:I took my three sons (22, 19 and 16) on this beautiful three day, two night walk, starting on Easter Monday. We had an easy drive down from Auckland the day before and stayed overnight in Te Awamutu so had only a short drive to the start of the walk on Easter Monday.
Surprisingly, we had the walk to ourselves - an experience which probably won’t last long given how good it is.
We loved the mix of native bush with a working farm and terrain and distances which require a reasonable level of fitness but aren’t (in my view) excessive.
The reward at the end of the day is the superb overnight accommodation - a “hub” kitchen and living area with lovely private huts around it: hot showers, soft towels and clean sheets complemented with delicious, freshly prepared food all magically await you. Your luggage is also in your room on arrival (you walk only with a day pack).
In summary, a perfect balance of getting away from it all and getting fitter on the one hand with luxury overnight comfort and cuisine on the other. And fresh, fresh air which you can literally “taste”.
We all felt rested, relaxed and healthier and had a real sense of achievement at having completed the walk and having shared something really special.
翻译:我带着三个儿子(22岁、19岁和16岁)参加了这次美妙的三天两夜徒步之旅,从复活节星期一开始。前一天我们从奥克兰轻松驱车前往,并在蒂阿瓦穆图过夜,所以复活节星期一到达徒步起点只需很短的车程。
令人惊喜的是,我们竟然独享了整条徒步路线——考虑到它的美好,这种体验恐怕不会持续太久。
我们非常喜欢沿途原生灌木丛与农场交相辉映的景色,以及既需要一定体能又不会过于艰辛(在我看来)的地形和距离。
一天徒步结束后,最令人欣喜的是绝佳的住宿——一个以厨房和起居室为中心、周围环绕着舒适私人小屋的“枢纽”:热水淋浴、柔软的毛巾和干净的床单,以及美味新鲜的食物,一切都已为您准备妥当。抵达时,您的行李也已放在房间内(您只需携带一个日用背包即可)。
总而言之,这次旅行完美地平衡了远离尘嚣、强身健体与奢华舒适的住宿和美食体验。还有清新无比的空气,仿佛触手可及。
我们都感到精神焕发、身心放松、身体更加健康,完成徒步旅行并分享这段难忘的经历,让我们倍感成就。
