Travel recommendations

  • Low solar output (~0.9 kWh) — reduce power use or connect to shore power.
  • Wind is calm — safe to open the awning and leave it out overnight.
  • High condensation risk — ventilate before sleep and leave a small gap in the roof vent.
  • Air quality is excellent — windows open, enjoy fresh air.

Permanent restrictions imposed on freedom camping in Wānaka

The Queenstown Lakes District Council has made permanent restrictions on freedom camping at two hotspots in Wānaka. Camping is now prohibited at the Allenby Pl carpark at the foot of Mt Iron due to health and safety issues, including a narrow access way with limited visibility for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. The council also proposed banning camping at Beacon Point Rd during December and January. Three additional designated spaces were added at Wānaka Recreation Centre.

New motorhome park proposed on New Brighton red zone land

The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association (NZMCA) has applied to Christchurch City Council for a 10-year transitional lease of 5,000–10,000 sq m at 60–80 Owles Terrace, New Brighton, to accommodate up to 100 motorhomes and caravans. The site is on vacant red zoned land, previously affected by earthquakes. Basic amenities would include rubbish bins and potable water, with a possible wastewater dump station. The park would be restricted to NZMCA members in certified self-contained motorhomes and caravans, with a maximum stay of 10 days per 30-day period. Opening is optimistically targeted for summer 2026–2027, but more realistically late 2027 if resource consent is required.
