Taskmaster NZ comedian Guy Montgomery shares stories from his best Kiwi holidays.
What are your favourite memories from childhood family holidays in New Zealand?
My mum, dad, two sisters and our two dogs taking two weeks to drive around the perimeter of the South Island in a horse truck. I
have two very vivid memories from that trip. One was visiting the Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki and the other was Dad showing us vast expanses of bush while we drove and saying "If anything happens, you can always seek solace in the bush."
Where is your favourite off-the-beaten-track/secret spot to get away from it all?
At the risk of antagonising the locals by saying so publicly, Ōtaipango in Northland is the best beach in New Zealand. It is a short drive north of Houhora and it goes on forever. The water is the clearest I've seen in the world and the few times I've been there, anything over 20 other people qualifies as busy. Also on the drive up you'll see some lovely bits of bush that you could probably hide in if you had to.
