America has been driving up prices in NZ for years. I remember when I first went to Raglan the amount of boomer Californians buying into the area was massive. Wanaka and Lake Hawea are the hotspots for Tech millionaires, most of the farms around there are owned by Silicon Valley mobs. Mark Z has a farm there as does Bezos, the twitter guys, Linkedin founders, Paypal guys, Netscape Founders etc.

 

Perfect prepper doomsday location as it's just been proven.

Not sure why you'd really run to bunker in NZ... If you've got a decent rural block of land then you're pretty isolated as it is! Couple of my mates in that Hawea / Arrow town / Wanaka / Cardrona area and up top of north island have barely registered that anything is going on in the outside world as it is!

That is a good call, I'd not even thought about checking the accom' favs list.

Hopefully they are still in business in a few months ....

Dirt Merchant wee selling 210mm 1up dropper posts for around R2k that was a great price.

You’d have to check any refund policy pretty well. There are some deals on there and some valid to December. The R19k to R3k Kruger one looks the winner but it’s a gamble if we’ll be moving by end August.

Anyone whos been to Witsieshoek would probably have received this mail already. Anyone who hasn't been should give it a look. Far from luxury, but easily one of the most stunning landscapes in the country. Its a great little spot.

 

You pay a 'donation' now and receive a voucher worth more than you gave to be redeemed any time within 2 years I think it is.

Assos bibs at CWC were quite a good bargain assuming Ideon doesn't end up getting them...

...or that they are like new, just lightly used. LOL

Paid R15k for it and picked it up the day before lockdown, loving it since.

New.? That is a bargain.!

At the risk of spamming, or violating rules (I have a thread for this going on in the site sponsor section.)

 

We are offering 4 Day MTB trips during lockdown level3 (all above board, permits issued etc) the last one is in two weeks time, and we still have a handful of spots available. Details here: https://adventurelogistics.co.za/zululand-wild-ride/

 

We are also offering 20% discount on all our other trips (scheduled for post lockdown) and a further 10% off for hub members if you use "hub10" promo code on checkout.
