Kia Ora tour March/April 2017 in New Zealand. Hike to the "Bridge to Nowhere"
So beautiful!
A magical spot in Whanganui National Park. So much history and stories to be told.
The Bridge-to-Nowhere is one of 3 sister bridges (the others are the Bridge-to-Somewhere and the Bridge-to-Elsewhere). We went to see it with the Bridge to nowhere tour guides. Absolutely brilliant! We chose to stay overnight in the lodge and could have stayed there forever

Lovely room, very nice spa bath. One light in the lounge wasn't working when we arrived but the bulb was replaced quickly. We also noticed the neon strip light above the bathroom mirror needed replacing but that didn't worry us and we simply reported it when we left
