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

Our room was at the back of the property and was spacious and quiet with undercover parking. We used the guest laundry and only paid a small amount for the dryer. . Would choose to stay here again. Fast food places are a short walk and nicer restaurants a short drive.
