Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

Noting for the record that Lily is at a relatively remote location so possibly on a SHV (though it's Lily so she might just have gone on a spontaneous solo road trip ).  Do any of our NZ members recognise where this is?  There don't seem to be many houses around.

Where ever it is it's gorgeous!

Agreed!  It's definitely in NZ IMO just not sure exactly where.  I wouldn't be surprised if Lily posted while on SHVs.  She did throughout her road trip with Courtney after the WG - we just didn't know he was with her (I thought it was her brother )

Also this might be totally reaching but Tom the photographer who works on both Bach/Bette AU and NZ is currently fishing with Art in a similar-looking location.  Wonder if they might have done some secret promo shots of Art/Lily/F1 along the way...?

It does look like a similar location. I'm trying to match the landscape in the rear view mirror but other than seeing that it's garbage day I can't tell.

What is the structure in Lily's pic? Obviously I'm not familiar with the area, would that be a house or maybe a well known point of interest?

( @ Art)

@GuardianAngel Yes it's a house.  When she panned round there were only a couple of other houses in view scattered around on the hills.  And when she was panning past the nearest house she sped up (which is why the screenshot is blurry) as if she didn't want to show too much of it.

Also the road lines were similar to the ones in the photographer's car mirror - but that may mean nothing if they all look like that in NZ.   I'm probably over thinking it, but I do think she'd post from her SHVs, and that house looks like a nice secluded spot to spend a couple of days...

It looks like Lily is on the West Coast as sun is setting . . . Piha Beach? Where as it looks like Art & Tom are on East Coast at sun rise . . . but still could be meeting for SHVs.
Lily's first photo looks like this rock formation in Piha

Look at that, thank you Bobette! Do we know if there is a boat ramp, and if it's a fishing beach? Now to find the SH!

I had a quick look at Air B&B's in the area and there's literally one called "Hotel Romantic Piha" which evoked an amusing mental image of TPTB saying "OK, we need to find a romantic hotel in Piha to send our couple for a SHV... *types into Google* AH HA!"... But the pics didn't match.    

It wouldn't be too hard to find IMO by crossmatching the position of the rock and searching Google street view, but they've probably moved on from there by now anyway.  Lily's recent IG postings are very tame compared to the usual trashy nights out with mates, which is interesting in itself IMO.

@Jordan44 wow look at you!

Just noting that Lily was at a wedding over the weekend with other girls from Zac's season.  She's so tanned!

ETA: According to Molly's post the wedding was in Hamilton (2.5 hrs from Piha) - so Piha still a potential SHV IMO.
