Napier Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Hic, Hic, Hic!!!! Left Rotorua Wednesday morning for Taupo. During the journey stopped off at Orakei Korako - Hidden Valley, which is a thermal area accessed by boat and where Walking with Dinosaurs was filmed. Very HOT and numerous steps. You think Gillian is accident prone - Janice did a free fall/unscheduled bungy whilst going down into a cav...

We waved bye bye to South Island today. We were quite sad because we really liked it there, but then pretty soon I was waving hello to Wellington again! On the way to the ferry we had travelled on a horrible bus. It was small and cramped and VERY bumpy and rattly ... It was also full of miserable and sulky teenagers, they all needed a good biffi...

A quick escape from the capital city and we're on our way into more wine country that we couldn't resist visiting, it's also home to some maori activity, art deco buildings and beaches. In this region we managed to stay in some unusual backpackers, a prison and a convent. The prison has hardly changed from when it was in use with "real" criminal...

I've begun heading north back up towards Auckland so I can explore the north of the north island and work my way back down. The plan isn't to see or do too much so I didn't really see too many sights on the way to Napier. I'm also not really sure there were too many anyway, the north island isn't really as nice to look at. No mountains, just lot...

Well, it had to be done...another wine tour! This time though it turned out that we were the only members of the tour group and were being chauffered around in style in a big bus just for us. Could have been disastrous but thankfully the first stop proved otherwise. Being just on our own we got larger samples and more of them. We were really get...

Ok, so on March 2nd I was 30. Yes it was scary, and yes I do feel old and yes I realise I'm now in my 4th decade and I'm closer to 40 than I am to 20. I am doing this blog entry not because I thought it was important enough for one but just to let you guys at home know just how much effort the people I'm travelling with went to make the day as s...

With a bit of spare time on our hands we decided to venture east for a brief stop over in Napier. This art deco town was a quaint little place. Although the stop was brief we had our first taste of golf...crazy golf that is.

Yo babies, Here we are again, you wouldn't believe how long it takes to do these travel logs! We'll see how well I can keep up when classes start getting busy. Anyway, I went to Napier this weekend on a farm home stay with my study abroad program. It was me and 3 other kids from the states. We stayed at Te Puna Farm with Sarah and Tony, and real...

Mon 13th Feb...... Last night when we got off the ferry we drove to Moana Lodge (our BBH for the night) in a place called Plimmerton - this is on the west coast 20 mins. north of Wellington - it has a 94% satisfaction rate in the book and has a beautiful beachfront location It was the most luxurious place we stayed in and was immaculately kept. ...
