Paihia Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Wednesday 19 November, 8.38pm, the wifi room This sunburn business is getting beyond a bloody joke now. I have burnt hands. BURNT HANDS, people. I have lines on my chest from my necklace! I am having actual fantasies about my lovely pot of aqueous cream, which I think is currently carelessly thrown somewhere in a bag at my dad's. I would crawl o...

Bay of Islands Tuesday 26th August Set off for The Bay of Islands this morning arriving at Paihia in the drizzle around 2pm, found a local carpark and set up camp for the evening. We decided against a boat trip due to the weather and low chance of swimming with dolphins. So instead we just look around and read in the van, before preparing our f...

Been swimming with dolphins here... also saw a humpback whale and fur seals. Weather is warm and sunny, but the sea is cool...no cold! Scenery is sub tropical. We have also visited Whitianga Treaty Ground - where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed with the Maoris.

Hey everyone Hope you are all well?? Keep the emails coming, it's so great to hear from you all and about what you're all up to. It's another hugely long update I'm afraid so apologies in advance if I bore you to tears! I did my first 'proper' trip last week, up to the north of the North Island to the Bay of Islands. I booked a '3 Day Adventure'...

So, first stop out of Auckland was up to the beautiful bay of islands ... We had a great couple of days looking around this area and doing a bit of walking in between the showers. We also stayed at a backpackers just out of town up near a waterfall which was good, but weirdly completely empty apart from the two of us. Needless to say it was very...

very quick entry - went to Paihia with crazy Nance at the helm, called at some rather strange toilets on the way, designed by Austrian Friedrich Hundertwasser at the request of the people of Kawakawa, the place he had made his home in since the 1970s. Then to Whangarei Falls where mad kids were swinging at the top of it. Paihia is the site of th...

Na vijf dagen relaxen in Auckland op naar de "Bay of Islands"

Tan monitor: Likely to get a lot better

Well today I got up super early. Partly because I wanted to make the most of my time in New Zealand but more that I was desperate to get out of my rank hostel. Two French girls, sharing many of the stereotypes of their compatriates, returned at an ungodly hour and proceeded to construct a bunker in...

I woke up with the worms never mind the birds today, I have no idea why as yesterday was a long day. I ask the lady at the front desk where I could find a place to have breakfast and she recommended a café down at the harbor but it didn't open till 7am. So at 7am off I went and had a lovely meal overlooking the bay. I had a wonder around the sti...
