Leaving New Plymouth we headed south on Hwy 3, on the east side of Mount Taranaki. Clouds were developing from the sea but we were still treated to great views of the volcano. Absolutely impressive. The east side also had great, flat meadows with many cows grazing. We stopped at "Stratford', which is Shakespeare influenced and has a clock tower. …
Hot water beach
So sure enough at 8.15 we boarded our bright green kiwi experience bus which would be basically our home for the next few weeks! To our horror however as we got on, out of the fifty available seats, there was no one else on board! - could be a lonely trip! - thankfully however the bust proceeded to pick up another 42 people the vast majority of which were British - and as the local guide pointed out 'Brits travel all the way round the world to spend time with Brits!' The bus set ...

Et nous y trouvons tout le nécessaire pour manger le midi et faire un bon petit ravitaillement en bouffe pour les prochains jours... Noodle Party!!!

After paying for our ...
Ha ha Hahei That's Hot
... I could have such bad luck!
Thankfully though I was sat almost at the back of the bus and she was practically on the drivers lap (he was called Trouble btw!) you know telling him which way to go and whatnot no doubt.

“ Amazing! ”
Reviewed Jan 18, 2010
I have stayed here a few times & I love this place. It's clean & modern, not too pricey. The pool is great & easily accessible from the rooms. It's close to the highway but not noisy at all & is a great distance from the beach.
Love this place!
