Tauranga Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Well, the last few days have been in short; uneventful.


The backward thinking T-bars earned us $2 more a bin but slowed us to over half our normal speed. so doing some complex math that my degree enables me to do. I calculated that within a 10% margin of error we were earning very little.


Aside from this lack ...

After Christmas we took a trip to Rotorua which was about an hour from where I was staying. The smell of bad eggs reached us before we got there. Steam was belching out from big and small geysers and there were areas of hot mud ( thats what it looked like). The main geyser erupted every 15 minutes of so and steam and hot water up to 15 m in the ...

All is well, I'm still in Tuaranga, still kiwi thinning, still not cycling but we are changing orc********** so hopefully I'll be able to cycle there. It's a crazy 25+ degree's here so feels very un-christmasy, it did rain this morning so its trying. There is still plenty of evidence of Christmas, in one store you can get a photograph of your pe...

I'm OK with activities that have a element of danger, I'm riding a pedal bike round New Zealand. I've gritted my teeth through road works so bumpy they make your brain rattle. I've struggled up hills whilst van skim my mirror - which enabled me to see them but did they see me? I've ridden everyday with the traffic round Hyde Park Corner whilst w...

We headed up to the Bay of Plenty hoping for some beach time! Tauranga is a really nice little city on the harbour that we stayed in for a night. There were a lot of nice resturants and bars on the street we were staying on. The best park was the view from the hostel we stayed in! The weather wasn't too good though...notice the huge storm clouds...

Since I began this trip, I haven't stayed more than two days in any one place. Today, though, I'm taking it easy and not doing anything except eating well and relaxing, two things that I really need right now. Auckland was a pretty nice city, but nothing too exotic. There are a TON of Asian people and restaurants there, so if I had more money I ...

22-Jan: It was raining the whole day yesterday, so I just remained in the hostel napping, watching the movie "Big Daddy" & reading. The internet here is expensive NZD6 per hour. So, guess I'll just type into my laptop & upload it when I go to Rotorua on 23-Jan (God-willingly). The weather forecast last night showed that a storm was movin...

HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH! So a slow start to the week, so slow that I spent the whole day in my pyjamas watching movies on the computer keeping myself warm and dry avoiding the rain in Auckland. But the next day I decided that I had to do the touristy thing and visit Auckland's Sky Tower at 328 meters tall it is the tallest tower in the Southe...

"It's a good country...the girls are honest." Although it's not entirely obvious, I can at times be rather charming. It was due to this alleged charm that Amy (my old boss) suggested that I go for a weekend away in Tauranga to party with her and a mate. This happened to coincide with the arrival of Mike (remember the son-of-a-***** I spent the f...
