Whangarei Motels - Reviews and Rates

Well another month and another show has passed. I could tell you about the show, I could tell you about the strange excited customers, the boxes of stock and the random old hardware store were selling in but its basically 'same stuff, different town'.

We definitely saved the best for last! After watching the lion man on tv for months we couldn't wait to visit his Zion wildlife gardens in Kamo, Whangarei. What a gorgeous place. The animals are cared for by amazing people and their hard work has paid off, they've got a park to be really proud of.

Poor Knights Island, named after Capt Cook's breakfast that morning (I guess there's some sort of poor knight's pudding?), is one of Jacques Cousteau's top 10 dive sites in the world.
