Whitianga Motels - Reviews and Rates

Time to move on. I took the bus to Whitianga on a cold and miserable day. The hostel was right on the beach on another day it would be a wonderful setting but today it was just nice to be inside and watch the sea from the balcony. At Hot Water Beach at low tide people dig holes in the sand and before long scalding water seeps into the hole. To g...

Okie dokie... So alot has happened since the last entry. I am no longer lost and I am no longer in Whangarei, so by process of elimination you can assume I am no longer lost in Whangarei. I am actually staying at a hostel in Whitianga (pronounced "Fitianga") called "On the Beach Lodge". The name isn't decieving what-so-ever, in fact it is quite ...

Flew over Delhi at some point - totally amazing to see from the sky - its a huge city. This little English boy - i'd say he was only about 10 - seemed to be a bit of a geography ...

Our first day with the group who we were going to be heading South with. Our driver called Mar was a big Maori guy who was extremely chilled out but actually just enthusiastically challenged. On the way to Mercury Bay we stopped off at Hot water Beach. Danny and Joost (Dutch joker) bought their spades and started digging furiously for the suppos...

As we couldn't continue our stay in Tairua, due to a) the embarrassment of the drunkeness and b) everywhere was booked up we decided to jump on the bus to Whitianga and get accomodation when we arrived. We thought maybe the rush of Christmas/New Year would be over and so we'd be able to book in somewhere relatively easily, however this was not t...
