Goat Island Camping & Accommodation
1.0/5
great view - BUT: the facillities desperately needs some renovation / extension!
only 2 showers / toilets for this ammount of people is simply insufficient. lot of things were broken or not working, for example no hot water in the kitchen, toiletdoor could not be locked, etc. furthermore it was quite dirty, especially the shower was rather disgusting.
all in all not good value for money, which is a pity, cause the location is great!

North Island ▷ Wairarapa ▷ Masterton ▷
Eketahuna Motor Camp
5.0/5
one of the best campsites we've visited in NZ!
it's so cosy and calm, facillites were super clean and staff was lovely! great value for money! there is a river next by and a short, nice walk in the village. we really enjoyed our stay here :-)

North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Ohope ▷
Ohope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
4.5/5
a beautiful place to stay!
we had a powered site with absolute beachfront, which was great! i could imagine that its a bit noisy in other parts of the camp, as there were a lot of families with children. but it seems, that staff separates it a bit, which is creditable. generally staff was very friendly and helpful, we felt very comfortable!
some more / bigger facillities would be preferable, cause with this amount of guests, we mostly had to queue to do the dishes or to take a shower.

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
4.5/5
great hike in a very impressive scenery!
the walkway is long, but technical easy - pretty touristy (maybe a bit too much?) - but be aware from the weather! we started at sunshine and about 20 degrees and ended up on the tongariro summit in very stong wind and rain with about 5 degrees... unfortunately, due to a big cloud, we didn't have a good view, but the walk is impressive anyway. i hope i can do it again in better weather some day :-)

White Island Tours
4.5/5
although the trip is pretty expensive, its recommendable!
it is a unique experience to walk on an active volcano and we've been well guided; peejay-staff did a good job! and as bonus, we also saw dolfins during the boat-trip :-)

challenging, but rewarding!
when we climb a summit in our homecountry switzerland, we mostly see other summits from the top. here, we saw an ocean of clouds and only far, far away the summits of ruapehu and ngauruohe. felt like on top of the world, so amazing and impressive! pretty much the best experience during my whole NZ-journey :-)

we had diner in the orbit restaurant, which was very good, but not that cheap.
advantage: with the confirmation mail of your table-reservation, you get a free entry in the tower. view up there is amazing, especially during sunset!

2.5/5
some very impressive things to see, for example the champagne pool.
