The Kauri Museum
5.0/5
My husband and I visited this year in January.
We arrived in our 7 metre Nissan Bus - plenty of parking and a turning point at the end of the road. The Kauri Museum was amazing - we couldnt believe how great it was. We have visited many over the years and whoopee!! here this Museum was, tucked away. The historical collection of the show-cases, beautifully done (even we, could relate to what our grand-parents had in their homes, memories galore), the stories you could read on the wall or through dvd's and equipment of so much donated history by families. Machinery that was going or working just for you personally 'by a push of the button' . A gift shop with reasonably priced gifts to buy and very clean and plenty of toilets which are a must
when travelling through. The Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. This is certainly an icon for New Zealand and I was surprised in our travels up North that travellers and visitors to N.Z. had not heard of it.... come-on!! go and see for your selves.. you won't be disappointed.

Whangateau Holiday Park
5.0/5
My husband and I visited in our 7 metre Nissan Bus to the Whangateau Holiday Park.
Wow!! what a change in the place (we visited and had many tent holidays here 25 years ago, with family). The faciilites were amazing, clean and well cared for, from early in the morning until late in the evening. Plenty of hot showers, clean kitchen if you needed and room to move between each site. We stayed on the waters edge which brought back many memories for us with our children many years ago. If you want to stop over for one night or several - this is the Holiday Park to be at. Plenty to do and visit and the Managers were most helpful. We will be back...
We would and will recommend this Holiday Park to friends and people of the Motor assoc who have Campervans, Buses, etc...... We will be back.....
