Mount / Mt Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park

Great location at the base of Mt Maunganui.
Right on the beach and only a few minutes from restaurants. Well equipped camp kitchen (probably the best!!), good amenties. Try to get a site on the beachside.

Classic Sheepskins
3.0/5
Not a 'must do' but if you have 20 mins spare in Napier then this is an interesting thing to do.
You get a tour throgh the whole process - from raw sheepskin to the end product - the wool.

Waitomo Adventures Ltd
4.5/5
Lost World 100m abseil - great experience, good way of exploring the cave as you abseil first, then climb through the cave and then climb a 30m ladder.
Other tours available too, not affordable for everyone but you get what you pay for - it's worth it!

Interislander Ferry
4.5/5
Much nicer than a flight as it isn't just a normal ferry crossing, it's more a scenic cruise as you go through the marlborough sounds - beautiful.

Maitai Bay Campsite

very nice spot right above a twin bay.
Nice scenery and beautiful sunset. DOC campgrounds in general are a good way to stay overnight. In the middle of nature and many have beatiful scenery.
