Location is secluded. Unit is split level upstairs - neighbors share a carport. Gorgeous views. Love the large balcony deck - would love an umbrella. Kitchen was big, well-supplied and convenient to use. Bathroom is on the smaller side but no issues. Furniture and fixtures are older but functional. Hands down, the gorgeous view is the winner

Fantastic place to visit and stay. Victoria's Kitchen make the most amazing plum and custard or rhubarb and custard shortcake and have very friendly and helpful staff. Dixie Browns and Cafe Baku are also among our favourite eating places along with Thai Delight and the roast shop.

Please go the Hamilton Gardens - even if you don't have green fingers - its not that kind of garden. Its art! It's different cultures and ways of living. We had an excellent time, and the prices were reasonable. Seemed to be lots of activity in Hamilton itself and the eateries on Grey St were great!

I've always liked Turangi.

I've always liked Turangi. It has a lot to offer both in the town itself as well as the greater region. The shopping center is well laid out and provides everything you need including ample parking. There are takeaway and dining options to please most people. The New Word supermarket is well stocked and the staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Accommodation options cover every budget. Nearby Tokannu has great hot pools and a picturesque wharf. Omori is a lovely quiet lakeside village only a 15 minute drive from Turangi. Check out the rabbits on the lakeside grass reserves from late afternoon. The lost lagoon at nearby Kuratau Junction is well worth a visit with crystal clear water. Nature and scenery abound in and around Turangi. Well worth stopping rather than just passing through.

A long, sweeping beach excellent for swimming / sun bathing.

A long, sweeping beach excellent for swimming / sun bathing. The marina area has a great busy vibe, with boats, cafes and walking paths. The downtown village area has everything you need, and posesses and a really relaxed Kiwi seaside charm. The beauty of Whitianga is apart from its own beach, you're in easy reach (with a car) of numerous other stunning beaches. Cooks beach is just a ferry ride and short walk away as well. We visited / swam at five beaches in six days.

Raglan is a lovely beach town. It’s fun to walk around and look at the shops. Lots of great food options in town. There are great day trips from there, too! Kawhia Hot Water Beach was awesome! Bridal Veil Falls cannot be missed. Te Toto Lookout is a wild drive but the view is incredible.

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point

Our tour of the Ruakura cave was great. Our tour guide held the kids' attention the entire way and answered all of their questions. The caves are amazing to see and this walking tour is just the right length, even for young kids. Don't forget to book ahead and take a warm top as it is quite chilly down there.
