How close to a beach can we be (for my daughter especially!) it's not for any absolute decisions - but at least will give us a general idea about the place. I suppose we are tryi g to get a frame if reference - what can we compare it too - how can we sell it to the children - not that they need any selling - but maybe we have raised expectations too high? Might need a reality check!


My kids loved AKL but they are 4/6 so all my 6 yr old goes on about is how we went up the sky tower. I went to Piha beach 3 yrs ago and it is beautiful....
