Hello! We're entering our third week in NZ already! It's been a fabulous vacation so far! We've been up for a short spell in the Northland and a lovely 4 day weekend in the Waikato already!
We'll be heading out to Coromandel and possibly Tauranga this weekend. Looking for inexpensive accomodations, and things to do for the kids, though, two days on the beach would suit the kids just fine as well! Any recommendations on beaches? Inexpensive hotels that don't shut down so close to Christmas?
Also, in the first week of January, we'll be heading down to Wellington. Driving! (Yes, I'm nuts!) Any good places to stay with kids in Welly? Any must-sees?
Any good places to spend New Years? We've already been invited to a hangi for Christmas day. Now to fill up the New Year slot!
Thanks for the help!
-Richard, Lucy, and Family!
