    Holiday suggestions?

    Ok KB, where to? Going to take off for a short oliday very shortly, can only sneak away for 3 days so where to? Obviously a shortish driving distance would be preferred.


    Suggestions please?
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    This time of year Rotorua is a good call, loads to do and see, the I centre can get you a room with your own spa pool (not bath) for peanuts. Quad biking, tramping and all the usual smelly sights.
    Oh bugger

    Yeah that's one possibility

    www.wotif.com is also a good source of bargain deals for accommodation

    I have no idea where you live, but I'd recommend the Coromandel - we were there last month and it was just perfect. Or what about the Bay of Islands?

    It depends on what you like doing - Wellington is good for a short break and the Monet exhibition is on until 17 May.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    I hear there is a lovely place in Palmerston North that doesn't allow any riffraff...assuming of course that you aren't one.

    Taradise = our location.

    Yeah Coromandel is awesome, love it there. Any suggestions on where to stay? Want something nice, with a spa in the room preferred. Probably not much outside of Whitianga like that? Will ave a sniff around a bit on that one

    She just came back from Wellington, went to see the Monet exhibition.

    Not sure how much accommodation would be (maybe a little excessive) but I stayed in Pauanui over the summer and it was pretty cool! Mini golf, a little theatre, beautiful beach, the hill you climb up for incredible views...
    Not as far up as whitianga either.

    No worries

    It was a bit wanky when I was there, kids with there trust funds, driving daddy's fancy car (not to mention trophy wives haha), but I think now summer is gone you wont see so much of that and it would be very chilled out and still a lot warmer than this end of the country!

    Yeah neither of us are into that crap but at the end of the day, that doesn't really effect me, just don't pay any attention or buy into it.

    We stayed at Puka Park Resort but wouldn't recommend that - not because it wasn't lovely (it was) but because it cost $1000 for the two nights! NO, we did not pay for it ourselves, I won the weekend away but a few days later they managed to charge it to our credit card (refunded TWO weeks later) so we know how much two nights' accommodation for two, two breakfasts, two lunches, one dinner and two massages cost!

    Never heard of Taradise - assume by Googling that it's Taranaki?
