24hr access to the hot springs with a swipe token, lots of space in the room. We had a chalet which had a hot tub in the back with loads of privacy and a mini fridge where we could keep our beverages. Continental breakfast was very good. Dinner at the restaurant was great too. Free parking right outside the chalet. A quick 20min drive from Hobbiton

Coming up 60 years since we first visited Whitianga, the milk factory was still in operation and now it's been turned into an excellent, informative museum. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around mercury bay on the Glass Bottom Boat, very informative and a must-do recommendation. We are definitely 80+ and found the boat was quite accessible for people who may be disabled Good to see cathedral Cove from the sea. Viewing schools of fish, Re and the sea-floor was much appreciated

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.

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
