What is your favourite place to stay in the Auckland area? |
Travel Info I'm living in Auckland City and looking for a nice weekend getaway spot. Say 3 or 4 hours drive away. Travel Tips Definitely the Sandspit Lodge, just above the estuary in Sandspit. Its about an hour north of Auckland city and is absolutely beautiful. The hosts are great but you have privacy if you want it, there's an outside hot tub on the deck and the sunsets are amazing. Plus they have a boat and Kayak's for guests use and when you arrive the fridge is stocked with bubbly and stuff for breakfast, so you really don't need to take anything apart from someone special. Bliss... Others I would absolutely recommend Raglan - great cafes, good surf beaches, and loads of different places to stay whether you're after a house to rent for the weekend, a motel, or a B&B. Fab! My recent weekend away : ) This place is great, good spot to get away from it all http://www.russellcottages.co.nz/... Matapouri beach, half hour east of Whangarei (3 hours north of Auckland) is a fantastic spot. The beach is picture perfect, the Fish & Chips at Ngunguru are yummy and it is a perfect place for a bit of R & R. A couple of hours north of Auckland is a place on the east coast called Mangawhai Heads. This is a recreation mecca with great options for fishing, boating, surfing and bush walks. The beaches are stunning and there are a couple of decent cafes and bars in the village that are worth a nudge. Waipu Cove is a great spot as well. It's a little further up North but worth the drive if you're looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy the beach. Summer is obviously better for the beach but Waipu is good all year round. |
