Thermal spa in Rotorua - really nice experience very relaxing.

The site was well equipped - the wash rooms and kitchen were good however the site was quite small (pitches close together) and it was in a very residential area.

The van is good - really well equipped and straight forward to use.
The people we collected from (in Wellington) weren't that helpful and a couple of things int he van don't work properly.

You can wander around the Botanic gardens at the top of the cable car for free.
Lots of interesting native trees.

It seems quite expensive, but there is lots to see here, including experiencing Maori traditions and seeing the geysers and mud pools - really interesting.

Gloworm Caves at Waitomo.
AMAZING! Really good underground tubing experience and the glow worms were lovely. Lots of fun.

Very spectacular walk - volcanos and unique landscape and great views across to Lake Taupo.
However it very busy - lots and lots of people and the descent was very long.

Great spot, right next to Abel Tasman.
Good facilities and a shop and cafe across the road and right on the beach.
