Apollo Motorhome Holidays
Mechanically reliable vans, but domestic maintenance is not very good.
I suspect the additional insurance is at least partly a scam to inflate profits. They were very helpful on the phone when our water heater failed to work and got us going again.

Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway North Entrance
A fairly easy, well maintained walkway leads you through an open landscape with many wide views of the sea and great aerial views of seals on the rocks beneath.

North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Whangarei ▷
Abbey Caves
Great to be able to visit the caves without paying for a tour.
You do need torches and you will have to wade through water but the atmosphere, rocks and glowworms are worth it.

Pororari River Track
Lovely, quite easy riverside walk amongst the tree ferns with a few openings to view the other side of the river.

Napier Art Deco Self-Guided Walk
If you like Art Deco, this is great: a compact area of three streets gives you so many examples of the architectural features and lettering that characterise this 1930's style - very well maintained
too.

Te Mata Park
Pick a day with good visibility and this moderately strenuous walk is well worth it for the panoramic views at the top.
Lots of coach parties but it is easy to keep clear of them.
