Kaikoura TOP 10 Holiday Park
Excellent facilities in communal, clean, warm carpeted rooms - large with baby toys which was brilliant for our 10 month old to crawl around in and play after a very long drive.
Pool too cold to use.

Abel Tasman Coast Track
Overestimation of time to complete given which was fine - said 2 1/2 hours - took 1 hour carrying 10 month old in backpack, but was tough uphills at times.
Lovely lush vegetation and gorgeous golden beach at end but bit long to wait for pick up with baby and no shelter or facilities till back.
