The Langham is nice, I went to a conference there recently, and the Sky City Grand.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 19:19:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=396016&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#396016 <![CDATA[Campervan holiday up North... : If you go up Northland you may...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=396013&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#396013 Author: AngieBabe

If you go up Northland you may not have time to get to Tauranga too - well, you could but it would mean a heck of a lot of driving and not much stopping to smell the roses so to speak!

I loved Russell when I was a kid (had two family holidays there) - heaps to see if you're into historical stuff. I can't remember exactly where it is but I know next time I'm up far north I want to go see the massive Kauri, Tane Mahuta - you can use that idea if you want! ]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 19:18:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=396013&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#396013 <![CDATA[Campervan holiday up North... : cool, thanks for the suggestions...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=395907&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#395907 Author: emachan

cool, thanks for the suggestions so far.

We may even venture south of Auckland too, I was thinking of heading to Tauranga? What is there to do/see along the way?]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 17:26:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=395907&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#395907 <![CDATA[Campervan holiday up North... : If its your thing going to Waitangi...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=394066&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#394066 Author: mummy_becks

If its your thing going to Waitangi and have a look around up there. I would so love to do that as I am related to one of the chiefs that signed the treaty.

Orewa has a really good camping ground.

Mangawhai and Ruakaka, Omaha, Leigh, Fully recommend Matakana.

Citywise; how flash are you wanting to go? Theres Sky City, Heritage, Stamford Plaza, Hilton... If you don't want so flash you could look at places in Newmarket, In Greenlane/Ellerslie there is the Ibis.

I would suggest the Bay of Islands for up North.

Regarding the Auckland hotel, I love the Langham. We stayed their on our wedding night 4yrs ago and have managed to spend 2 anniversaries there as well. It can be pricey though. Check out wotif , they often have some great deals.

Have a wonderful time, and drive safe!]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 20:00:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=394055&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#394055 <![CDATA[Campervan holiday up North... : I have booked a campervan for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=393713&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#393713 Author: emachan

I have booked a campervan for 6 days in July for DH and I to take our final trip together pre-baby.

We're flying into Auckland and picking up a campervan (with toilet and shower, thank goodness!) and thinking of driving up Northland (as I haven't been there since I was 10!)

Any suggestions on places to visit, stay in the camper etc?

Also, we'll be spending 3 nights at the end of the trip in Auckland - any suggestions on nice hotels to stay? I'm thinking central city so we can use public transport to go places (and shopping for baby!!!)]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 11:39:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17582&PID=393713&title=campervan-holiday-up-north#393713
