Three day getaways
It’s time to get away, New Zealand! Freedom has come just in time for Queen’s Birthday this weekend, and what an epic opportunity to hit the road for a mini holiday. Whether you’re out to see a new place you’ve never been, or keen to take friends, family and kids back to an old favourite hot spot, get yourself a home on wheels, and do it. It’s time to explore the beautiful cities and landscapes right on our doorstep. Check out our top picks for Rotorua & the Bay of Plenty road trips below.
-
Head to Waihi for breakfast at Flat White Cafe on the beach, then pack a picnic lunch and walk around to Orokawa Bay for an afternoon on this almost-private beach.
-
Stop at Mount Maunganui for beautiful, laid back beach town vibes. Enjoy the amazing cafes, fill your lungs with fresh air and get the endorphins pumping with a walk up - or around - Mount Maunganui.
-
Head to the sunshine capital of the Bay of Plenty, Whakatane.
-
Walk the spectacular tracks of the sparkling Waioeka Gorge.
-
Take a whiff of the infamous sulphur-rich air of Rotorua. Check out the boiling, bubbling mud pools, shooting geysers and natural hot springs and absorb our fascinating Maori culture.
