7th Day New Zealand Road Trip
Hot Water Beach - Hahei Explorer
Yesterday we arrive in hot water beach near sunset, we had less time to enjoyed beautiful sunset from the hotel but we dont have time to go hot water beach. This is the first time we stay at holiday park at new zealand, but top 10 hot water beach holiday park make me and my family love holiday park to stay over night. Maybe we can't found the hotel designed like the holiday park in new zealand, especially top 10 hot water beach. This holiday park serve from the backpacker traveller with backpacker lodge or use your own tent until the comfort and luxury room. This park also have equipped facilities for communal use, like laundry room, sky tv room, kitchen , and shop that you can load your grocery.
This park is very quiet, and we through the night with enjoyed the clear skies and star is very stunning. This park also so close with hot water beach, so you can find your best place to dig your pool early. We get advice from the holiday park staff to check the low and high tide before go to hot water beach. And the best time is around two hour before and after low tide time. I checked over the internet the low tide time for this day is 5:06 and 17:25. We already rent spade from the hotel last night and we go to beach near the sunrise.
There are no sign to find the best spot to dig your own pool, first it's make me confuse. Luckily we arrive before other tourist arrive so we can dig at many point. When the many tourist arrive it's look like the dig competition. and more difficult find best place to dig when arrive near the high tide.
Hot Water Beach is unique and amazing destination, although this beach not too big but hot water from the beach is amazing, confusion when find the spot to dig, dig competition with other tourist is complete to make the warm situation at the beach.
After back from the beach, we make own breakfast, we try to use BBQ facilities and outdoor dining area. At my itinerary this day we go to matamata to see hobbitton movie set. But after consider many reason, after breakfast time is 10am, hobbitton set is 3hours drive from hot water beach, we too tired and we still want to enjoy this unique room at top 10 hot water beach holiday park, we change my itinerary for stay one night again in this hotel.
At first, for this day we make plan just rest and enjoy this holiday park, but at the park shop we read brochure about hahei explorer scenic, one hour tour with boat to see famous cathedral cove where narnia was filmed, coastal islands of the marine reserve. And its only 10 minutes from hot water beach.
Yesterday this tour unplanned in my itinerary, but after enjoyed the tour we agree this tour will be one of the best destination on my road trip. Maybe when you visit new zealand on highseason you must booked by phone / internet before visit. Although this tour can depart on demand. Regular tour depart daily at 10am and 2pm. This tour use small boat with up to 8 passenger. Besides visit the cathedral cove, we amazed when visit awesome blowhole when explorer Mercury's Bay coastline. Sometimes you entertained by gannet dive headlong into the sea.
Hahei have many hotel with beautiful view, but one make me interest is hotel with unique theme. The Church Accomodation, hotel with church theme. This hotel located on beach road and you will passed if go to hahei explorer tour from hot water beach.
On 5pm we arrive at hotel and restling directly to prepare for tomorrow trip. This night we have discuss with other traveller about the special place and hotel, and the result is we must change my itinerary for tomorrow. Change itinerary from the road trip is not special, we make itinerary just for guide not for strictly followed. . Too many beautiful place in newzealand, and its recently discovered during a visit
