6th Day - Auckland City Tour & Hot Water Beach


By on 12:24 AM

6th Day New Zealand Road Trip

Sylvia Park Mall - Rainbow's End - Hot Water Beach


Like previous day, we make and prepare meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We very enjoyed the full kitchen facilities We started the day with breakfast at sylvia park motel garden / bbq area. Absolutelly, we love this hotel although it's on busy street and location close with everything but the room is very quite. The staff helpful, friendly and respect.We have resting very comfortable along the night after have the long activity yesterday.
Only with 5minutes drive from sylvia park motel we arrive on sylvia park mall. On the way we through countdown, burger king and fuel station. At this mall we visited many store, but we only shop on store with baby supplies, unique culinary, Nz souvenir, and cloth store. For travelling convenience like find flight or hotel at sylviapark mall you can visit flightcenter or statravel store. If you need internet connection on your trip you can visit vodafone store.
My wife need to try NZ chocolate ( i think the great chocolate is from swiss not from Nz , but it's ok ) and we found some chocolate store. But from many store, we only meet chocolate with alcohol free at Butlers ( My family not drink alcohol ). At the butlers we buy some chocolate.
And there is my shopping costs at sylvia park
Vodafone : $70
Butlers chocolate : $22
The Body Shop : $35
Tank Juice : $25
Kebab On Queen : $32
Backdoor : $59
Baby Factory : $47
Habitualfix : $25
TGNZ Shop : $91

After pay a lot damage cost on sylvia park we go to rainbow's end. Distance betwen sylvia park and rainbows end only 10km and through Southern Motorway can reach in 15km. Entry with auckland multipass, free for adult but  we must buy ticket $39 for my baby ( Age two until 13 years ).
Arrive on rainbows end immediately we go to Kidz Kingdom. For security rainbows end make height restriction for ride. With these regulation and already afternoon we can't try all ride. At this park we try Kidz Kingdom, Family Karts, Motion Master, Pirate Ship, Cinema 180.
Finished try some ride on rainbows end time is 4pm. And our next destination is far enough. Hot Water Beach. We make plan stay at Top 10 Holiday Park Hot Water beach, an this place is approximately 150km, 2.5 hours drove and ussually it will be longer cause take a picure in many places. Sunset time is 7.30 pm , When i make itinerary we has been estimated until afternoon on rainbows end. With my wife we make my rule from this road trip is entrance hotel before sunset. We make rule cause two reason, once is my baby not to tired and we not loss the beautiful sightseeing during the jouney. We have considered stay at manukau city near rainbows end, lake waikare or transit on thames. But it will be waste  the time. So we make decision go to hot water beach this day. If you will stay at manukau you can add auckland botanic garden as your itinerary for this day.
One of the reason we go to top 10 holidays park this day is cause have the unique room design. If you stay on weekdays, this hotel has great offering midweek special price. We arrive on sunday and we got price $114 from $150 if you stay at weekend. We choose Deluxe family villa with one queen size bed+ two single beds, ensuite bathroom, and full kitchen facilities .All facilities is modern and very clean. I dont understand why this hotel offering same price for deluxe family villa, deluxe villa, and ensuite units. Although each room has different facilities.

Budget 6th Day
Sylvia Park Mall $406
Rainbow End $39
Deluxe Villa , Top 10 Holiday Park Hot water Beach $114 ( Midweek special 2 adult 1 child )
other $100
Total NZD $659
