Toni Street | Whangamata
Whangamata is the "everything" destination. It's got a great mix of peaceful, pristine beautiful beaches and surf, but there's always something to do if the weather isn't great too. There's great shopping, excellent food, wharf jumping, waterfall walks, golf, bike trails. Perhaps the best thing about Whangamata is that it's kept the "old kiwi bach" charm, where time stands still, it doesn't feel touristy or overrun. You can truly relax and unwind!
Jase Reeves | Waihi Beach
Imagine a slice of coastal paradise with golden sand, picture perfect water and a stunning place for a sunset wander (or sunrise stroll!) Welcome to Waihi Beach. From incredible local cafes and an RSA with inexpensive and delicious food and drinks, there are so many reasons I've kept going back every summer (and Easter and Labour weekend and whenever I can!) for nearly 30 years!
Sam Wallace | Whangapoua
When you see that little island just off from the white sand beach you know you’ve made it to the beautiful Whangapoua. With a community that feels like those classic Bach towns of years gone by and a dairy with everything you could need! With just a 40-minute drive to Whitianga, you can spend that day exploring this bustling town before heading back to your little slice of paradise.
Lorna Riley | Waiheke Island
The Hauraki Gulf’s jewel, Waiheke Island – with white sandy beaches, bright blue water and incredible experiences, you may mistake yourself for being in Santorini, but this beautiful city escape is only a ferry trip from Auckland. Enjoy world-class restaurants and wineries or lay on the beach and get a real fruit ice cream, Waiheke really has something for everyone.
Jon Dunstan | Nelson
Nelson is worth the visit, with beautiful lakes and hikes paired with local markets and hot springs. Head to lake Tarawera for a day of swimming, fishing or enjoy the incredible walking trails. This homely feeling town will capture your heart.
Jason ‘JT’ Tikao| Queenstown
It's my favourite holiday destination, from all the adventure activities to the Onsen pools, to the best sweet shop in the country. I love it so much I even got married there!
