SEPTEMBER 2015

What a trip !! Great itinerary, great people, great weather, yeah right "wet wet wet". But did that worry them!! Not the slightest. 22 mature passengers wanting to enjoy each other's company and enjoy the diverse countryside we were going to travel through.
Our 1st stop was at the Ormondville Hotel for lunch, and to try their beverages, both were up to scratch, with a very chatty welcoming proprietor.
​Next To Wimbelton Tavern to have a drink with "Dutchy" owner operator for the past 27 years (and the pub's only 119 years old ).What a great host.
The round pool table and the history of the area make this pub well worth a visit. We only stayed there for 1.5hrs ha!!

Then off on the final leg to the Beachhaven Inn, Herbertville by the sea, an out of way place but has it got character!!!
Some stayed in the hotel, the rest (me included ) stayed  in the motor camp opposite,  a great experience on its own. I had the deluxe well requested caravan.  photo please !!!
Let the night begin!! Lorraine, the lady proprietor was a hoot, very welcoming and fun fun fun. She performed a poi dance for us and her husband Art was the cook supremo. The locals joined in the fun and challenged our troops to pool. I became the juke box DJ. All in all a terrific night for us "young people”. 
Up early for a great breakfast, once again no pressure to leave.
​As most people had never been in this area before it was decided to go to the end of the beach road to have a look, so of course the bus got stuck and had to get winched out. Was anybody upset NOPE all part of the adventure Ha!!!
Phew!! We got out and underway but it meant we could not call into Porangahau so we drove straight to Tikokino Hotel through real heavy rain. Another neat establishment with good food and atmosphere.
Then straight home. I really liked the company of the people, the hotels we visited, the night in Herbertville.
If anybody reading this would like me to arrange something similar I'd be keen to do so and make it happen. And it's not expensive.
