Favourite summer holiday spots
Hi everyone,
We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

Farewell to The Warehouse
Today as I wandered through The Warehouse at Whangaparaoa, now very bare, with stock down to minimum, packing up all around, I thought how sad it was. Our trusted shop with staff who had been there up to 15yrs, is virtually no more. This saddens me, and I am not happy to drive all the way to mill water. To all those staff that have served us so well, I say goodbye, and wish you all the best for your new positions.
