Marphona Farms, stayed a couple of nights in a park-like setting nothing like the farms we have been on it's unique, $10 per night with power, NO DOGS, wifi ok.

Te Kauwhata, Waikato

We made the mistake of getting stuff posted from RV Superstore when it would have been better to go over to the North Shore and pick it up.

We have been waiting a week for it before we can finally head South. We need a dump station so Te Kauwhata Domain is as good as any and we can stay the night for a $5 donation, digs and wi-fi ok.

Finally on our way to the South Island

Mokau, Waikato

Our first park for the night is Tainui-Wetere Domain, The current charge is $15 on power per van $10 for non-power dogs and wi-fi ok.

The weather is horrible so we are not venturing out to explore here, as we are still getting over head-colds.

Lake Rotomanu, Taranaki

We had a nice sheltered spot here, free parking, dogs and wi-fi ok.

We did the around-the-lake loop walk before heading South.

The weather is hopeless for doing anything outside, so we have been hunkered down here waiting for some improvement.

Ashhurst

We picked up the windscreen cover from Dymax in Ashhurst, they checked it fitted before we started to move South. The cover is a good fit and is lightweight so easy to manage.

Fits like a glove on a chickens lip

Petone, Wellington

With the weather, we needed to find a camp with power. Petone Workingmen's Club is $20 per van per night has 4 power points first in first serve, and dogs and wifi are ok. We had a meal at the club NZMCA members can use their member cards to sign in to use the club facilities.

Novus is 1km up the road which was convenient to get a stone chip repaired on the windscreen. We are disappointed this happen so soon after getting the windscreen replaced only a few months ago.
