Devonport Village
Devonport is a delightful seaside village whose colonial history is unspoilt by the passage of time. One of Auckland's earliest settlements, the village mixes charm and civility with beautifully restored old villas.

This unique location on the harbour peninsular along with sandy beaches provides stunning views over Auckland - New Zealand's City of Sails, the Waitemata Harbour and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf from its three Mounts.

Many locals know Devonport peninsular as the ?Village of Auckland?, it is laden with history commencing with Maori occupation before the arrival of Europeans and the establishment of the first European settlements in 1840. Devonport is surrounded by sea and commands magnificent 360 degree views from Mount Victoria Takarunga, of the Hauraki Gulf and Auckland City, just across the bay. Devonport derives much of its charm from the fine examples of colonial villas that have been restored and renovated, together with the beautiful examples of native flora that can be seen in the many parks, reserves and beaches of the village. These influences are portrayed and represented in the wealth of local art, craft and sculpture displayed in village galleries.


The Royal New Zealand Navy operates a base in Devonport of which there are various historic sites.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Activities
Should you choose to explore the village you may find yourself in one of the fine cafes that Devonport has to offer or dine in one of the many restaurants. Alternatively there are boutiques and antique shops to browse, or mountain walks to discover or perhaps a swim on Cheltenham Beach.

There is also a ferry terminal offering island and city excursions and connections to further tours such as those of the Coromandel, Tiritiri Matangi and Kawau Island.

Devonport has three historical museums and a cinema. It has tennis courts, an 18 hole golf course and a gym all within five minutes.

Guest Room Facilities
All our rooms are serviced daily. We leave Devonport made chocolates and organic lavender sachets as gifts to you on the pillows.

You will find everything you need including a huge lounge with pool table, WiFi^?, DVD?s, kitchen, laundry, parking. No bunks, beds fully made.

dorm from 11.10EUR
private from 15.26EUR

We have been described as a "lovely 135 year-old weatherboard home with a grown-up atmosphere". Steeped in history and situated next to beautiful Hagley Park, Dorset House Christchurch Backpacker Hostel is relaxing, spacious and elegant, and is well-equipped with all that a budget traveller could need.

Recently refurbished, without losing its essential character, Dorset House is a unique and peaceful environment from which to enjoy all that Christchurch has to offer. Set among beautiful gardens, Dorset House is still steeped in the character of the early Christchurch pioneers. Built in 1871 as the home for the wealthy timber merchant, J B Way, it once featured 27 rooms and three Italian marble fireplaces. It has been lovingly maintained, and is a slice of Christchurch?s past that we are proud to share with our guests.

Our rooms are comfortable, freshly cleaned, and bathed in afternoon sun. All rooms are within 3-7 metres of a bathroom. Dorset House has recently been upgraded and redecorated to cater for travellers who wish to experience up-market facilities at budget prices. There are no bunk beds here ? all beds are fully made with fresh linen. Extra blankets and electric blankets are fitted onto every bed to keep you warm in the colder months. We have a sunny, spotlessly clean kitchen available for guest use, and there?s a full laundry here too.

The lounge - otherwise known as the ?Old Chapel? - is a very large room with plenty of comfortable couches and is a great space for relaxing and talking. Facilities include a free pool table, various board games and jigsaws, TV, DVD player (a selection of DVDs are available) Cable TV, a variety of books for exchange and a stereo. There are computers for guest use - offering internet access, word processing, spreadsheets, printing, SKYPE, USB ports and CD burning functions. WiFi^? is available if you have your own laptop.

Dorset House offers a full travel and information desk ? just ask at reception and let us organise your tours, day trips and onward travel. There?s no charge for this, and if you?re not sure where to go or what to do ? ask our staff, they?re locals and can clue you in on some hidden gems.

From Dorset House, it?s just a 15-minute stroll to Cathedral Square, the centre of Christchurch; or walk along beside the river to reach other city attractions such as the Botanic Gardens, museum, the popular Arts Centre, local art galleries, busy weekend markets and art-house cinemas.

Continental breakfast packs can be purchased at reception, and we are just two-minutes from some great cafes, bars and restaurants on Victoria St. There?s plenty of options here, and fabulous coffee too (we may even point you to our favourite bakery!). Public transport is close too ? just five minutes walk to the airport bus service, or eight minutes to the free shopper?s bus service that runs throughout the central city all day.

Late check-ins can be organised, and free luggage storage is available. We have a custom-built lock-up to keep your bike or skis safe, and free off-street car-parking is available behind the House.

Dorset House is ideally situated to provide a comfortable stay for budget travellers. We hope to see you here soon!

Please note: Dorset House regretfully cannot cater for children less than ten years of age.

If you are using Public transport to get to Greymouth, we recommend Atomic Shuttles, Southern Link, or West Coast Shuttle who will drop you at the door of Global Village, and pick you up again when you are ready to leave. Not only that, they are also excellent value. Arriving by train or Intercity, you will have a 15-20 minute walk to Global Village. Remember; the best travel experiences usually come with a little effort, and a bit of exercise never hurt anybody. So, if you need to make that little extra effort to get here do it, you'll be glad you did! The alternative is a $6 taxi fare, or if your bags really are too heavy, give us a call and we may come and collect you.

If driving, Global Village is situated 1km south of Greymouth town centre. From the south on SH6, turn left off SH6 at the Mobil service station/New World supermarket, and then right, this is Cowper St. We are 400mtrs along on left. From the north, continue on SH6 bypassing main town centre; turn right into Franklin Street, just after fire station, then left onto Cowper Street. We are 200mtrs along on right. And we have plenty of safe off -street parking.

We also supply extra duvets and hot water bottles for those that feel the cold (not that you should need it our hostel is always kept very warm).

The hostel is located just five mins walk from the main street (far enough away to avoid inner city noise but close enough that it is an easy walk to shops, cafes etc). It is a hostel which attracts a wide variety of nationalities and ages (not usually group travellers) and we try to ensure that everyone feels welcome and enjoys their stay (of course).

Outside you'll find a well used outside hammock, and edible garden which includes herbs, grapes, kiwifruit, feijoas, lemons, ?.

Our hostel provides a great place to base yourself whilst exploring the Nelson Tasman region. Everyone that works here has a lot of local knowledge and is happy to share it and book anything for you.

Other good places to stop are Pelorus Bridge for a swim, walk or just a coffee at the café. You can also pitch a tent here for the night. If your feeling a bit peckish and you've developed a liking for New Zealand's Green lip mussels then don't miss "The Mussel Boys" in Havelock. Then it is onwards and upwards to Nelson.

Dropping you off right outside the hostel shouldn't be a problem as we are situated right on the way into Nelson. If they are heading onto Stoke, Richmond, Motueka etc then just ask to be dropped off at the first roundabout you come to. We're only a five minute walk from here (go up Trafalgar Street, turn first left into Wainui which then turns into our Street - Weka.

private from 17.84EUR

All units fully self contained. Bedding, cutlery and cooking utensils all supplied.

Food supplies available on request before arrival.

Mount Richmond Estate is a great place to visit any time of the year. As the seasons change so do the views.

Enjoy the spacious 10 acre grounds on a sunny plateau high above Rai Valley. Surrounded by native and exotic forest the peace and tranquility will completely recharge you.

Mount Richmond Estate is adjacent to Mount Richmond Forest Park and near Pelorus Bridge.

Mt Richmond Forest Park stretches 100 km along the rugged backbone of the Mt Richmond Range from St Arnaud all the way to the coast. It forms the backdrop to Nelson city and dominates the skyline from Blenheim and the Wairau Valley. Over 80% of the vast area is covered in dense forest with manuka, kanuka, bracken and gorse common around the margins of the park. The high peaks like Mt Richmond (1, 700 metres) and the ?Alpine Route' further south have small alpine grasslands.

Geological interest in the park is high as the main South Island alpine fault runs along the southern boundary. This is the largest active fault line in New Zealand and extends down to South Westland. The Red Hills and Dun Mountain have high levels of magnesium and iron, which gives them a distinctive rust colour. Over millions of years they have been moved 600 km north from the identical rocks in the Red Hills of South Westland.

Mount Richmond Estate is located 2 kilometres from Rai Valley township on the main highway between Nelson and Picton. Thirty five kilometres from Nelson.

We could go on about the hostel BBQ area, internet access, laundry, sunny dining area and much more ? but it?s far better if you discover Hot Rock for yourself.

Rotorua is famous worldwide for two main things - Maori Culture and Geothermal Activity.

Maori Culture: The Maori people of Rotorua have always had a very strong culture and have preserved this powerful 'Maoritanga' into the twenty first century.
Rotorua offers some of the best Maori Culture Experiences in New Zealand. These range from expertly performed shows and concerts, hangi (earth oven meals), marae stays and storytelling.
Maori culture is that of a very proud people with a noble past and a promising future. It's important to experience the formal cultural elements of Maoritanga during your visit to New Zealand, but make sure you meet the people too.

Geothermal Activity: The geysers, hot pools and mineral pools of Rotorua have been used by people in all sorts of ways since people first arrived around 1000 years ago.
Maori used the hotter pools to cook their food (look - no fire!) and for bathing. Pakeha (New Zealanders of European descent) used the pools for recreation, and we all still love a long relaxing soak in those lovely hot pools!
There are a range of places around town where you can see geothermal activity - Kuirau Park opposite the hostel is the best free spot. Polynesian Pools have a range of pools at different temperatures in a lovely outdoor setting on the lake's edge, and they are affordable too!

Reception staff can advise you on which tours and thermal reserves are the best. Just ask - we're locals!

A private and unique blackwater experience. Our groups are smaller, more fun and less hassle. Our exclusive cave is totally natural, no steel or concrete structures. We guarantee huge glow-worm displays in cathedral-size caverns and a 90% chance of rapids in wet months. Our cave water is warmer even in the winter months.

With an unbelievable 27 meter abseil into a huge chasm in the Earth, experience the refracted light highlighting the amazing plant and rock formations making this a truly awesome descent. Then you will cave upstream to the cathedral-style 400sq meter cavern where you will witness a glow-worm display that will absolutely take your breath away.

This is followed by a blackwater rafting trip downstream floating through caverns filled with more glow-worms that fill the cave with a soft blue light. Then there is the challenge of moving through the cave with the option of squeezing through passages until you reach the exit. The final challenge is a breathtaking 20-metre climb back to the rest of the world where a well-deserved hot shower awaits you.

Waitomo Rap Raft and Rock Backpackers is located 950 metres down State Highway 37 from State Highway 3
