Yes, a rather belated February round-up… but you know what, suddenly I’ve a bit of time on my hands! At the time February felt manic, but now I’m glad we fitted in so much socialising, swimming, and galivanting around the country. We started off with 24 hours on beautiful Kawau Island, and from there the fun just kept coming!
Yes, it might only be a teeny bit of the size, but Splore Festival captures the creative, anything-goes energy of Glastonbury that I love so much. Plus it’s set on a beach in a beautiful regional park – what more could you ask for?
Great way to start the year at Mount Maunganui
Yes, I’m well aware January is over and done, but I had so much fun in this epic summer month that it deserves its own post. So many adventures, so much beach time, so many good eats! And even a festival to round the month off. Wow January, you were packed!
Kawau Island calls itself a jewel in the Hauraki Gulf and it’s not hard to see why. Its turquoise waters lap against golden beaches, and inland there’s beautiful native bush to explore. It’s a fun day-trip from Auckland, or a haven for boaties passing by!
