Rainforest route on a dirt road
Rainforest route on a dirt road
There’s nothing like the “lost road” in NZ. I was trying to take a short cut from Auckland to Rotorua and somehow got lost; alone in a camper van on an (mostly) unsealed marrow road that winded around a big mountain at 20-30km per hour... my heart pounded through my chest.... (Steep drop) the mountain views were breath taking. I didn’t want to leave the road! It was amazing! Next time I’ll take a free camper! Never without in NZ I learnt! An absolute MUST!!
Views from the Lost Road... one of the many stunning views

The room was modern and clean. The staff were lovely and very helpful with all our odd requests. The unit had everything we needed and more. The location was great because it was so close to Whakatane city center and close to the road going to Ohope when we wanted to go to the beach.
