It's a high ropes course midway between Taupo and Rotorua. There are a number of different activities up in the air, the best being the trapeze jump and the huge swing. This course will really test your nerves. I was fine doing the skydive but was scared witless doing this. An excellent day out if in the area.

It's not in Norwich at all but a few miles northwest. It's a high ropes course in the middle of the forests of Norfolk. It's amazing good fun for everyone. You can go down a zip line, just off an 80ft pole, or go on the extreeme 3G Swing! We had a wicked day out and it's well worth the money.

It's on the A1065 8 miles North of Swaffham and 8 miles South of Fakenham. Large signs on the A1065 in the Weasenham Woods indicate the turning off the main road. The car park is only 400 yards from the crossroads.

A little fishing village on the coast south of Oamaru has become famous for a geological wonder on its windswept sands. The Moeraki Boulders are huge spherical stones that are scattered over the sandy beaches, but they are not like ordinary round boulders that have been shaped by rivers and pounding seas. These boulders are classed as septarian concretions, and were formed in ancient sea floor sediments. They were created by a process similar to the formation of oyster pearls, where layers of material cover a central nucleus or core. For the oyster, this core is an irritating grain of sand. For the boulders, it was a fossil shell, bone fragment, or piece of wood. Lime minerals in the sea accumulated on the core over time, and the concretion grew into perfectly spherical shapes up to three metres in diameter. This natural wonder is a fab stop-off for a wander around, if you're travelling between Dunedin and Christchurch. It's free although they ask for a contribution. There's also a gift shop and nice cafe overlooking the water. On a sunny day, it's gorgeous!

The Moeraki Boulders are situated on Koekohe Beach at a place named Kumara, midway between Hampden and Moeraki townships in North Otago. Access to them is gained by a small one-way side road, 1 mile north along the main road from Hillgrove railway station

It is a lovely hotel, right next to the Old Town Square and clock tower. It's walking distance to all the sights and restaurants and bars. It's very reasonably priced and breakfast is included, which is in this lovely little courtyard cafe. It's a continental buffetand it's delicious. We had a room for all 5 of us, which was fun. Would totally recommend it for a group.

It's an adorable restaurant on the waterfront which serves the most divine food. It's popular so be sure to book. But dinner whilst the sun is setting is spectacular. The seafood is to die for and the wine selection is very good too. A really nice dining experience.
