Cathedral Cove

Remember The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian? The second Narnia movie? If you’ve seen it, you will probably remember the scene where they came up from the cave and ended up at this beautiful beach with crystal clear water. Guess what? You can be ‘in’ that scene since it was filmed here at Cathedral Cove.

Cathedral Cove is located on the right tip of New Zealand’s North Island, about 160 kms from Auckland , in an area called Coromandel Peninsula and it takes less than 2 hours to drive. Once you are in the area, you would have to bush-walk for about 20-25 minutes each way to go down to Cathedral Cove but believe me, it is worth it.

Cathedral Cove

Tips: Get there early so you can enjoy some swimming and some sun if you are going there in summer. Take your time and do bring your water bottle with you as you will need it on your walk and when you are at the beach.

Polynesian Spa

Not far from Taupo, about 45 minutes driving, you can go to this nice Polynesian Spa located in Rotorua. This place definitely needs to be on your must-go list! Rotorua’s Polynesian Spa has been voted by readers of the prestigious Conde Nast Traveller magazine 2004-2007, 2009 as a World Top Ten Spa (medical and thermal day spas). The prices are affordable and if you are wondering about the price, you can check out their website here. I would say it is worth every cent you are paying for!

Polynesian Spa definitely was one of my highlights in New Zealand, not only it will energize you and gives you some relaxation after long hours of driving (I did drive a lot in New Zealand ) but the spa offers beautiful scenery overlooking the lake. I guess its status speaks for itself, if you are not in a hurry, you can probably stay in Rotorua as well as they are many accommodations to choose from.

Unfortunately I have no pictures of Polynesian Spa (the pictures on the left were taken from www.polynesianspa.co.nz)! I was relaxing! What do you expect

Tips: Night time in the winter will probably be the best time to go as you can see the stars in the sky if you are lucky and the heat in the water will give you some warmth.
