Walking around in THAMES, NEW ZEALAND w/ GoPro7 Camera
Walking around the town of THAMES in NEW ZEALAND with a GoPro7, which brought me into a surprising number of bookstores for what I thought was a fairly small town. Pretty cool little place, and maybe typical for New Zealand? Maybe? Nice place though!

Coromandel, New Zealand Travel Guide
Coromandel - one of the finest areas to visit in New Zealand. Sit back and relax as we take you to some places you'll definitely want to visit!
Stop 1 - Our opening scene, also used in the Narnia movie.
Te Whanganui-A-Hei otherwise known as Cathedral Cove
If you're planning a visit to New Zealand - Coromandel, Cathedral Cove is a must visit destination with its iconic cave and stunning beach. Get ready for a bit of a scenic bush walk down to the famous cove and make sure you watch the video for some handy parking tips.
Stop 2 - When you're in Coromandel Town and hunger kicks in, you just have to get some Coromandel green lipped muscles. We stop off at Pepper Tree Restaurant and Bar in Coromandel Town to get some of these tasty molluscs and some delicious calamari too.
Address - 31 Kapanga Rd, Coromandel 3506
Hours: Monday - Sunday 10am–9pm
Stop 3 - With our bellies full it's time for another famous spot, Hahei Hot Water Beach. This hot water beach is on Mercury Bay on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand, approximately 12 kilometres south east of Whitianga. An amazing phenomenon occurs at this beach where if you dig up holes in the right spot you actually get access to hot spa-like waters. Go prepared with your spade and make yourself your very own hot spa pool on the beach.
Stop 4 - We retire for the evening at Dawn's AirBnb
If you're looking for a great place to stay in Coromandel Town, Dawn's AirBnb is a lovely little home away from home and such a cute cabin accommodation located on a farm and in a very convenient area of Coromandel Town. Dawn is a fantastic host so definitely check out her Coromondel accommodation if you're looking for a great place to stay. Fits 3 people very comfortably and if you're lucky you'll get a visit from her cute cat and dogs!
Stop 5 - On our final day we head over to Whitianga which is a short approximately 45 minute drive away from Coromandel Town to go to another one of our must visit spots. The Lost Spring. Enjoy this hidden paradise with geothermal spas and hot pools in a beautiful secluded nature setting. The Lost Spring in Whitianga is particularly enjoyable in cooler weather. You can even order some food and drinks to enjoy by the hot pools.
Address: 121A Cook Dr, Whitianga 3510
Hours: Monday - Sunday 9:30am–7pm
Stop 6 - Finally if you're craving Asian food there aren't that many choices in Coromandel Peninsula but over in Whitianga we take you to our favourite Asian (Thai) restaurants, The House of Chang Thai.
Address: 33 Albert St, Whitianga 3510
Hours: Monday - Sunday 11:30am–2:30pm, 5–9pm

Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden – New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand
Day 3: Join us at the Coromandel’s ridiculously beautiful Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden! It’s part of our activity challenge in New Zealand’s Biggest Gap.
Yesterday - Day 2 -
Tomorrow – Day 4 –
About this video:
It’s day 3 on New Zealand’s Biggest Gap Year where today’s activity is to go to the Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden. The affordable activity holds many surprises as we wander around this tropical hot house abundant with beautifully-coloured butterflies and plants. You can find the Thames Butterfly and Orchid Garden just a short drive from Thames in the Dickson Holiday Park. It’s definitely worth checking out in the Coromandel region of New Zealand.
However, things don’t start quite so smoothly this morning when our campervan gets stuck in the mud. Backpacker problems, right? See how we get out of that mess in the video. Plus, we have a few campervan repairs to do so that we can continue on our backpacking trip around New Zealand by campervan!

Crosbies Hut Thames Coromandel New Zealand
Crosbies Hut was built in 2010 and offers panoramic views of the Coromandel Main Range - north towards Maumaupaki and Mercury Bay and from the Firth of Thames in the west to Table Mountain and the Upper Kauaeranga Valley in the east. The lights of Whitianga are visible at night. View a photo gallery.
The hut is situated in an old farming settlement established in 1880, with Thomas Hunter Crosbie being the first settler. Access was by foot, horseback or horse-drawn sledge. There are still some fences alongside the track leading up to the hut. The area became part of the Coromandel Forest Park in 1970.
At the hut site there is a memorial for two Swedish tourists who went missing while tramping in the area in 1989.
Getting there
Crosbies hut is located on the Memorial Loop Track off the Main Range Track, approximately 12 km north east of Thames.
The Hut can be accessed from a number of tracks, with two access points from Thames township (Waiotahi and Karaka), two off the Thames Coast Highway (SH 25) (Te Puru and Waiomu) one off the Tapu-Coroglen Road and one from the Kauaeranga Valley. The Waiotahi Track can be extremely muddy in wet weather. Allow 4 to 6 hours for all access tracks to Crosbies Hut.
