where beaches and dramatic coastlines offer views on the way to Mercury Bay and
Whitianga. Visit Driving Creek, home of one of New Zealand’s most famous
potters, Barry Brickell, then take a ride on the old Bush Railway through the

the lovely Cook’s Beach, dramatic Shakespeare Cliff, Hahei and its
traditionally built Maori Pa (fort) sites. You’ll also stop at Hot Water
