Poets Corner Lodge is located on Waihi Beach, a hallowed home of wonderful scenery, and an ideal base for exploring New Zealand's magical North Island. Straddling the border between the Bay of Plenty, and the Coromandel Peninsula, enjoy a short drive to many of the top attractions of the Central North Island. For example, step into the lush pastures of The Shire from Lord of the Rings, with magical Hobbiton just a 1 hour and 25-minute drive from Poets Corner Lodge, or uncover the volcanic and cultural landscape of Rotorua, less than 2-hours away. Those looking for a more active adventure in the Northland should head to the Karanghake Gorge, where dramatic hikes will take you through an area steeped in gold mining history and natural beauty. Be sure to stop at the stunning cascading staircase of Owharoa Falls for a picnic in the deep green of dense tropical vegetation. Elsewhere cycle the easy-going Hauraki Rail Trail for some of the North Island's finest scenery and a taste of the region's rich pioneering history, from the Pohutukawa Trees on the Thames Coast, through the green Waikato Farm Lands. Conveniently, guests may decide to stay even more local still, with the beautiful surfer beaches and friendly community of Waihi Beach on your doorstep. Stay here for a range of fantastic eateries, such as Gunners View Restaurant, the Flat White Café or the Porch Kitchen and Bar, or sample the rich bounty of the local produce for yourself at Waihi Produce Market every Sunday in Waihi Beach.

About Central North Island

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Central North Island in New Zealand encompasses the volcanic heartland of New Zealand's North Island and contains the geothermal wonders of Rotorua including the dramatic Pohutu Geyser as well as the active volcano, White Island, just off the coast, Mount Ruapehu and the Taupo volcanic zone. The geothermal activity in the area has created a fascinating landscape of volcanic peaks, sometimes snow-capped, mountain ranges, bubbling springs and hot mineral pools, plateaux dotted with vast lakes fed by fast flowing, clear rivers brimming with trout. The landscape is incredibly green, and a mixture of bush with dense forests of beech trees, rimu and other pine trees and ferns of varying sizes and grassy open hillsides with cabbage trees. Every now and then steam rises from patches of ground. This region is also rich in Maori history and Rotorua has remained an important centre for Maori culture. To the east of the region near Gisborne, there are vineyards, rich pastures and surf beaches. It is also the place where Captain Cook made his first New Zealand landfall at Kaiti Beach in 1769. The region offers a superb range of water based and land sports including fishing, white-water rafting, walking, kayaking and mountain biking. Scenic flights over the volcanoes are very popular.

Highlights of the Central North Island

Enjoy the mineral waters at the Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, Visit the Whakarewarewa Thermal area at Rotorua with its mud pools, Pohutu geyser and six other geysers, Maori carving school and meeting houses, Combine a visit to the Blue Lake with its beach and the buried village of Te Wairoa, Visit the Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland between Rotorua and Taupo with the Lady Knox geyser (shoots water and steam up to 21 metres at 10.15 am daily) and walk through the geothermal area past the Champagne Pool and Primrose Terraces, Keen fishermen should try the trout fishing at Lake Taupo.
