MTBに乗ってHUKA FALLまで

今週のタウポは街をあげてのBIKE FEST。
町中がバイクで溢れかえっています。車が自転車に気を使ってますからね〜。世の中こうなるべきじゃないのかな?
お昼を食べて、子供達と一緒にFUKA FALLまでサイクリングにいってきました。








コースに飽きることはありません。

…あっという間に到着で、

「お父さん！アイス買って！！」

「お金持ってきてないよ…」

「えっ？さっきバックに入っとったよ。」


$6…チン！








あと何年一緒に遊んでもらえるのか？

子供達の成長を日に日に実感している今日この頃です。

Stretch your legs.

Our guests sometimes ask us to recommend what to do for a couple of hours to fill up their spare time. Jet boating? Bungy jumping? Well, what can they do without spending money?
There are heaps of activities in Taupo, which you don't even have to take your wallet out of your pocket. I took my kids down to the lake front the other morning, and biked to the place called Wharewaka Point.
This track is very well maintained, nicely paved and both sides are grass fields for most of the way.
It's a share-track, which you can either bicycle or walk.
We toddled all the way to the end and came back, took us 1 hour and a half. There are few playgrounds on the track, therefore not only for serious walkers, but also for those who have little children.
When you have had enough shopping or had a hard night out drinking the day before, this might be an option to reset your body and the wallet.

Taupo DeBretts

Any ideas for good activities on a rainy day? Taupo DeBretts is the perfect solution for it! There are 2 large 100% natural thermal pools, kids splash-playgrounds with a water slider. On the other side, there are 12 private pools, water temperature is between 38 degrees and 41 degrees stated on each door.

Fees are $20 for an adult, $88 for a family of 2 adults and up to 4 children.

However, however, however... 

DON'T TELL ANYBODY, WE HAVE SPECIAL VIP VOUCHERS FOR OUR GUESTS, it gives an exclusive price of $15 for an adult, or $45 for a family day pass (Let me remind you again, they are normally $88!) which even includes hydroslide access!!!!! Whaaaaat a deeeeeeeal!!!!!

DON'T FORGET TO COME INTO THE OFFICE AND ASK FOR THE VOUCHER!!!!!

.....Another good reason to stay at Mountain View Motel.
