Hi, Hi we are at Hihi

Apologies, but we could not resist a little play on the name of our next home on the road ... Hihi is pronounced "He-He" :-)

We have now settled into a really lovely campsite called HiHi Beach Holiday Park for a month. We could not have chosen a better place to start our life on the road. The park is right over the road from a sheltered beach and is beautifully maintained with lots of lush green landscaped gardens and trees.  Every morning and throughout the day we hear the birdsong of the Tuis in the trees and we are pretty sure we have heard the chirpy sound of kiwis at night.

We cannot believe that there are only 4 campers including ourselves that have chosen this wonderful place as a long stay for winter.  This park is a gem!  And we are loving our stay here.

The park is amazingly well maintained with spotlessly clean facilities.  Jeff and Christine are wonderful hosts and best of all it is dog-friendly in off-peak months

Hihi itself is a small settlement with no shops but shopping is not a problem at all.  Just a 15 minute drive will get you to either Mangonui or Coopers Beach to stock up for food.  If you really wanted to get other supplies other than food, then Kaitaia is only a 40 min drive away.

But really the magic and beauty of Hihi is the sleepy beachside atmosphere that exists here; a Northland paradise of unspoiled natural beauty.
