I'm as good as broke and in need of a break with the kids. We love Rotorua but I don't think the budget could stretch to all the usual activities.

Hi verity, when I need a break, i go camping, in summer of course. Start by collecting up all the camping gear, tent, sleeping gear, camp table and camp chairs, gas cooker,pots and all that stuff. While you are doing that, check out WARM AREAS on the net. Some places North of Auckland, like Coromandel, Hot Beach, and all areas North would be great.

A friend of mine has done house swaps for 20 years. Their reviews are good, so they almost always get the time and house that they want. the major expense in any holiday is accomodation, I find, and she now takes 4 x 1 month hols/ year...just has to get there. then you see it as the native sees it. Often families/ homeowners leave brochure out for local attractions.

We have never been on an ocean cruise, so we have decided that we will do so in Feb 2013 even if we cannot afford it.
