We tried to visit the Kiwi sanctuary at Rotorua but it was fully booked so continued the drive to Coromandel. We swam in Long Bay and later met Dawn and checked in at The Wee Cabin. This was a small cabin with all the required facilities and with a kitchen across a gravel drive. We went into Coromandel town and and had a lovely meal of Green-lipped mussels and Oysters at The Pepper Tree. Dawn made us aware of the local, ladies only, fishing competition prize giving at the Coromandel Hotel that evening so we spent a pleasant evening with the locals and band.
