Hello all Australian and New Zealand camino affectionados!!
I am writing as a fellow pilgrim (frances 2014) to enquire if there are any kind hearted souls out there who could help with advice for my adventurous 19 year old son who is coming to Mairangi Bay in late January to train with the surf lifesaving club for two months, and then to spend another month hiking the south island. He is having a challenging time finding accomodation in the bay area, or nearby, and could sure use a hand finding a modest room to rent for the two months. He has tried airbnb and youth hostels. He would like to cast a wider net and we wonder does anyone know of someone who might have a room available for short term rental in the bay area or a reasonable commute? He would also love to hear about your favourite top hiking spots... he plans to do 3-6 day hikes for the last month.
Thanks in advance for your tolerance of an offtopic post, but a post sent to a community with a way of going through life that embraces those travelling many different ways!
I have submitted this initial post, and will forward any much appreciated responses to Owen since he is the traveller with the questions.
buen Camino!
Patti
