Recovery party?

02/03/2025 Sunday​​ Recovery Party at Orewa Surf Club 3.00pm   275 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa, 0931    https://www.orewasurfclub.org.nz/cafe- Please confirm if you are coming so we know numbers etc

How to get there?

Fly into Auckland. Air NZ has direct flights, look out for a sale as you can get return flights for around $1,200 pp when sales are on (Air NZ is the more expensive airline)

Qantas is slightly cheaper however doesn’t do direct flights, you will need to stopover in Brisbane/Sydney/ Melbourne.

A cheaper option is Batik Air who does direct flights and are more like Jetstar (have flown with them home from Auckland recently and it was fine – just not very luxurious if that’s what kind of flyer you are 😆)

Where to stay?

We would recommend staying around Orewa/ Red Beach for the time of the wedding, Orewa is on the beach and has some little cafes / bars / restaurants that are easy to get to, and a big supermarket/ alcohol shops. Red Beach is the town along from that however doesn’t have cafes/bars (just a small block of shops) – if you’re hiring a car then it’s only a 5 minute drive into Orewa town.
