TK 🍦🍷: Walk up the Pelorous River Scenic Reserve 15 minutes to cross a swingy and bouncy suspension bridge that traverses the river. Great views, great fun, and (most importantly) sound engineering!
TK 🍦🍷: This park is very cleverly designed (taking cues from the shipyard to the west) & is full of bold public art. It's part of an attractive walk to or from Pier 1 (where ferries depart for the islands).
TK 🍦🍷: The barista (a smiley blonde woman) is incredibly passionate about coffee, who spent 5 minutes explaining to me all about it! Also, the coffee is delicious! Lots of locals come here it seems.
TK 🍦🍷: The food is all fresh & delicious but what I loved the most about this place is the decor. It's Victorian & whimsical all at the same time. Very carefully put together for an overall delightful effect
TK 🍦🍷: It's so easy to drive up and onto this ferry, which seems to just go back and forth across all day all day long Paihia-Russell. $11 for a car & driver. Pretty views if you are a first-timer, too.
TK 🍦🍷: Casual dining (plastic tables, chairs, flatware) is enhanced by the dockside setting. Perfect for a laid back meal with friends on a Summer night. Seafood is locally sourced hence super fresh. BYOB.
TK 🍦🍷: Using a gelato machine imported from Italy, this place makes insanely delicious, creamy and light gelati and sorbetti. Try the sea salt olive oil flavor, it's amazing!!
TK 🍦🍷: This is a great bike shop staffed by helpful, friendly people who love the sport. Cory is a great salesman! Brands also has a full-service repair shops...Peter is tops on repairs. You'll leave happy!
TK 🍦🍷: A stunningly appointed boutique hotel in a villa built in the ornate, classic Persian style (anomolous for Italy). Rooms afford a view of the Alps &/or Lago Orta. Restaurant has 2 Michelin stars.
TK 🍦🍷: Incredible service, delicious & perfectly-prepared food, elegant atmosphere, no detail left unconsidered. Go off-season for even more doting service. An unforgettable experience. NB: 2 Michelin stars.
