We discovered Lego Masters USA/AUS during our lockdown in NZ. Once we started travelling again we came across Spike’s Bricks and Models whilst driving up into the Coromandel. If you are in the area and have any interest in Lego at all this place is Lego Heaven! The owner is a great guy, very warm, friendly and enthusiastic and prepared to spend time with visitors, giving you a guided tour of his collection, which is vast and varied. We had a great time in every room and even had a Technics vehicle remote car race to complete the experience. 62 years old and I loved it!

Visited the Karangahake Gorge with our 2 adult children and our 10yr old - although extremely busy (hard to get a car park) well worth the stop! If walking distances is a problem for you - you can drive right up to the waterfall Owharoa off state highway 2 onto Waitawheta Rd. Car park is just to the left after going over the bridge and the track to the waterfall is just up the road on the right (only 2min walk). You can swim in the waterfall but it can get overcrowded. And no pushchairs or mobility access. The cafe across the road from the main Karangahake Gorge car park The Talisman Cafe was also good, homemade bacon and egg pies with homemade chutney - very good and the coffee was also good.
