Favourite summer holiday spots

Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

Hi everyone,
We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

A PRICELESS GIFT

Donna from Gate Pa

Hello everyone

The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.

So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.

So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.

There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.

Debbie from Papamoa Beach

Hello I’m in abit of a pickle regarding Easter eggs I did a zip option this year as a pickup order for the warehouse it said the eggs were available at my chosen store and would be ready after 6pm the next day but that’s not been the case I waited for 2 days and still wasn’t ready to collect I went last night and the girl there said that what wanted were no longer in there store and they were being sent from another store but couldn’t tell me when it would arrive for collection so I canceled the order thinking I could pick something else on the spot but no it gets refunded back to zip she said so I couldn’t get anything so long story short I’m needing some eggs from the Easter bunny I’m happy to pay back for them just don’t have any money this weekend please message me if you can help out lol thanks
