Bicycle Network Victoria: Great Escapade New Zealand

We can now confirm the following as the ride campsites.

Gisborne 

Churchill Park, next to the Olympic Pool, Centennial Marine Drive, located across the road from the famous waters of Poverty Bay.

The campsite is approximately 1.2km from the central shopping area.

Matawai

The local primary school have kindly agreed to let them use the grounds for our campsite.

Opotiki

Crossing into the Bay of Plenty region, we will be camping in the War Memorial Park, a short walk to the beach and only 900m to the shops in the mainstreet.

Whakatane

The rest day campsite is on the Rugby Ground, Domain Rd. Located 10-15 minutes walk from the main street. However if you are planning on looking at motel accommodation whilst in Whakatane, there are a few motels located within only a few hundred metres of the camp ground.

Rotorua

The Agrodome (http://www.agrodome.co.nz/) have agreed to host us on their beautiful grounds. It is approximately 10kms from town however there is plenty to see and do right here (including bungee, zorb and many other great adventures and entertainment)

Okoroire

The grounds of the famous Okoroire Hotel (http://www.okohotel.co.nz/index.php) will be your home this night.

Whakamaru

This day will be possibly our most beautiful campsite but at the same time the most rudimentary as we pitch our tents on the banks of the stunning Waikato river.
