So we had booked Kiwi International Hotel & Hostel for our first stint in Auckland - but after reading the reviews we had to change - some people had bugs in their room NOOOO l will not be sharing a room with an uninvited visitor! So we have changed to Aspen House Hotel its more expensive but the reviews are so much better!

Now we are looking into car hiring in Oz and spending a night down the Great Ocean Road - looking at staying over in Lorne or Port Campbell - but if anyone knows of anywhere good for an over night stay all advice gratefully received!!

So we have booked an overnight stay along the Great Ocean Road - we have hired a car to take us along the road and do it our way instead of doing a day trip. So we are staying in Apollo Bay - thanks to all the TPers who advised that it was a nice place to lay our heads!
