Congratulations on your web site. My parents live in Whangamata,....... ........., and mum
mentioned to me this morning that she had read that Whangamata was now on the net How
right she was. Your site certainly gives a true representation of Whangamata as I remember
it. I do hope that it gets the recognition it deserves. Very easy site to naavigate and I
love all the photos. Best Wishes...

I'm ..... ........ an ex-pat Kiwi now living in Sydney. Having lived the first 26 years of
my life in Morrinsville I know Whangamata well and have holidayed there for the last 12
years or so. Including two weeks last christmas. My girl-friends father is ..... .......
....... and when talking to him the other day he mentioned the web-site address so I
thought I would have a look. Very impressive. I think you have done a great job and you
can bet I have added it to my favourites list so I can check in regularly to view the
progress. Although I have taken plenty of photo's of Whanga over the years I copied a
couple so I can set them up as a tile on computer to give me daily reminders of what I'm
missing. We particulary think of this around long weekends when we would normally be
enjoying the great fishing, diving and golfing etc. Well, thanks for reminding us what a
great place Whanga is, and look forward to dropping in every now and then to view
progress. Hope the site has plenty of hits and helps people from all over the world
realise that there is more to NZ than Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Queenstown.
Cheers and Regards..........

The Coromandel Peninsula sounds (and looks) great. Oh! To be there! Perhaps one day!
Subject: Great work on the Coromandel Site
Date: Wed, 14 May 1997 21:25:50 +1200
I have just seen your site via the NZTB site. You have done a great job of putting our
area on the map! Compare the Coromandel with BOP & Waikato ? BOP only has boring govt
sites and Waikato none! I didn't realise you did internet work but you have provided a
great asset for the region! You even have a Paeroa page.
Subject: Great Site!

Thanks. Especially for the driving times around the Peninsula. We are planning a September
trip and this type of info isn't too easy to find in detail even with our great pile of
books. We're on trip 4 to NZ. We are still looking for times, dates, etc. that specific
attractions are open. Keep up the good work.
Regards, Clay and Louise (California-USA)
