AWHITU PENINSULA

I try to get away for one weekend a year with my 3 children, now all young adults. However, it was over 2 years since our last trip (to Central Otago) when we headed off to a bach we rented in Awhitu Regional Park for a mid-winter weekend in June 2010. The Awhitu peninsula forms the south-western boundary to the Manukau Harbour. This year we were joined by my daughter's fiancé and my older son's girlfriend. We had a lovely relaxing weekend in this quiet part of the country, within site of Auckland International Airport and the Sky Tower!

My sons and I travelled out to the Manukau Heads on the Sunday to see the lighthouse, stopping on the way back for an amazing morning coffee at the Awhitu Social Club, where a local runs a cafe on some Sundays only from midday to 4pm. Here we were introduced to key lime pie, a specialty of the Florida Keys!
