You already know that New Zealand is a favorite destination by many tourists. That is why you are thinking about going here for your next vacation. But you may not be sure about the places to visit. Head to West Coast if you’re aiming for spectacular backdrops. Cape Foulwind, for example, is a place that lets you admire the panoramic views of Tasman Sea and Tauranga Bay. On top of these, you can also meet fur seals along with dolphins and whales. Various natural features can be found in Kahurangi National Park, particularly when you stop by Oparara Basin. The limestone arches, a number of extinct bird species, and moa bones are some of the best features of the site. Of course, you will need a place to stay. Read on to learn about the best Bookabach in West Coast, New Zealand.
