Default Please Help RE Orewa

Hiya

Just a quick question to anyone in the Orewa area. I will be there next week thursday for 1 week with my 2 and a half year old son. What is there to do (besides the beach). Any playgroups or something like that? Maybe somewhere I can drop him off to play for an hour...or eight?

Also where is the best/cheapest place to buy diapers in the area? Coming from our stop over in Singapore and the sizes here ...well lets just say its on the small side.

Thanks

Robin.

Hi

We live in Orewa and have 2 boys - aged two and a half and six months. There are lots of good playgrounds if the weather is fine; otherwise there is a Plunket playgroup on a Monday morning 9.30 am ish. Also there is a good day nursery - "lollipops" - that I think will take children on a casual basis if they have spaces. Hope that is helpful.
