The whole area apart from a few bachs and the two Post Office houses, is a campsite. There is only one little shop there that sells basic goods (milk, bread etc) and doubles as a cafe/take-away place. (They make the BEST chocolate cake there and I got the recipe.) Anyway, because of this, there are no young adults etc there only families with children.
The boys made friends with lots of kids and one of the dads invited them to go out on his boat on the "hotdog" one morning. Well, they jumped at the chance! They had to wear sunscreen, hats and lifejackets and they set off very excitedly. They were out for about three hours and came back beaming! They'd had a wonderful time and both the dads who were out with the kids said they were brave boys. Yes, they fell in but all they did was stay where they were and they boat came back round to pick them up. I didn't manage to get many photos as they went across to the other side of the sound and my 10x zoom didn't reach that far!
Another favourite was to jump off the end of the jetty there - they would meet up with their friends and just spend the day jumping in together, swimming round to the steps and then doing it all again.
No one missed TV, PlayStation or PSP as there was so much to do and all of it outside in the sunshine and fresh air.

That sounds like the perfect kiwi summer holiday.
