Fernz unfortunately is a long way from the airport. If timing is ok I could possibly arrange to pick some of you up otherwise a shuttle bus is probably the best option.
If you are coming from out of Auckland and wish to do the day trip to Waiheke you will need to arrive on Friday night or very early Saturday morning . We will either take the 11am ferry - I can provide transport for up to 7 people )including me)from Fernz to and from Devonport to the ferry.
Cost for Waiheke ferry is $35 return pp - ( to be paid individually)
Rental car cost approx $15pp depending on which car and numbers...

Dinner for Saturday will be organised soon and details will follow - this is optional and extra.

I will need confirmed numbers asap as the Fernz quote is only good for 7 days and they have had a change of management so I have a different contact than previous years

YOU???.....

[honeymoon]

I'm in... just sorting out some flights.

[timelord]

Dumb question Lauren... I gather I am best to book Fernz for the Sat night? or should I book in town and go out to Fernz in the morning

[Lauren]

No youd be best to book at Fernz Michelle - its quite a trek into town and this way you will be on the spot so to speak.
I also live just down the road so thats a bonus

[Chardonnay]

I'm all booked! Coming in on same flight as Timelord, arriving 8.30, and leaving Auckland at 7.30 on Sunday night. I'll get onto Fernz for a room for Saturday.

[Lauren]

Ok well I can organise for either Erica or I to pick you up from the airport - Yay!

[timelord]

That would be great. Thanks Lauren

[Chardonnay]

Thanks muchly

[littlekiwi]

As much as I'd like to do Waiheke I'm more than likely not going to be able to do that part of the weekend

[timelord]

Lauren, I booked the Queen Chalet but have just noticed the confirmation has come back as Queen studio. It doesnt really matter as I only need a bed, but was it definitely the chalets that should have been $115?

I can pick up from the airport Sat morning and I'll be staying at Fernz Sat night myself, just about to book my room. Room in my car for 3 extra. Let me know who needs to be picked up and what time/airline.

[timelord]

Hi Erica, Both Chardonnay and I arrive Sat morning Jetstar 8.30am

[Erica]

I'll pick you both up...hmmm should I wear a flower in my buttonhole for recognition I'll be in touch nearer the time.

Oooooooooh they also have a deal for a vineyard lunch and winetasting for $15 for $35 worth - now if everyone who is going to waiheke wants to do that we could all buy that too!!- but we will all have to agree - mind you Im happy to buy it and do it at some other time so I might buy it anyway!!!- on top of that they have a discount on car rental too - so I might buy that seeing we will need a car over there.
