Coroglen - Coromandel

Travelling from Whitianga towards Whangamata and Waihi, you turn right here, immediiately past the tavern, and drive the 3 kilometres along an easy-driving metal road to the Riverglen motor camp.

Then, when you're settled in at the camp and feel inclined to have someone else cook your evening meal, the tavern is certainly worth a visit.

For at least two very good reasons: First for the old-world courtesy, and secondly to discover the delights of a beautifully cooked, moderately priced and generously portioned meal.

I don't think I've ever seen such large plates, filled to the rim with fish, chips and the trimmings, for such a reasonable price.

A very pleasant evening.
