Whitianga was our next stop after Thames, Hilary didn't recognise it at all from when she'd last visited about 10 years ago. It has become a very popular 'second home' destination for wealthy Aucklanders, lots of very expensive new homes, but mostly shut up at this time of year, very sad really. Hilary had booked us into another homestay, but when we arrived, fortunately early, discovered that the guy had 'double-booked' us (in fact he'd got the month wrong!). Fortunately we were able to find a very comfortable & spacious motel room, overlooking Buffalo Beach, via the Information office, the 'i'. These are very useful places to go, and we have found unfailingly helpful. We ate out at 'Salt', a restaurant right next to the marina, which was very pleasant.
