Opua Marina
Bay of Islands, New Zealand
pier and makes himself at home everywhere. Be warned when that tail starts twitching blood could start flowing - and it won't be his.
Very friendly and known to pop up
next to you in bed in the middle of the night - great fun to have around.
Come in and meet the friendly staff in the Opua Marina Office...........
The office is now located on the first floor of the new Marina Building which also houses the FNHL offices, cafe, laundromat, delicatessen and gift shops. Jane, Marilyn and Puggsy will do their best to make your stay un-forget-able.
Whether you require a berth, swing or pile mooring to rent, boatyard services, haulout and hardstand, information on the area, purchasing a berth, renting or buying a car, specialised trades-people, charts, arranging cash, taxi's, bus tickets, phone cards, flags, postcards, fuel or duty free fuel, secure car parking, storage units the list just goes on....and we got it all...
Just ask and they'll be happy to oblige, they are jack-of-all-trades
and are very sick people:
THEY LOVE THEIR JOBS !
Or maybe you just want a plain old good laugh, these gals will make your day, and your stay, one you will never regret (or forget) come up and have a chat - and don't forget to sign their guest book !
If you have just arrived in New Zealand and need to get some where in a hurry or are a stranded holiday maker, then you have come to the right place - being the local Northliner bus agents here in Opua, we will be able to book and organize your trips as quick as a flash [the jokes are quick as well]
Meet the staff that will welcome you to our paradise:
Jane:
The old hat; been here since the place opened. Memory like an elephant
(watch out, she'll remember you and what you did or didn't do).
Sick sense of humour to boot.
Loves wine...
Marilyn:
(she's Australian, so we'll excuse her straight away) we had to change
our uniform colours as they were based on Aussie colours; never heard
the end of it.
Ask to see her hat.. (Not a bad stick really - sssshhhhhh)
Laura:
She's from Baawwsssstttoonnn.
Arrived on her yacht a few years back and has now become a landlubber and a garden lover (nice veges).
Pickiest eater we have ever met (not by her choice though).
Does wine though!!
Puggsy:
(Eric as his wife calls him) is our man-about-town, he keeps the place
afloat (so to speak) keeps it looking nice and clean for our visitors.
He disposes of the quarantine rubbish from offshore vessels and makes
the most amazing inventions to make life easier for us all (loves a good
chin-wag too) bit of a smart cookie actually (don't tell him though)
Together this team is dangerous and highly efficient...
If you forget to bring your sense of humour you could be in trouble here!
