Hotels near Thames Aerodrome - TMZ, Thames

Thames has changed so much since my childhood days;so for me seeing the canals fenced off, St James unable to walk up the spire, the closiing of the Regent Theatre bring up nostalgic Memories of what we used to be able to do. But...great to see the foundry still operating, can still go up the great old monument providing a great view. So lovely to have a walk up the Karaka Ck, step back in history with a walk thru Irishtown, drive up the Kaeranga river, the improvements in historic Totora and Shortland cemetries,drive along the coast and dont forget to visit Miranda on the other side with its bird sanctuaries and other sights .I will always recommend visiting Thames and the surrounding territory...right up to Port Jackson. Oh yes, what about the old ( and maybe more?)restaurant, then called "El Zorro" located in what is now called Grahamstown and now a fabulous Thai restaurant wirh extensive menu.. Yes, I love Thames.

Thames is a pleasant small town with adequate facilities. Almost every thing of interest is located on the main street. There are good cafes and a tiny cinema. I would recommend Little Toke for coffee and cake and the restaurant next to it for evening dining. The fish and chips at the wharf are good too. If you are travelling by car a trip up the Kaueraengae is worth the effort.

Quirky little town that has all the needed amenities, eg Pak n Save, The Warehouse, numerous eating places, secondhand shops etc. Beautiful coastal drive up to Coromandal if you dont mind narrow winding roads.

oh useless people. A Chinese Take away shop , Dragone name was really awful food and behaviour . The lady almost wanted to fight with all her body to me . Rusty lady .another local lady also around the area , I parked my car was so unusual . She came around my car and banged to my window then started fighting . Not a normal city and I never had this kind of experiences anywhere . God Bless these people

Thames sure has improved since we were last time several years ago with regard to the town centre. Some great shops. Good Pak n Save supermarket. Waterfront is attractive and trip up the coast to Coromandel is fantastic - gorgeous NZ scenery

We loved it. The grandkids loved the playground by the mall area. We had a great time at the Goldmine experience and fully recommend this as they were very informative and something different to see. Everything was close by with ample parking which made it easier to get around. Wea made our meals although meal delivery is possible. The ocean is also close. Would love to come back to Thames at some point
