Lovely setting in the forest. We were sheltered from the wind despite the strong easterly wind. Facilities are basic, but sufficient - clean toilets, strong showers, and kitchen facilities.
Nice campsite close to a pretty beach! You also get fresh coffee at the entrance shop. BUT: you have to pay extra for the hot showers and you need to have 1NZD coins. We asked at the reception if we can buy coins with our creditcard (and we were absolutely fine to pay even more) or if there is any other option, but the receptionist denied everything and said the only way is to drive to the next ATM which is 15 minutes away. (Which is in total 30min drive for a 1$ coin…)
Remote, quiet and beautiful. 10 minute walk thru a dense pine forest to a huge, pristine beach. Close enough to town to make restaurants, shopping and groceries an easy journey. No cell service or WiFi at the campsites. WiFi available at the office.
Great location, facilities are all around super near to ours tent, clear and tidy. I had zero phone reception and lot of sandfly so be prepared
Tried to book to stay one night, only available to book for 5 nights..
Fabulous location for peace, quiet, nature, beautiful beach and woodland walk, and powered sites (grass) spacious and level, but the rickety bridge access seemed unsuitable for a large camper van. Facilities a little primitive and basic, though showers did work well ($1 coin). Kitchen had no oven and power went out on all the wall outlets when using the toaster. Use of kayaks might be free, but broken paddles and rusty/wonky metal ladder on muddy river bank put us off. Little/no cell/wireless.
This campsite is large and gorgeous with a walk through the forest leading to a big beautiful beach. Beautiful sunset. We stayed in one of the powered forest pitches. Beware though - you have to pay (coins) for hot showers and there is no water refill for motorhomes unless you’re happy to fill the tank with non drinking water. This was something we wished we had known!
Great little find. We arrived after hours and instructions stated to grab a site and pay in the morning. They had a handy little sheet displaying all the empty sites. Short 2min walk to the beach which was lovely and quiet. All the facilities were great and even the cold showers weren’t that cold!! Lots of space between sites which was nice too, you didn’t feel on top of each other! WiFi was available at reception.
This is the most beautifully located site - a real gem of a find. The layout of the site is attractive and spacious and we could walk through the old pine forest to the most wonderful unspoiled beach in 5 minutes! Nice coffee to pick up from reception area and the most helpful lady behind reception who went out of her way to help us with locations and planning. Thank you so much!
Amazing place ! We booked one nighy but extended for another one after speaking to the reception. Ths campsite is quite big and every area has a kitchen which is nice. However, the only chill room is with the powered site, so not tent which are usually the ones who could enjoy it the most. Wifi available next to the reception. The general store at the reception has you covered with everything.
