Beautiful, blue beach views can’t be beat. A bit busy during the day as people walk through, but quiets down in the evening. The flush toilets were especially appreciated after 2 days of kayaking!

Lovely campsite with tenting and cooking shelter facilities. Great swimming. Nice waterfall for a cold shower.

Awesome campsite! Flushing toilet and a kitchen. Not very busy which was nice and the Ranger that was there was lovely. Be sure to take confirmation of your booking because you won't have any cellphone reception. Beware of the Weka's! They'll literally snatch food next to you!

A very nice little bay - grab a kayak and some lunch and make a beeline to this manic spot!

Nice campsite directly at the beach. The campsite is a little sand Plateau 1m above the beach. There are some picnic tables and even a Cooking shelter. Water need to be cooked, treated of filtered by yourself. Toilets are clean and there are around 4. Beach is nice for a swim and there is even a natural pool nearby where you can go for a swim
