    One of the 4 campsite offerings in the Astrolabe.

    Walking

    There's better beaches in the Abel Tasman to stay at. but it's not shabby all the same. Slightly elevated, just off the beach and generally quieter than a couple of the other campsites nearby.

    Kayaking

    Akersten is a super sheltered spot from wind and swell. Stay here and get up early to tackle the Mad Mile in the predominant calm morning conditions.
