0.5/5

Plenty of parks and space if you're desperate with view of the water but so noisy with people coming and going, loud music until 2am.
Has toilet. Not a good option if you want a restful, peaceful evening, wouldn't stay here again

Beautiful spot with asphalt parking in front of grassy areas with shade trees and two picnic tables.
Lovely walks nearby and views across to Matakana Island. Popular spot for locals walking their dogs or putting in their boats.

We spent New Year's Eve and we really enjoyed having the carpark for ourselves and the relaxing sound of the waves.
Picnic tables available on a grassy area with trees. Nice to have a quick hat with locals and tourists coming to take their dog for a walk or use the jetty for their boats. Basic toilet facilities. Stunning starry sky view at night.

Found this small place at rankers.co.nz as well.
Good place to sleep and enjoy the sunset.

Nice location by the sea, but its close proximity to Katikati meant that our Friday night stay was shared with various folk, out for a good time into the early hours of the morning.
It might be a different story if you chose to stay here on a working week night.
