    Great place, but unless ignorant, rude, young tourists, in their so called SC vans, go by the rules, it will be one more place that NZrs can't come, because these tourists, in the main, really don't give

    a damn. And because of that, places get shut down. When you visit another country, live by their rules. Don't also rock up to a freedom camp after dark and bang on peoples windows, asking them to move!! All because you can't make better plans to get to destinations earlier.

    Très bel endroit pour dormir.

    Parking de plage avec espaces verts et toilettes à quelques mètres.

    Seulement 2 places disponibles. Nous avons était contrôlé a 2h du matin donc je vous conseille de le respecter.

    A neat little space for two campervans – but we were the only ones there on our night (for which we were grateful, as two vans would be a tight fit in the allotted space).

    Clean toilets 30m away, gas BBQ pit, and (cold) shower outside the toilets. Quite a bit of evening and early morning activity on the reserve, with families visiting and dog-walking, so it felt a bit less private than we would have liked.

    Nice place to stay, beach just over the sand dunes, toilet and outside shower across the playground, big grassed area and playground for the kids to play, recycling bins and free bbq, lots of campers parked

    up outside the 2 parking spaces, unsure if they got a ticket or not.

    Absolutely beautiful spot right next to park, playground and beach.

    Toilets locked at 7.30pm latest but open again at 7.30am. Seperate bins for recycling which was great too.

    In very high demand took us three separate days to get a spot here.

    However really was worth it, such a nice area with local shops and cafes nearby as well as the amazing beach. Toilets were very nice however shut at 8 or so. Has a cold shower too.

    We stayed for one night, it was a beautiful place with enough space to have your table and everything outside.

    Very closed to a very nice beach and toilets stay open all night ! And you can have a cold shower for free.

    We stayed here for 1 night.

    It was a great place to stay. 24 hour accessible toilets that were very clean just across the field. Flat area to park the campervan and very quiet. Short walk to the beach. The only thing that would have made it better was a view of the beach.
