Excellent freedom site with view over beautiful beach.
Short walk to “village store’ which sells basics and also good fish and chips. There are a couple of food huts next door where you can buy ice cream and pizza. Toilets are open all night and well lit but not very clean after a busy Sunday. Great place for the night.

Favourite beach on our Northland campervanning trip.
Long beach with estuary at the end. You can walk in estuary at low tide. At north end 1 hour round track takes you to headland then beautiful Whale Bay. Accessible only by foot or boat. Lovely walk through Bush and farmland. Peaceful holiday town with a dairy. Clean toilet. Only minus was a visit by boy racers at night doing donuts by vans. Luckily their visit was short. Room for 4 Van's in allocated site. Will return in summer.
