North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Napier ▷
3.5/5
Great spot with pretty good facilities (pool, playground for kids, onsite shop etc).
The toilets/showers are a bit of a let down for $30 pp pn but on the whole can’t really complain.

4.0/5
Great spot for self contained vehicles to pull up.
Pretty good toilet facilities. Right on the beach and great views of the lighthouse. Make sure you go and look at the light house at night time!
