Park around back for quiet night in a secluded spot.
If you park out front you'll be women from 6 am by coal trucks. Showers still cold as coin machine broken. Toilets basic but clean. None of this a problem is you are self-contained. Washing and drying machines use $2 coin.

Jimmy Armers Beach, Kaikoura
3.5/5
The toiletblock also has outside cold showers.
The sign says this is one of the few safe swimming beaches on this stretch of coast. Sleeping to the sound if waves is perfect.

10 out of 10 for what uou need in a freedom camping Large area for parking.
Toilet has Flush long drop and basin with running water and very clean. Interesting info boards about the history of mining here. The walking and cycle trails run past. Would be great for a stop and a swim in summer. Local community have done a nice job in providing this facility.

It is just as everyone else says.
Simple and this perfect. Stayed last night. Empty as it is winter. Woke to see the skating lake icining over and pretty frost all around. If you camper van is winterized this is a lovely quiet spot to stay in winter. Easy access to Mt Robert's walks and the delights of St Arnaud.
