Amazing place to meet some locals.
Every Wednesday all locals come around to drink beer over there. Have a good chat with them and lucky as we are they invite you to come over to their house for a good BBQ!

Very nice place to collect some odd but useful stuff.
We bought a tent for $5 and found climbing shoes for really cheap. Nice place when you travel cheap and need camping stuff.

Very expensive but definitely an experience when you have never done it before.
Be sure you are in a group with people who are on the same level of experience. Nice to have some climbing experience.

Amazing track to get there, 15-20m of overhanging rock, completely dry.
Nice swim spots nearby, many river crossings though!

Awesome views, the middle just before you reach the campsite is the best.
Be prepared for many river crossings - bring sandals! Do not attempt after heavy rain.

They helped us to find a cheap tent and told us about Wastebusters (so not just DOC-related help).
