Tōtaranui Campground
3.0/5
One of the less attractive DOC sites, big patch of grass to share for everybody, walk a bay further and you are back in paradise.

Kahu Kayaks
4.0/5
Great fun, good help for freedom kayaking.
They book campgrounds etc as well; weather report could have been better, also more information about the route times. Very good instructions though.
