Hawkes Lookout Carpark
4.0/5
There's not many freedom campsites in Golden Bay.
This is one is. on the road in/out. You're basically up in the mountains so it's cold. Good overnighter site if you can get one of the few spaces.

The Amazing House Truck!
5.0/5
If you're looking for a unique accommodation option then this is it!
Warm, comfortable and full of character. Love'd the outdoor bath, privacy and nature all around.

Wainui Falls Track
4.5/5
I've enjoyed this easy 1/2 hour walk up to the falls many times.
It's good on a sunny day but spectacular during/after heavy rain. Also the swing bridge across the river is a highlight (watch out for trout and eels below).
