Amazing place, excellent for swimming and for picnics. Only about twenty minutes out from blenheim, highly recommend.
Beautiful place for quick visit.
Beautiful and great facilities. Thank you very much DOC and the dedicated locals and officials. Keep it beautiful and clean visitors.
Amazing place, beautiful views..there is also a trail.
The drive there is not for the faint hearted. But it is worth it. The bay is absolutely stunning and you can find small steams of mountain fresh water flowing into the beach.
Fabulous campsite! It's a shame that there's no enough parking space for day visitors and they park cars right next to tents during the day.
Great swimming spot, beautiful area, and very popular, especially with locals. Beach is patrolled during summer.
Well set up DoC camp ground. Lovely small bay with good rocky headland to climb over.
I have not stayed at the camp-site but traversed it to get to the beach in summer. In 2015 there was an edible shellfish, Pipi, colony close to the shore. Should you partake, ask about the quotas for what it is you are partaking in. The road to and from the site has been known to freeze hands of cyclists in the winter, velocity on hills and handbrake ability reduction, and cause need for rescues of cyclists subsequently impaled in trees. Caution is needed for tides and rips too, hence you will notice there is a lifeguard operation. So long as you do not behave like you are invincible, the park, beach, hiking trails and roads to the site are fun.
