When booking, ask to be dropped off and picked up from Starboard Wharf Bay Hops can also be booked with Kawau Cruises to visit Mansion House Bay or the Kawau Boating Club. Option 2: You can bring your own boat up Starboard arm at high tide and park right at the base of our stairs. This is a tidal area and you will need to move your boat an anchor it out in line with Starboard Wharf to prevent it from sitting on the dry. You need at least 10 metres of chain. We have a mooring available if you prefer for $50 per day. You will know when you have arrived at our stairs when you see 2 hammocks in the trees, a small jetty to your left, with a camo kayak and a tender close by, and stairs going up to your right, with paddle boards bedside them. From the base of the stairs, you need to take your gear up the first flight of stairs, where you will find the base of our “travelator”. The electric trolley can then carry your belongings up to the house from there. There are approx 120 steps to climb to reach the house. The view when you get there is worth it!
