Please do make us aware before you arrive if you have a boat with you and what the size of the boat is. The local store Whananaki General Store has all your basics foods, great coffees, fish and chips and at certain times makes great burgers. Check it out online for their open times and kitchen times. There are some great walks in the area, both short and long . From the beach next door, ( Otamure) you can continue on to Tauwhara bay via the Watkin Powell track. (make sure the tide is at least half out) At the end of Otamure beach walk up to the road and cross the one way bridge and there you will see the Doc sign 'Watkin Powell track' which takes you through native bush to Tauwhare bay aprox 1 hour return walk. No dogs due to Kiwi being present. Motutara Recreation reserve: At this reserve which walks you along the headland beside the Whananaki Estuary which leads you to several small beaches and some good fishing and diving spots. In very calm conditions at low tide there is a crystal clear lagoon down the edge of the steep rock face at the end of the headland. The entrance to reserve is to the left of the first white house beside 'Wharf road' on Rockell Rd. approx 2hours return, no dog access. We have the longest foot bridge in the Southern Hemisphere which is part of to the Te Araroa - The Long Pathway - the walkway through NZ. The entrance to the bridge is by the Whananaki school and -you can continue to walking to Whananaki South beach to make this walk as long or short as you like. Further along is the Capitaine Bouganville monument or you could keep walking to Sandy Bay!(check it online). On our property we have a Maori lookout Pah site which you can walk up to and further enjoy more wonderful views. It is the headland facing the Island (Motutohe Island) beside our property. Due to the protection of this site we are not allowed to cut tracks but if you can walk a steep hill amongst the pine trees you will get there. An easy to walk up the ridge by the flax bushed behind glam camping site is where you can watch the sunrise and look out to the Poor Knights. This is a great place to set up as a base. I highly recommend that if you like snorkelling or diving that you visit the Poor knights and see this astounding place to snorkel and dive and this beautiful Island. The boat leaves from Tutukaka daily which is about 50 minutes drive south from here. If you would like to see some local history go to Waitangi which is north just under an hour away and visit the treaty grounds. If you would like to go to Russell is just under an hour away by a very scenic road, old Russel road. There is also the Helena Bay Café which has a fantastic collection of New Zealand art work and a café with lovely views open for brunch to late lunch is only 35 mins away. If you like bigger walks there is also Mimiwhangata coastal park which is about a 4o min drive, it is a very windy narrow road but if you drive slowly it is really beautiful drive and has there are numerous walks you can do at the park. Have a look on the Department of Conservation site to get more information A place to just stay at the beach here and totally unwind and or enjoy lots of activities. 2.3/4 hours from Auckland and you can be here in our peaceful retreat. Guest access You have access to kayaks and paddles and we have adults life jackets. Other things to note We collect our water from the rain and would appreciate you being careful when using our water as we can easily become short of water. If are from NZ could you possibly bring your own towels to helps us conserve water? I would very much appreciate that. I understand overseas travels dont travel with towels and I will supply these for you. Due to the open nature of our place it is difficult to make our place pristine clean, (one gust of wind and a bit of sand etc may make it not obvious I have just swept ) but I try my very best and would appreciate if you can take this into consideration when you are here.
