A small sheltered bay near Orepuki with a scatter of simple holiday baches looking out over Foveaux Strait. It is a quick, quiet detour off the highway and a nice contrast to the busy bays further along. Pair it with Monkey Island and the gemstone beach nearby.
Good to know
- Treat the baches as private homes, look from the road and shore
- Combine with Monkey Island on the same side road
- Best time
- Calm day
- Open
- All year

- Fine in any car
