Kawhia Beachside S-cape

Kawhia, Waikato

Beachfront camp at Kawhia, a quiet harbour town with hot-water beach digging at low tide.

Best to book

Kawhia is off the main road and feels like another era. Dig your own thermal pool at Te Puia Springs beach within two hours of low tide, then come back to a quiet camp with harbour views.
