Visiting & Accommodation

We welcome visitors from all over New Zealand and the world, and would love to show you our little slice of Paradise.

Whether you want to visit for a few hours and enjoy our facilities or stay a few days and explore Hawke's Bay, we can accommodate your requirements.

As our gate is locked, it pays to call ahead to arrange a visit, so that someone is available to meet you and show you around the grounds.

Members of NZNF affiliated clubs and holders of International Naturist Federation passports can receive a discount off the standard fee/s.

In addition to camping sites we have a three bedroom cottage known as Norm's Lodge and a two-person cabin called Bell's Bach.
The Lodge was built in the early 1900's and it was the original club house when the grounds were first purchased. The Lodge has a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet.
