Accommodation is based on share twin. That's
two singles or one double sharing a room.
If you are single and want to stay that way
we can arrange single rooms.
 In
Riverton we stay at the Riverton Rock Guesthouse
a restored historic guesthouse overlooking
the Aparima River.
It has a range of themed rooms including
the infamous Scarlet Bath Room - complete
with old victorian bath.
At Mason Bay we stay in a campsite alongside
the public hut. Bunk beds are generally available
in the hut and our camp is well set up with
a range of tents, camping chairs and inflatable
mattresses. We provide sleeping bags. No
power, toilets are outside and there are
no showers .... sorry that's the price you
pay to see a kiwi in the wild and all of
our customers agree it is worth it!
In Halfmoon Bay we stay at the Portside Lodge,
a local holiday home with all the mod cons....power,
showers and flush toilets. Linen is provided.
Carry only your own personal items.
