Our beautiful environment

Ninety Mile Beach

 

With its fast seascape and strong current and rips, it can be calm like a lake or wild with white caps and 5 and more waves lined up roaring. It can be very quiet with no wind at all or very loud, almost sounding like a waterfall depending on the wind and tide.

Caution at all times is recommended. Suitable for fishing but not swimming.

Wild horses

 

When driving on Hukatere Road through the forestry towards Hukatere Lodge you may spot some of the Te Aupouri Wild Horses. At times they move in and help themselves to grass at our campground with their foals.

Dunes

 

The silver green Spinefax grass represents the skin of the sand dunes and it holds the sand in place. It protects us from sand drifting inland. Quite extraordinary, that a grass holds tones of grains of sand.
Please, please do not stand onto the very sensitive hairy grass -runners when walking over the dunes to the beach and back. Thank you.

Rubbish

 

Where can you get rid of your rubbish?

At the “Houhora Refuse Transfer Station” located at the northern end of Pukenui (fndc.govt.nz).
They take your recycle glass, paper, milk bottles and rubbish.
