Spent a couple of nights over New Years in this beautiful Bay, situated about an hour from Christchurch. Rudimentary camp ground with only toilets, no showers. But its location right beside the sea more than make up for any inconvenience and the $8 per night camp fee is more than reasonable. Take a boat and some walking shoes as there is a walk out to the heads of the bay. (I didn’t get there, but it looked good????)
