Atiwhakatu Stream

The picturesque Atiwhakatu Stream passes through the area, which is home to a diverse range of animal, bird and insect life. A ranger is available to offer assistance and provide local information.

The Atiwhakatu Stream has good, relatively safe swimming areas which are popular over the summer.

You'll also find barbecues, fire places and picnic facilities in attractive setting – grassed riverflats, surrounded by lush bush, next to Atiwhakatu Stream. Firewood is available from the ranger. Please do not take firewood from the bush.
