Their idea for opening Terako Downs was born from their love of sharing. Coming out of owning a business in Dunedin, they felt it a shame not to share their artefacts and the beauty of the property.

The site perfectly located close to Hobbiton, Rotorua and Tauranga. We were tent camping. The host is great and trails provided to explore nature. We found that site may be more suitable for trailers and caravans because of proximity of the road.

Our second visit here and we love it - Tim has only improved the offering since last time. Now, there is a pair of amazing shiny toilets in the upper camp and through a gate, bridge & steps down to the river gorge, where you can see glowworms at night, or take a swim/dip in the day. Such an amazing camp, probably the best one ever for us. Thanks Tim!

Wow that was such a cool spot to camp. We got in late after dark and Tim came and fetched us from the gate to bring us in. Super friendly guy, really welcoming, absolutely beautiful site. Can't say enough good things; thanks again Tim for the New Zealand welcome!

We had a great camping stay at Lekker Stay, thanks Magda!
The site is well located ons the intersection of two main roads within Whangarei Heads, close to the shops. The site had all the amenities we needed for camping comfortably. The hosts and their two dogs were very friendly!
Recommend Magda’s place to anyone else and will be staying there again in the future.

Absolutely phenomenal spot. Blown away, the listing photos don't do this slice of magic justice. Explored a little of the surroundings, the water - crystal clear and just stunning. The rock faces and limestone walls that create coves. Absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended for a little getaway. Facilities 10/10 Thankyou for sharing this little slice of yours with us.

Even though we arrived in the middle of the night in the rain, instructions were clear and we woke up to the surprise of the beauty of the site. Be prepared to open multiple gates, but the end location is well worth the effort.

I love that it was in a very secluded area with limestone Bluffs and a river flow through property. It was very tranquil. There was no one else around. I had very nice restroom facilities and also had freshwater on the property . If you want to relax, this is a place to go, plus it was absolutely beautiful.

Great place to unwind and take in the great little creek and amazing cliffs overhead. Nice toilet and best of all you can build a fire and just sit back and relax.
