Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
17. Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
1 site · Lodging ·
🌿 Dune Lakes Retreat & Horse Inspired Learning Centre is nestled on the wild and beautiful South Kaipara Head Peninsula, just 60 minutes from Auckland CBD. This peaceful sanctuary is set among rolling sand dunes, native bush, and Lake Kereta — a stunning freshwater dune lake.
Campers can choose from a variety of sites — some tucked into quiet corners close to the stunning wetland and others open with wide skies and shimmering lake views. Whether you’d like to wake up close to the water for a swim, or camp higher up with sweeping vistas, there’s a spot for every mood.
The Kaipara South Head is an ancient sand barrier separating the vast Kaipara Harbour from the Tasman Sea. Between the dunes lie inter-dune hollows, filled by groundwater to form freshwater lakes like Lake Kereta and the larger Lake Ototoa.
✨ To the West lies the wild coastline and 65 km stretch of Muriwai/Rangatira Beach, with breathtaking sunsets over the Tasman Sea.
✨ To the East is the sheltered Kaipara Harbour — the largest harbour in the Southern Hemisphere — a pristine environment and vital feeding ground for orca, dolphins, and countless migratory birds. Birdwatchers may spot godwits, knots, turnstones, plovers, curlews, fairy terns, and more. Shelly Beach, shaded by grand old pōhutukawa, offers swimming, a playground, and wharf access to the harbour.
✨ To the North lies the lagoon at the peninsula’s tip — a calm refuge for swans, ducks, pukeko, paradise shelduck, kingfisher, fantail, warbler, and silvereye.
This retreat is also home to a thriving herd of free-roaming horses at the Horse Inspired Learning Centre, where guests can experience mindful, non-riding interactions. Their presence adds to the deep stillness of the land.
Expect birdsong at sunrise, the chorus of frogs at dusk, and starry skies at night. Facilities include excellent water quality, toilets, and showers, making it simple and comfortable to immerse yourself in nature.
A place to rest, reflect, and reconnect — where land, water, wildlife, and quiet beauty meet.

Nestled between Whakatāne and Matatā in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Thornton Beach is closer than Ōhope for many visitors and offers the quintessential New Zealand beach holiday: sun, surf, space to unwind, and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto the sand, and soak in uninterrupted views of Whale Island right in front of the park, with White Island visible in the distance. With the ocean on one side and the Rangitāiki River just metres away, you’re surrounded by nature at its very best.
Thornton Beach is famous for its incredible fishing. Cast off from the shore and try your luck surfcasting towards Whale Island, or launch your boat from the boat ramp just 200m from the park and head out to deeper waters. This is one of the Bay of Plenty’s top spots to drop a line.
Thornton Beach may be quiet and tranquil, but there’s no shortage of adventure. If you’re keen to get out on the water, SUP boards and kayaks are available for hire.

Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
17. Dune Lakes Lodge - Retreat & Horses
1 site · Lodging ·
🌿 Dune Lakes Retreat & Horse Inspired Learning Centre is nestled on the wild and beautiful South Kaipara Head Peninsula, just 60 minutes from Auckland CBD. This peaceful sanctuary is set among rolling sand dunes, native bush, and Lake Kereta — a stunning freshwater dune lake.
Campers can choose from a variety of sites — some tucked into quiet corners close to the stunning wetland and others open with wide skies and shimmering lake views. Whether you’d like to wake up close to the water for a swim, or camp higher up with sweeping vistas, there’s a spot for every mood.
The Kaipara South Head is an ancient sand barrier separating the vast Kaipara Harbour from the Tasman Sea. Between the dunes lie inter-dune hollows, filled by groundwater to form freshwater lakes like Lake Kereta and the larger Lake Ototoa.
✨ To the West lies the wild coastline and 65 km stretch of Muriwai/Rangatira Beach, with breathtaking sunsets over the Tasman Sea.
✨ To the East is the sheltered Kaipara Harbour — the largest harbour in the Southern Hemisphere — a pristine environment and vital feeding ground for orca, dolphins, and countless migratory birds. Birdwatchers may spot godwits, knots, turnstones, plovers, curlews, fairy terns, and more. Shelly Beach, shaded by grand old pōhutukawa, offers swimming, a playground, and wharf access to the harbour.
✨ To the North lies the lagoon at the peninsula’s tip — a calm refuge for swans, ducks, pukeko, paradise shelduck, kingfisher, fantail, warbler, and silvereye.
This retreat is also home to a thriving herd of free-roaming horses at the Horse Inspired Learning Centre, where guests can experience mindful, non-riding interactions. Their presence adds to the deep stillness of the land.
Expect birdsong at sunrise, the chorus of frogs at dusk, and starry skies at night. Facilities include excellent water quality, toilets, and showers, making it simple and comfortable to immerse yourself in nature.
A place to rest, reflect, and reconnect — where land, water, wildlife, and quiet beauty meet.

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.

This site was great, and the work they are doing to restore the jungle is awesome. Our only complaint was the motorway being so close there were no peaceful nature moments until very late at night.

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.

Wow!!! We spent 12 days in the South Island camping and this place was the highlight. This may be the best hipcamp I’ve EVER stayed at. If you are looking for a true secluded camping experience, outdoor living, and (as an add bonus) hanging with pigs, chickens, and peacocks this is the place to be. Everything from the kitchen to the bathroom is made from recycled materials. If you have kids there is a great area for them to play and a “secret trail” with tree house for them to explore. This is what camping is about. I would have paid twice this to stay at blue spur farm. I hope the rest of New Zealand catches on to hipcamp.

Weekend Trip to Blue Spur Farmstay Hokitika
We stayed at the hut for the last two nights and had a wonderful time! The hut is located down a long private drive, so the only noise that you hear are the sheep or peacocks. No power nor Wi-Fi, so plan accordingly. We enjoyed walking down the road to watch the sheep, alpacas, pigs, chickens, cows & peacocks. The hut had a bed, 2 chairs & nightstand so we spent the majority of our time on the patio or in the kitchen area which is in a separate building nearby. Animal lover paradise: we were visited by a dog, several chickens & peacocks. The hut does not have any temperature control, so plan accordingly. We simply closed the door and were warm enough with the provided sheets & blankets.
We went to Punakaiki to see the blow hole and pancake rocks and to Arthur’s Pass Village and went hiking at Devils Punchbowl both were beautiful and worth the time.

What a sweet little farmstead and a great spot to spend time in the calm, quiet hills of Blue Spur. The animals are a special backdrop and some even come to visit the hut! The peacocks, chickens and dogs are all so friendly. My son and I enjoyed biking the back roads and checking out the Blue Spur Forest Trails from the hut as base camp (30 mins ride to Stations Inn).

Was definitely the most unique stay of our 2 weeks+ trip. Absolutely loved the kitchen area which was made entirely of recycled materials. Exploring the farm was itself an attraction, we were even approached by three very friendly and talkative pigs, as well as two very excitable dogs. The spot was also easily accessible. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hokitika wanting a nice little country getaway.
