Available is a sheltered flat grass section near a stunning beach. It is sheltered from the wind yet only a 60m stroll to the beach. Take your morning coffee or evening wine to the beach (like I do). Lot's of fun nature hikes in the area, eg Mahineapua Track, Whangaroa Harbour. Nearby is Matauri Bay reknowned for it's great surf, or Kauri Cliffs Golf Resort.

Come stay off-grid… but not too much! Perfect for self-contained campervans, with a power point and Wi-Fi access. There is even a bathroom available with a shower and toilet. Just a 2-minute drive from shops and close to popular beaches and fishing spots. Enjoy views of Mount Manaia for lovely, peaceful sundowners, and wake up to the sounds of chickens, a wide variety of birds, and maybe even a few bunnies hopping around.

Weekend Trip to Lekker Stay Camping Sites

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.
