You can book it via #departmentofconservation , itโ€™s a cute hut which sleeps up to 12 people, has solar lighting, a USB charger! It is toasty warm too๐Ÿ˜Š It was a challenging 4 hr walk each way for our kiddos (aged 8-12yrs) but they did good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค—
Stunning snorkeling adventure in the far north ๐Ÿคฟ, was a great confidence building session in the calm secluded bay ๐ŸHope everyone is getting out there enjoying the summer holidays together โ˜€๏ธ #forestfamilynz #snorkeling #farnorthnz #whanautime
