Tāwharanui Bach looks out over Kawau Bay and the Hauraki Gulf. There is a open, mowed lawn and picnic table overlooking the sea in front of the bach.
It has a kitchen and dining area, separate lounge, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
We use traps and poisonous baits across the park to control animal pests. Do not touch traps, bait or bait stations.
Please follow the instructions on signs, and from our park rangers and contractors.
