Kaipātiki Bach at Kaipātiki

Kaipātiki Bach was the camp manager's house for many years and is now available for visitors to use. It takes its name from the original name of the land block where this reserve sits.

Located in the campground next to the Parakai Springs Hot Pools, this bach is the perfect escape if you want to relax in a homely space. It is set in a green oasis within walking distance to a thermal pool offering.

You can also use the bach as a base for your west coast adventures:

• mountain biking
• horse riding
• tree climbing
• 4 x 4 or off-road motorcycling
• beach rambles
• fishing on the Kaipara.

Alcohol is prohibited at all times.

150 Parkhurst Road, Parakai
