Although a small regional park compared to other nearby parks, it offers a great vista once you hike up to the top of the rolling hills. It’s not a rough hike but can be very muddy & slippery after rain.

This is a beautiful place!!! We spent three wonderful hours walking on the beach and looking at the historical buildings with interesting videos accessed by QR codes at each building narrated by Joan Scandrett.

Beautiful ride from Snells Beach. Hills of course but manageable. Roads are nice and quiet.

Great walking available through sheep paddocks > close the gates :) Many native birds present. Clean toilets, big carpark. Old house with a lovely garden you are free to roam - interesting stories of the family & farming history to accompany your visit.

Nice place to relax and walk

Good Bird-view sight. A peaceful and stunning beach and not crowed, facility and nearby shops are limited.

Amazing outlook - the water is like glass

Gorgeous views, great place for families. Quiet and peaceful. Beach is shallow for a long way so really good place for less confident swimmers. White sand with shells, good for kids shell hunting. Rock pools are good for sealife exploring.

Really nice place for hiking. Different levels, somewhere you need to put a bit more effort to walk (hillsides). Stunning views, pastoral landscapes with sheep. Fishing is closed.

Stayed here in one of their self contained camper spots. Absolutely stunning views, and lovely park to walk around, plus historic buildings and a lovely beach. Definately worth a look!

Magnificent sheltered cove. Great swimming and walking tracks. Three baches on the beach can be booked for stays through the Auckland Council website Check out the old Scandrett Homestead next to the carpark. It contains some nicely curated information on the Scandrett's family's 160 years of living and farming in the area.

Peaceful and relaxing, see some history and take in the views. There's plenty to see, and some great trails. Highly recommend.

Stayed at the SCC campsite here for one night, the park was beautiful and we had an amazing view from the campsite. The only reason I gave a 4 star review was that the campsite was very small and uneven, as we were the only people staying we could park on the small part of flat ground. I imagine if the campsite was full it could be quite annoying!

Beautiful, quiet place with great views over the Bay.

Simply, the beautiful area of the north island.

Very nice place, highly recomend!

Lovely place to visit. You can relax, swim, walk,picnic, etc. Information available on the locations history.

A lovely reserve - beautiful and peaceful with easy walks and seascapes. Very interesting historical farm. Basic visitors infrastructure, lots of parking.

Beautiful park with a fascinating history that has been very well preserved. Well worth a day trip from Auckland.

A must do for a day visit nice walks, swimming and historical facts. Great for campervaning views are amazing

Very interesting history. Lovely beach. No Toilet. I wish the homestead had been open to view

Great spot. Love it here. Safe swimming. Recommended visiting.
