Waikato Parking Lot

The entrance is closed off due to a significant washout, so we had to clamber down the hill to get to the beach. The bonus was that we were the only ones there on the mos ... more

So tranquil. Perfect

Good

Nice big Carpark, free all day parking so perfect for whatever you are doing

Netter freedom camping, direkt an der Attraktion (Translated by Google) Nice freedom camping, directly at the attraction

The best thing about this carpark was not the parking for cars, but rather the real fruit ice cream caravan run by a genuine kiwi bloke.

Quick and easy and close to the CBD

Wonderful place.... Just go there!

(Translated by Google) Walk down from the parking lot for about 10 minutes, and continue down for another 10 minutes to reach the bottom to take the most beautiful photos ... more

Impressive, hot and probably acidic.

Great to still have one of these around. It's pretty full though so I hope it gets collected soon..

Nice freedom camping spot right next to the sea. Road busy durning the day but quites down at night. Lovely beach to walk along or if you like fishing to cast a line out.

Relaxing atmosphere great for family outing

Stunning pet friendly beach

Good walking. Especially with your Dog on leash.

Beautiful

Good upgrade on toilets since the last time i was there in 2019. Beach is always nice for a dive with either with a speargun or just a knife. Or relax and surfcast.

Impossible to review, as the several times over the last couple of years we've headed up, the gate has been locked, regardless of what the operating hours state online. P ... more

Nice big carpark. Right next to the lake, boat ramp and public toilets. Plently of parking for larger vehicles with trailers or campervans/RVs

Although Cherry Island itself is closed this is a lovely spot to park up in and watch the Bungy Jumpers.

Awesome new carpark. Parking for the dog exercise area, kids pump bike track and free style bike park

This is one horrible carpark if you have a large car watch your rims just look at the tire marks on the corners take them as wide as you can.

Great free parking spot. Walk down to the river lovely.

Very hard to navigate the carpark in a larger vehicle

We stayed in this car park in a self contained campervan overnight as it was in close proximity to the start of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing which we drove to and comple ... more
