Quiet and tranquil, overlooking the sea

Tinopai is a quiet settlement in the Northern Kaipara Harbour. Tinopai means Very Good, and so it is! Good swimming, the water's so clean, being close to the Heads. The Matakohe Museum is a must, top class! The locals are really nice, we hope you get to know them. If you have a boat, great fishing 1 km up the estuary (exact spot is classified information). There's a wharf from which to fish if you are a landlubber. If you're fit, Mt Tokatoka is worth a climb, to view the Kaipara all the way to Dargaville. If you're a stargazer, the night sky is an astronomer's dream.
There is an Alpaca farm to visit at 308A Arapaoa Road, $30 per vehicle. A delightful experience!
The bach itself is set on half an acre, with a small bush walk at the bottom. Sleeps six comfortably. There is a wee caravan (which the kids fight over) on site.
