Matauri Bay was the first stop over point for our holiday where we camped for two nights. The campsite was right next to the beach and we had booked a beachfront site - you couldn't really get much closer to the beach without being on it!
There were two beaches in the area, firstly a sandy beach popular with families and we spent the afternoon on the beach and swimming in the sea.
The second beach was small pebbles and not so feet friendly! This was a more popular beach for surfers and fishing.
We climbed the hill overlooking the bays to look over the Cavalli Islands. On top of the hill is a monument to the Rainbow Warrior which was deliberately sunk off one of the islands and now a popular diving spot.
The views from the top were stunning - this is a view down Matauri Bay and the campsite (which is mainly hidden by the two lines of pine trees).
Whilst this is the view in the other direction around the coast.
Dinner was cooked on our new campstove - not a bad location to cook and eat!
