You must have your own 4WD vehicle Steep narrow gravel road sometimes close to the edgeGood to Know
- Like many bays on Banks peninsula there is no cellphone nor internet reception once at the bay so you will be off grid during your stay.
- There are no shops in Pōhatu but Akaroa has a 4Square.
- Safe drinking water is available at the accommodation.
- There is a covered BBQ area.
- We have a games box and colouring equipment for kids and adults.
- Pōhatu is a 30 minute drive from Akaroa. No driving is allowed in the bay in the hours of darkness due to sensitive penguin habitat.
- The access road to the bay is 4WD only recommended. It is via a steep narrow gravel road which looks like a one way lane but is 2 ways, close to cliff edges with some blind corners, passing is limited at times so be prepared to back up safely for on-coming traffic.
- Family members live at Pōhatu so for any emergency situations, there is someone to call upon.
- For the safety of the wildlife there is a strict wildlife code that the guide would let you know of to respect when exploring the bay.
- We have a specific check in time to be at accommodation and to join the complementary evening penguin tour. Check with us if planning to book as sunset time changes over the season.
- No pets allowed.
- No smoking.
