Heading south from Mangawhai
The only shop in Pakiri is at the office at the Camping Grounds. The next section of the trail is steep up-and-down and is quite hard going.
505 Rodney Road allows campers ( $10 )
Matt's place along 107 Govan Wilson Road ( Mobile : 0212057404 )is a comfortable distance for a 1 day walk from Pakiri.
Camping $20. You'll get a free drink, and a hot shower and if the weather is bad you can use the barn.
It comes out on State Highway One at the 'Top of the Dome' Cafe which has been closed since 2019
Apparently you can take shelter there but the electricity is no longer on so the pump for water is no longer working.
