                                                      NOTE: Motuora is a Restoration Reserve. There are kiwi and penguins nesting on the island. It is                                                             important that you do not transport unwanted pests and seeds to the island. Check your boat                                                                   rodents, skinks and ants. And particularly all the velcro on your equipment and garments for seeds.


Book asap as these are both small camps.

What to bring: 
See the camping equipment link above.
In addition - 
* A flower to float and sink during the ANZAC ceremony - Preferable organic as we don't want to add trash to our waterways.
* Nibbles to share pre dinnertime in the evenings. Chips and dips work well but some people get quite creative. Your choice of          alcohol also.
*  Some thing to share for dinner on Saturday night. We don't coordinate this and it usually works out.
