DACRE COTTAGE TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS LUNCH
Sunday 8th December 2024
A three-course meal in the coastal gardens of the beautiful Dacre Cottage.
It is just the way to start the Christmas season off with friends and family and support the ongoing protection and management of such a lovely place.
How to get there:
The easiest way is on foot, just walk in from the carpark at Ara Weiti Road off East Coast Road.
A pretty but rough bush walk that takes fifteen to 20 minutes.
Kayaking or boating in is a fun way. Just anchor off the beach, the high tide is at 1.29pm. If you’re pulling your kayak onto the beach please stay as far away from the roped-off areas as we have some very rare sea birds nesting there.
Cost: $20 per person, (primary school children $10, under-fives are free)
The event is proudly supported by Canoe & Kayak who donates $1000 towards the ingredients for the lunch.
All funds go to help the Dacre Cottage Committee upkeep the Cottage, buildings, and grounds along with supporting the growing new Karepiro Beach Forest.
The committee also supports the ongoing protection of the area and the waters of the Long Bay Okura Marine Reserve and its catchments.
Bookings are limited and there will be no bookings accepted after Wednesday the 24th November, so please book early to avoid missing out. Book here.
A booking is not confirmed until payment is received in full.
