Parks & Nature
This is one of our favourite places. Park at the end of Urquharts bay and follow the signs walking over the crest on your left. It is well worth it, in summer make sure you take togs and a picnic. If you are feeling energetic, turn right at the start of the walk and walk around the head land. There are old army lookouts to explore. Keep following the path and you end up at Smugglers Cove. Kiwi magic at its best.
