P.O.P

Park over Property

Experience the newest boutique Park over Property on the Wild West Coast.

We offer 5 private parking spaces of varying sizes with access to water (Best to filter this for drinking). There is also a firepit in the field behind the parks for you to use. You are free to fossick in the bush or bring driftwood from the beach. There are also herbs and occasionally vegetables such as lettuce and silver beet that you can help yourself to while you stay (please consider others and only harvest what you need)

Pets are welcome, please make sure they are well controlled as there are cows next door and I have an elderly cat. There are also friendly weka and wild goats who come down off the mountain every day.

There is a well-maintained, mown track to the beach 5 minutes down the road just south of Golden Sands Road

Future plans include a covered area with Pizza oven or coal range that can be used to cook on, outdoor shower with a bottle wall and possibly a bush bath for hire.

We had an overnight here. Nice and quiet. Close to impressive bush. Got in and out with our caravan without a problem. Fed the cows. Walked over the road with friendly host and watched the sunset on the beach.
