Oamaru
We like staying at the A & P Grounds when we are in Oamaru, shopping, etc. are handy to site.
We needed to get the Jimny serviced at Suzuki, they did a good job last year.
We found the horn wasn't working and we already had the motorhome and Jimny booked into Banks Auto Electrical because the indicators etc. weren't working when hooked up to the motorhome. It was a quick and easy fix for them to replace the Jimny horn and find the fault with the motorhome. It was a cheap fuse holder that was used when we had the towbar installed making an intermittent fault that can be hard to find. Great service Banks Auto Electrical, thanks guys.

Kakanui Beach
This is a lovely beach to visit not far from camp. We walked as far as we could as it went on forever it is dog friendly and they loved it.

| It is like sand but is more of a tiny stone beach before the Kakanui River outlet |
 |
| Small attractive village and the beach here is OK for swimming |
 |
| Most of the houses are over the Kakanui River Bridge |
