Conveniently located Kauri Coast accommodation only 5mins off SH 12 on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway between Dargaville and Waipoua Forest, Baylys Beach Holiday Park is the ideal stop-off point when touring Northland or base for enjoying the delightful Kauri Coast.

Baylys Beach, 14km west of Dargaville, is part of New Zealand's longest beach. The Maori name is Ripiro and the beach is 100km of golden sand, sand dunes and remote (and sometimes wild) coastline. At its southern tip it enters New Zealand's largest harbour, the Kaipara.

40km north is Waipoua Forest, the home of Tane Mahuta – NZ's largest kauri tree. The forest is a protected reserve and shows how Northland used to be. 30mins drive north along SH 12 are the turquoise waters and pure white sands of Kai Iwi Lakes. 45km south, just off SH 12, is Matakohe Kauri Museum – a must-see attraction when you are journeying from Auckland en route to Baylys Beach. The journey from Auckland takes around 2.5 hours.
