Facilities include a kitchen/dining area and a big common room with an enormous projection TV. Internet access and Wi-Fi is available and there’s a barbecue area outdoors. Snacks and various sundries are sold at reception. The Ahipara Backpackers & Motor Camp is a five minute walk to Ninety Mile Beach and about 15 km from Kaitaia.
