Bungalow Bay Camping
Camping at Bungalow Bay Koala Village in Horseshoe Bay enhanced my overall experience of the Island due to the prolific wildlife in and around the campgrounds. Add a great atmosphere and good facilities, including a lovely pool and they get a tick from me.
This was also a good base to explore the Island from with the walking trail heads not very far from the campground.
Here are images of the wildlife I encountered during my stay at the campground
Walking Trails
Friendly people
Not only did I enjoy the wildlife & scenery of the island, my experience was enhanced by the people I met, from the friendly local I my vehicle was lined up next to on the ferry ride over, the staff working in the businesses and fellow travellers.
In particular I want to mention the following people:
Kahurangi who I met on a walking trail. Kia Kaha Kahu, all the best for your future plans on the island.
Paloma & Javiera for your friendship & for allowing me to ‘tour’ your camper/home.
Also wonderful to meet you John, I look forward to learning where you decide to live and to receiving some of your poetry!
