About this place

Ngarunui Track is a short walk starting from Bryant Memorial Reserve.

The route

Access is from Wainui Road along the coast south west of Raglan. From the car park beside the Bryant Home Children’s Bible Camp, follow the steps down to a well formed track through a small patch of coastal forest, with tree ferns, nikau palm, kawakawa and kowhai in abundance. A lookout platform once stood a third of the way down the track. This was removed because of safety concerns. There are steps down to Ngarunui Beach and you can walk along the seashore to Wainui Reserve (administered by Waikato District Council). There are toilets at Wainui Reserve and also Manu Bay. There is an alternative access to the Ngarunui Track via 50 steps from Earles Place (limited parking). Ngarunui Beach (also known as Wainui Beach and Ocean Beach) is the main Raglan beach for swimming, surfing and picnicking. The surf patrol operates about 200 m from the track entrance to the beach.
