Park up at Kalikapai, Tutukaka Coast
Hosted by Kalikapai
About this space
Park your van on the hill above Sandy Bay for a night or a few. It is $15 a person a night, or give us a hand for an hour instead. Kalikapai sits at the top of the hill above Sandy Bay on the Tutukaka Coast, looking out over the sea. We live as a community, inspired by Findhorn and the Kalikalos network in Greece. The land is here all year round, and there are usually a few families or singles living on site in tiny houses, vans and cabins. Drinking water, toilets, hot showers, a kitchen, compost and greywater are all here. Power is for charging phones and laptops. There is no wifi. We welcome vanlifers to join in with community life, help with daily tasks, preparation and landscaping, or come along to a workshop. If you would like to stay longer, see our long stay and work exchange listings.
