- Dogs welcome; five minutes’ walk from a park with a duck pond
Weary travellers driving around the south-western coast of North Island rest at… Traveller Rest, a small, family-friendly site in the pretty resort of Foxton Beach. Level touring pitches have both gravel (for your vehicle) and grass, so you can feel nature under your toes as you set up the barbecue or open a deckchair to relax with a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in hand…
Traveller Rest benefits from a pretty excellent location. Most things you are likely to need on a day-to-day basis can be found within a short drive (some within a short walk), starting with a supermarket (five minutes’ drive), continuing with dining establishments (there are two restaurants, a fish-and-chips takeaway and a café within a 15-minute walk) and ending with a sandy beach just over a kilometre away (a 15-minute walk). Don’t fancy lugging your gear all the way to the beach? The beach car park is a five-minute drive from the site, and once there all you need to do is cross the vegetation-covered dunes and you’re on the surf.
There is loads more to keep you entertained during your coastal break, including a large green area with a duck pond, a skate park and a pump track (five minutes’ walk) and forested mountain-bike trails (20 minutes by bike).
The site welcomes well-behaved dogs on leads, and pitches come with electric and water connections. However, please note that there is no chemical disposal point on site, so a self-containment certificate is required.

Local attractions
If you need to take the activity level down a notch, head for the Manawatu Estuary Bird Sanctuary (10 minutes’ walk), on the river of the same name. In this area of protected wetlands, you might spot migrating godwits flying all the way from Alaska, as well as spoonbills.
The Te Manawa Museum in Palmerston North (40 minutes’ drive) has artworks, natural history artefacts and technological objects, as well as heritage and ethnographic displays from the Pacific region.
Travel inland to Arapuke Forest Mountain Bike Park (50 minutes) for a glorious network of trails for all ages and abilities (going up to a hair-raising Grade 6) – all of them surrounded by lush forested mountains.
