This park was gifted by Pierre and Jackie Chatelanat in 2006 for the public to enjoy access to
this part of the Kaipara Harbour. It is the largest farm park in the council network, being 340
hectares.
More than a third of the park is covered by mature and regenerating native forest.
It consists of rolling pasture, majestic stands of rare and ancient native forest, wetlands and
panoramic harbour views.
There are many native birds that live here in the forest, scrublands, pasture, shoreline and
salt marshes.
Many of the paddocks are named after distinctive features or people who have shaped the
development of the farm.
We will walk the Oruawharo River Trail and Kauri Point Tracks which will take approx. 4.5
hrs plus food stops.
This route allows us to explore the whole park with plenty of amazing views along the way,
pass by the Courtyard House and enjoy a good workout with the varied topography.
