Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Lovely beach, much quieter than I expected especially since we visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Took a few minutes to find roadside parking. Perfect for a long walk along the coast. Lots of options for coffee or ice cream …

    The cave rock is huge and nice to walk through if you’re there, but I would not go especially to see this.

    Scenic spot to chill out. Watch the waves breaking, maybe dotted with a few surfers. Take a stroll along the pier towards the favourite fishing spots at the far end, or a wander along the extensive sandy shoreline. Beautiful views, especially to the south. Public hot pools close by also.

    The view is breathtaking. It is well worth the drive to see this part of New Zealand. Be aware that it can be very windy. NZ is one of the prettiest countries I have visited. Beauty everywhere!

    It's amazing how you forget what's in your back yard .I'm christchurch east born and breed .and the beach is still an amazing place to seek comfort with a good friend as the water laps at your legs and the sun warns your soul . The beach was clean with just the normal sea things washed up .And the surf club on duty .so go enjoy what's on your back yard at the beach
