Kimihia is situated inside the Groynes with easy access to a number of fantastic natural resources, but tucked away from public access. Kimihia is a fabulous place for camping. Suitable for tenting and outdoor activities it is accessed through the “The Groynes” in Johns Road, Belfast. This site is perfect for camping and is set up with a small shelter, camping near the shelter, water and toilets. The site however has no power - made for people that want to go full camping but within Christchurch. Camping is available through booking with Girl Guiding NZ (property@ggnz.org.nz). 

The Groynes has a permanent PAPO orienteering course. For school groups and corporate training we can run these for you.
