BBQ Spots in New Zealand

"I love Monkey Island! This place has it all from a fantastic picnic area, beach, fire pits and great shelter to protect against the winds. At low tide Monkey Island can be reached by foot and has amazing views of the mountains. A perfect place to camp!"

"The unmilled coastal Waikawa Forest is amazing. A great BBQ spot, there are waterfalls and lovely walks to be had. Great for the family or a romantic picnic for two, this place is a fantastic destination. The one hour loop track is family friendly and you’ll discover two waterfalls and many native ferns."

"A regenerating silver beech forest, Pourakino Picnic area has access to Longwood Forest and many picnic tables. There is even a walkway that reveals historic tramlines and bridges. A BBQ spot with a whole lot of history."

"A huge reserve inland from Invercargill, Dunsdale Recreation Reserve has a lot of space to enjoy and set up a BBQ in. There are native birds galore and a great wee campsite if you wish to stay the night."

"A beautiful lake, bush walk, fishing spot and BBQ area, Lake Sylvan seems to have it all for the perfect day out. There are amazing red beech trees and the lake itself is the perfect place for a swim, just watch out for the brown trout!"
