Welcome to
Ashley - Rakahuri Gorge



A riverside family escape filled with nature, laughter, and unforgettable fun — from walking tracks and live music to train rides, coffee, and moments families love.

Discover the Gorge on Foot

Ashley Gorge Holiday Park is surrounded by a network of walking tracks that showcase the very best of the region’s native bush, river landscapes, and elevated viewpoints. These tracks are a major drawcard for visitors, offering everything from gentle riverside strolls to invigorating climbs.

Walk the Ashley Gorge Loop Track, cool off at the end of the Waterfall Track, take in sweeping views from the Skyline Track, wander among ancient tōtara on the Totaranui Track, or let the kids explore the enchanting Fairy Track.

The reserve also features a brand‑new wheelchair‑accessible track, created with the generous support of local sponsors and volunteers. This smooth, easy pathway opens the Gorge to visitors of all mobility levels, making the beauty of the reserve more inclusive than ever.

No matter which track you choose, every path offers fresh air, birdsong, and a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Natasha - Cozy Pod Stay

We stayed in the gorgeous cozy Pod. It was so quiet, the native birds were everywhere and the walks and scenery just amazing. The camp owners were so accommodating and friendly. Nothing was a problem and the kitchen and toilets were spotless. We will be back

Stu - What a turn around!

stayed here 2 years ago and wasn't that impressed.

But now, WOW what a difference!

so much cleaner, tidier and friendlier!!

new caretakers/owners are superb, nothing is a problem and the facilities have clearly had a long overdue refurb.

cute little camping-ground dog in the park too

highly recommended
