Matiu/Somes Island Scientific and Historic Reserve is a tranquil retreat for wildlife and visitors alike. Maori have occupied this island for generations. In more recent times, Matiu/Somes Island has served as a human and animal quarantine station, an internment camp, and a military defence position. Thanks to the dedication of numerous individuals, groups and organisations, such as the Lower Hutt branch of Forest and Bird, Matiu/Somes Island Charitable Trust, Friends of Matiu/Somes and Eastbourne Forest Rangers, Matiu/Somes Island once again represents a refuge, this time for wildlife and our cultural heritage.

campervan-sites with a bush backdrop and extensive grassed area with picnic
tables. The amenities block houses a small modern kitchen with two islands
of hot plates and a microwave; a TV/dining room and bathrooms with two
showers (disabled access) and two toilets each. If you don’t feel like cooking,
pay a visit to the licensed restaurant/bar on-site. A dump station is provided.
