Official facebook page for the Department of Conservation Kauaeranga Visitor Centre
The Department of Conservation Kauaeranga Visitor Centre is located about 9km out of Thames along the Kauaeranga Valley Road. It serves as the main DOC visitor centre for both the Kauaeranga Valley and the rest of the Coromandel Peninsula.
The visitor centre is filled with informave displays about the history and nature of the valley. We provide information to visitors about the valley and other DOC managed areas of the Peninsula. We also have a gift shop and drinks and ice creams.
The Kauaeranga Valley provides access to the Pinnacles hut (the largest DOC hut in New Zealand), as well as 8 campgrounds, the Kahikatea powered site, 4 backcountry campgrounds and Crosbies hut.
It also has a number of beautiful walks and plenty to see, including our replica Kauri Dam, Hoffmans Pool and the huge Cookson Kauri tree.
