Motuarohia Island (Roberton Island), Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
Good shelter and holding. A spacious anchorage. As there were other boats closer in, we anchored in 12m. A wide bay open to the south.
Private both east and west ends, but middle is Department of Conservation owned. No animals allowed. The lagoon on the north side of isthmus has an underwater guided trail. The lagoon almost dries out at low tide.
A track and boardwalk climbs to the historic pa site starts at the western end and goes up through the bush. The walk takes 15 minutes and reaches a great view point.
