Auckland Outdoor Naturist Club is a volunteer-run naturist club at 59 Munroe Road in Ranui, Waitākere, in West Auckland. The club is a not-for-profit charity and an affiliate of the New Zealand Naturist Federation. Its 26 acres include lawns and native bush, with walks, a salt pool, a spa pool, a sauna, a barbecue area and a bar. The website says the grounds are family friendly, with a children's pool, playground, toys and trampoline. Visitors are welcome by prior appointment, and a committee member shows first-time visitors around. A day visitor fee applies, and people can apply for membership after three visits. Accommodation and camping can be booked online. The bar is open on Saturdays and Sundays, with hours that change with the season. Phone 09 833 9209.
Customers mention the salt pool and sauna most often, along with the spa pool and the barbecue. Members are described as welcoming to first-time guests, and the native bush walk is praised for its birdlife. One visitor who had applied for a day visit said they were left feeling it was not a good experience, though the account is short. Our pick in Ranui for a relaxed afternoon in the bush, with a spa and sauna.
