Motu Moana Camp is a group camp in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland, on 25 acres of bush overlooking the Manukau Harbour. The camp has been owned by Scouts Aotearoa since 1941. It is about 20 minutes from the airport and the CBD, but feels like a quiet bush setting. The camp hosts family reunions, school camps, corporate events, weddings and team retreats, with four accommodation lodges for different group sizes. One upmarket lodge sleeps up to six and is fully serviced on request.
Youth Town runs the outdoor activities and school camp programmes on site. Guests can walk the bush, go bird spotting, walk down to the beach, use the waterslide or try Challenge Valley. The camp has function rooms, halls of various sizes and a chapel on site, and it can tailor a package with catering. Bookings and enquiries are made through the website or by calling 0800 MMSCAMP, and the team aims to reply within 24 hours. Our pick in Blockhouse Bay for a group camp with bush and harbour views.
