The first nudist club you pass when driving into Auckland from the south, or the last when leaving. Counties Sun Club sits on Ramarama Road in rural Ramarama, just off the southern motorway. It describes itself as a small, friendly club and a quiet, safe retreat in the country. It welcomes new members and overseas and INF-holder campers. Pricing and availability are given on request, by email at countiessunclub@gmail.com or through its Facebook page.
One visitor, a first-timer, says the club is relaxed and free of judgment, and that they felt among old friends. Another says the stay was enjoyable and calls it a great little out of the way naturist club. A third says they were turned down for membership and felt no reason was given. Being just off the motorway, the club is close to the road but set well back in the country. Our pick in Ramarama for a quiet, unhurried day away from the city.
