The walk to the beach is a steady gradient through lovely coastal forest. Once on the beach a short walk to these amazing caves. Well worth the effort. Graeme C的完整评论

This place is amazing. I've seen cathedral caves before that are more like half domes cut out of the rock by the waves. But this is a legitimate cave that goes back into the cliff side and then exits… Brian S的完整评论
Hello all. The low tide timing in the website for the days where I am planning to visit the caves would be 7:47AM and 8.32AM (two different days) I was thinking for 7.47AM, is it even possible to visit the caves when they gates would be open only at 7.30am? Or, will they make an exception and open much earlier. Anyone experienced this cave with an early low tide timing?
Hi there I am just replying to Judith K's review as she has a number of inaccuracies. The attendant is up at the car park 2 kms away from the gate that is locked. Obviously the time changes each day as it is a tidal attraction so opening and closing is controlled by the sea! And finally and most importantly the Caves are opened not for just 2 hours but actually for at least 4 hours. Its open 2 hours before low tide and 2 hours after, access dependent. If the seas are very high and their is a swell running they may delay opening for a 1/2 hour or so while it is being checked for safety but if the tide is low as it sometimes is due to full moon's influence then they can well be open 3 hours after low tide, oh and the hill you have to walk up thats steep, you actually have to walk down it first, so pretty sure you would know what you can expect while you are walking down it.

Thanks for that actually I said they can only be accessed close to low tide, so I was not implying it is at the whim of someone. When we went they only opened the gate between 8am and 10am. However the gate was going to be opened again in the late afternoon for the evening low tide. So perhaps if it is only open once in the day it is open for longer. It is good to make people aware before they start out that it is quite steep, so they know before they get there. Thanks for clarifying those things. I gave this attraction 5 stars. I know of a number of people who have missed it due to gate opening times. I wanted people to know how to check the times in advance. It is a real gem and a shame if people miss it.
