Being within nature......
Waipu Caves Farm Park is a privately owned conservation and recreation park. The jewel of the park and a major jewel of the Northland Region is the Milky Way Glowworm Cave. Kept secret for more than 100 years it was opened in 2023 and is now considered one of the best glowworm caves in New Zealand. A richly biodiverse native forest filled with karst limestone rocks with clear streams flowing down the valley past camp grounds. Come as a day visitor or stay in your motorhome, caravan or tent.

Supporting Northland Land SAR (Search and Rescue) and Police SAR.
Search and Rescue happens in NZ with the use of both the Police and the volunteers of Land SAR.
For some years Ian Fox (owner of Waipu Caves Farm Park) has been involved in Northland Land SAR, particularly in cave rescue.
From 2019 until June 2023 he was coordinator of training the cave rescue team, mostly using the various caves on the property.
In addition the Police SAR team also use Waipu Caves Farm Park 320 acre property for various training events.
With Ian stepping aside from actively coordinating training, he and Waipu Caves Farm Park still support the Northland Land SAR team and the Police SAR team with the free use of the property for training for various rescue scenario's and skills training by utilising the natural environments of caves, cliffs, bush and river along with the infrastructure of the campground, buildings, bush tracks, farm roads and paddocks etc.
