Peter Snell Youth Village is a 27-acre camp and retreat facility set in native New Zealand bush and parkland on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, about 45 minutes north of Auckland.
The property overlooks the waters and islands of Mahurangi Harbour and provides access to a secluded rocky shore and sandy beach, with native birdlife throughout the grounds. The site offers two independent facilities.
The main camp building features a fully catered central dining room, dormitory wings accommodating up to 88 guests, a recreation hall with audio-visual equipment, and shared bathroom facilities. Groups are expected to bring their own bedding.
The village hosts school holiday camps for children in years 4–9 as well as group retreats, and is a popular venue for schools and youth organisations along the Hibiscus Coast.
