About this buoy

Smelting House Bay is located on the northern side of Bon Accord Harbour on Kawau Island, New Zealand. The area is well-known for housing the historic stone smelting house ruins from New Zealand's early copper mining era, as well as the Kawau Boating Club. The pontoon by Lidgard House is private property. We recommend Kawau Boating Club wharf if you are going ashore. RNZYS moorings are for short term rental only and should be booked for a maximum of 7 consecutive days.
