Beach wheelchair
We’ve got a beach wheelchair available for use and you can borrow it for a full day from Freyberg pool, 139 Oriental Parade. It's free of charge, and you can use it to travel on the sand and in the water at Oriental Bay.
You’ll need to show ID, and it’s best to book ahead of time. Phone 04 801 4530 for more information or to book.
