There are approximately 650 homes.Much of this area is made up of a variety of reserves and coastal foreshore land accessible to the public administered by the Gisborne District Council.The largest tract of public land, the W.D. Lysnar Reserve, runs the length of the seaward side of Moana Road.

A major portion of the Wainui-Makorori headland is also reserve along with other smaller areas of land providing beach access along the residential areas of Wairere Road and Pare Street .

These reserves fringe the foreshore of Wainui Beach and provide critical foreshore protection. The dune system protects the coastline and developments against erosion. Wainui Beach is known for its natural beauty, stunning vistas, nationally renowned surfing conditions and easy accessibility. 

Makorori Beach is stunning with a very calming and peaceful atmosphere. The beach is great for surf, safe swimming and golden sand. Perfect spot for picnics.
