Big kuri or Toitoi Bay are pretty sheltered, dependent on weather and swell direction. Can land in them by boat, been into Big Kuri a couple of times in ours, it has a pretty nice wee beach. Toitoi leads into a river and you can nose up into that a bit at low tide to get shelter. Other than that your options are a bit limited till you get down the coast further to Pegasus etc.
Walked into Toitoi Flat a couple of years back, didn't really hunt, just wandered and I think it was about 8-9 deer I bumped into. They were quiet as too. One was a buck which ghosted through the crown fern and regrettably I took too long to get a bead on him expecting him to cross through a hollow in front of me, but he turned behind a tree and scarpered directly away from me instead!
