Owner had recently died, so family were trying to run it from Hamilton. Meant I had to pay in cash in an honesty box. Cash available at the petrol station for a small fee. About half the sites were permanent and nobody was home. So I had the whole place to myself. Kitchen, toilets and wash house all dated but clean and tidy. The weather was brilliant and kawhia was lovely.

Fantastisk sted, faciliteter er fint, især i betragtning af prisen på denne lejr sammenlignet med de andre i området. Har ikke mødt ejeren, da han ikke var omkring, men stadig meget venlige og lydhør via e-mail!

Ejeren er meget rart og hjælpsom. Vi ankom spontant og ret sent og var i stand til at få et sted med elektricitet. Om aftenen kørte vi til Hot Water Beach, ca. 3 km væk.

Hvis du leder efter en powered site ikke gå her, hvis der har været masser af regn, da det oversvømmelser. Vi kørte fra Auckland, desværre var der ikke noget sted for os at gå.

Stayed here one night at an unpowered sight and had a great experience! Clean facilities including showers and kitchen. Great value for money plus owner Garry was very friendly! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic Motor Camp!! Just spent a night here! Garry the host was such a nice, down to earth chap and really knowledgable and helpful about the area. We had an unpowered site, plenty of space and the grounds were kept immaculate, great facilities and just a 5 minutes walk down to the waterfront. Loved it! Thanks for having us! Find us at www.

Everything is very clean but we are a little tight as sardines. The owner is very friendly and the showers hot. Good as an emergency campsite

Sorry about that comment by that lady she was very rude because I haven’t updated the website

The guy managing the place is quite rude and hostile. He is falsely and boastfully, knowingly advertising the fee per night online, then charges more when you arrive. Then argues that is not false advertising and walks away from you. The campsite is awful for tents anyway.

Cheaper campsite than the other one. Paid per campervan parking for 2 people. Clean facilities and good working condition. Its just no shade from the sun, can't really stay there during the day even inside the van.
