Go out of your way to visit this spot. It’s not just a campsite—it’s a wonderland. A portal to another world filled with nostalgia and whimsy. The grounds are beautiful, the kitchen is charming, and Fritz and Debbie are incredible company over a cuppa. PUT THIS ON YOUR HOLIDAY MUST DO’S

Debbie & Frits were incredibly kind and welcoming hosts and have a beautiful place. Great yarns, warm vibes and the coolest little music room. Cannot recommend enough. Will be back to visit :)

Terako Downs is amazing! The hosts are by far the best part. They are holding all sorts of events and festivals and have such a beautiful peaceful property, best campsite in the south island by far! Their Little dog Django is a cutiepie too 🥰

One of the best campsites I have found in the South Island. My wife and I love it and return as often as possible, usually with a group of like minded friends. Always lots of fun, the music evenings are amazing Debbie & Fritz are fantastic hosts who always seem to be going the extra mile to ensure guests are well looked after.

Wonderful restful place to stay, great hospitality, quiet rural location, view of Mt Lyford, recommend this camping spot.

This was really something special. Everything was in deed somewhat retro and thus the whole atmosphere was unique. I can especially recommend the place for bikers e. g. doing the Hurunui trail. Last but not least: Debbie and Fritz are heard and soul of the whole thing and this you will always realise.

Very peaceful and welcoming site in a beautiful setting. Drop toilets and a small kitchen are on site, but the highlight of the site is the iconic lounge filled with 60s and 70s furniture and memorabilia.

Beautiful place and welcoming by the owner Fritz! Serene, calm and nice views. Only dry toilets, a small kitchen, a little playground, cool retro museum, and sweet co-campers around. Bring cash (they do bank transfer too).

Truely a camper's dream come true! You'll feel like you're entered a parallel universe;) So amazed of this hidden gem in the middle of nowhere in beautiful nature. Highly recommend detour, come here when on the South Island! 20$ night/van.LOVE the quirky common area with kitchen, fireplace, Hifi with great CDs, vintage museum/collection. Can park your campervan on the grass in the garden & there are outside toilettes. Debby& Fritz are such lovely hosts, made us feel so welcome. Place to be:)
