Arrived late in the afternoon in our motorhomes to camp for the night. Incredible backdrop of snow covered mountains and beautiful gardens. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The meals were delicious and very generous in size. Great facilities . Highly recommend staying or stopping for a meal. We're happy little Vegemites!! From the Aussie 6

This place is awesome. $20 for a campervan unpowered site and $4 for a hot shower. Great value. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly. We stayed 2 nights in the end as enjoyed the first night so much. Nice to be able to buy a beer and hot chips in the bar too. The people who run the place are very friendly and do a great job.

Impressive yard up, historic Irish pub although lacked cream (Guinness) on tap, good facilities. Can pay for hot showers but I had mine cold for free like a mad man ygm. Overall easy campsite

Good site. Would stay again

Cannot praise this place highly enough, the staff are so incredibly kind and the grounds are so beautiful. $20 for an unpowered site, absolutely heaps of room - was nowhere close to filling up. We had to stay an extra night as our tour got rescheduled, when we walked in the owner had our drinks ready on the bar. Great vibes. Can use the bathrooms until the pub closes around 9pm, showers available (free for cold, $4 for hot requiring 2x $2 coins)

Really lovely staff. We didn’t want to bother with the freedoms sites in the area because of the strict by laws and limited space. We were concerned we weren’t going to find anything but if you drive 13 minutes from the town centre, you get here. They’re very welcoming for camper vans. Both powered and non powered sites available. $20/car not per person which was a bonus (we are 5 people). Flat ground, near cows, lovely restaurant and well kept grounds. Would recommend!

good camp in the grounds of the hotel enjoyed a big portion meal at the hotel too nice and quiet back drop of the mountains 30$ for powered for two people for the night very friendly staff toilet and shower facilities were great and clean didn’t need to book but went to check in in the pub

A great camping spot, loads of spaces so you could get here any time, just go to the bar to pay, staff are all really nice and the pub is lovely, bathrooms are great with free cold showers or $4 for 4 minutes hot showers, the bar can give you $2 coins, would really recommend! $20 per vehicle for unpowered or $30 per vehicle for powered

I’m surprised at all the positive reviews. It’s a carpark in an old cattle yard. Half the toilets/ showers were out of use when we arrived and by morning everything was pretty unusable but that probably says more about the campers. I spent a lot of my youth camping in actual Donegal campsites in Ireland and this place was very reminiscent of 1980s Ireland camping facilities-not a good thing! Worst place we stayed in our South Island trip. And the food was not good

Good location just outside kaikoura. Good value at $20 a night. We had cows come over to say hello (behind a fence)! Facilities clean. Pints good.
