A truly lovely place, lovingly maintained. It was the cleanest campsite on our trip! There are many permanent campers, but that's not a problem.
Really lovely peaceful and sparkling clean campsite, reasonably priced. Yes, lots of residents but spacious camping spots, lots of individual cabins, kitchen, BBQ area, dated toilets and showers maybe but well maintained so why does that matter? Nice walk to the harbour for a pint in the bar. Perfick!
Not sure about spacious, but comfortable spaces, facilities really old, coins needed for washer, cold wash only, dryer at other end , no basket. Friendly lady, notes everywhere, but ok, quirky
Facilities are a bit old, but clean and sufficient in number. The camp sites are not really special, but ok. Looks indeed that there are many permanent residents.
Not sure how the comments are all so positive, the vibe of this place is dodgy. There were zero other campers here - just residents, although they kept to themselves. 2 out of the 4 hobs in the kitchen don’t work, there’s also no bins in the kitchen. The toilets weren’t clean, seats were wet. Laundry room okay, very basic. The TV room is a storage room - you can’t go in at all as it’s just full of mattresses and other random bits. Only saviour was the nice lad at reception.
Turned up just as it was getting dark off the ferry. $30 for powered site. Quite a few residents there it seems but made it feel quite homely. The facilities are definitely on the retro style but kinda like it. Bathroom was cold though and couldn’t get any hot shower water. Nice spot for 1 night though. Free WIFI which was great and doesn’t seem to the norm unfortunately at a lot of sites!
The cleaning lady was so lovely! She lent me her vacuum. I also asked nicely for an extended check out and received it. Bless ye! I stayed with my dog and it was good. I also got stuck with my van and the chap helped me out. So all in all a cheaper and most welcome stay on the long road.
We stayed a long weekend but seems to be lots of perm residents, showers/toilets dated but very clean and free. Very tight parking for campervans. Lovely gentleman served us on checkin, perm residents hooked up to power boxes when they are designated for other paid sites so had to ask office to sort that out.
Really cool holiday park! $45 for a powered site. Hot showers, kitchen and water/dump station, tv room. EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN. Some guests tent to stay connected to the water tap all day and night tho.
Best place we have been staying so far on the South Island! Everything is super clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
