The most expensive campsite we stayed at with the worst facilities. Incredibly outdated and creepy feel. It wouldn't be so bad if the price wasn't $66! Kitchen smells, only some of the gas hobs worked. bathroom looks like its from the 80s. Nice setting with lots of birds singing and secluded are the only positives. Oh and you have to pay a extra $15 for having a dog so $80 a night, not worth the money.
It's a wonderful place to listen to and observe birds. The kitchen and sanitary facilities are very outdated and neglected. There's dog feces at the fresh water tap. The pitches themselves, however, make a decent impression. The campsite is too expensive for the facilities offered!
This campsite is horrible. WAY too expensive for old and unkempt facilities. It's unbelievable they're charging so much. There are only two sinks, and they're not well-maintained. The showers are disgusting, and the room is completely unheated. There's mold around the toilets. No hairdryer. The kitchen utensils are very shabby. Never again! The worst place we saw in about 20 days in all of New Zealand.
Overall very good experience. Clean flushable toilets and well lit, close to campsite. Potable water available and easy to fill. We did arrive late in winter (around 7:30pm) and was dark with no one around to give information but we eventually found our way and had no troubles overnight.
Good enough if in need. We booked very late and had some trouble because it was winter and the place was shut up tight but host walked us through over the phone and got us sorted. Also provided laundry powered from their stores for washing when we didn’t have our own and couldn’t get any from the shut office. Showers were not the best. Freezing in the room, low water pressure and lights that turn off after 3 minutes but serviceable. I’m sure it’s fantastic in summer months. All in all it works.
Great place to stay. Hosts are very nice and welcoming. There is a restaurant which has very yummy food and all the facilities were lovely. Recommend.
Very friendly staff, beautiful location, and very affordable. We paid $34 for a powered site, which is a perfectly fair price. Wi-Fi worked well. Indeed, the kitchen and bathrooms could be cleaner.
We were very happy with the facilities. Showers were hot, bathroom was clean and campsite flat and not cramped. Staff were friendly and the meal was tasty. Don't forget you are in an isolated area and prices will be higher, we needed to do washing of clothes and bodies.
Sorry to say, it is a mess. Dated apparel, weak wifi, facilities not cleaned, kitchen idem and with broken stove and no air abduction, all camper sites on gravel, showers with only one tap, etc.
Close to McLean Falls (highly recommended). Facilities a little old but clean and very friendly staff. In the kitchen there is a lack of equipment. It has Wi-Fi
