The gate to come in is broken - you need to scan the exit gate. A kind person staying here told us that a power fault has caused the gate and several power points to fail. Theres only one shower available due to a broken shower head but it’s hot and powerful. Would be great if there was communication about the broken parts before arrival so we don’t sit at the access for ages and rely on a paying customer to help

hot showers by using the Penny key card! you can purchase one at BP (opposite the camp site) and top up money for hot showers just outside the camp! you dont have to be a guest for this. amazing! hot showers! water will unlock once you tap your Penny key card :)

Not for us, too noisy on busy road, prefer a more scenic place.

Great and calm place to park for the night. You need to book the spot on the Penny app and then use your key to open the gate. 3$ for hot showers. The facilities were very clean.

Site feels very new and fresh, extremely clean facilities and lots of them. Well organised and lovely welcome at reception.

Super location in the town. Hokitika is a tourist town with a nice selection of shops, restaurants and cafes. Our first use of Penny sites, love them

To get a penny card you have to go to the gas station on the other side of the road. There is free wifi in the area to download go-penny, otherwise follow the instructions in the app. Otherwise a nice area that is clean and neat, but you pay to get water and use the hotplate.

Great facilities for great value. We paid $20 for the night and then additional $3 to use the shower and about $2 to properly cook on a proper stove. You have to buy the Penny card key from the BP store opposite the road but then don’t have to worry about cash anymore…

Excellent toilet, shower and laundry facilities. Pennycard required for showers and laundry. Central location in Hokitika is handy if overnighting.

Honestly not upset about the KiwiCoins, this was the cheapest place we could find and we got exactly what we needed. If you need a lot amenities it may not be ideal for you but was good for us. If you need to do laundry though definitely just go to Lizzie’s Laundry (not on the app for some reason). Don’t use the wifi though, it’s very slow. Overall we enjoyed our one night stay :)
