It's ok to stay just a few nights. Bathrooms are old but were clean and hot water in the shower works well. The kitchen was clean as well. We pay $27 for an unpowered site. The girl in reception was very nice, she gave us a lot of info about activities and discounts.

I planned to book a powered site online, but it kept saying the vehicle type didnβt match. I figured a Top 10 holiday park couldnβt possibly have no 7.5-metre spots, so I decided to try my luck on-site. I was lucky. The front desk staff were professional and polite, and quickly checked us in. Two adults, one child, and a 7.5-metre motorhome on a powered site came to NZ$63 in total. The facilities were complete. The shower water temperature and pressure were both good, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the kidsβ area was fun. In the morning we even swam in the Blue Lake. Everything was great.

Great shower! The lady behind the bar was very friendly, the shower was inexpensive, and there was unlimited hot water. The shower room was a bit small but very clean.
