Maybe Jacob should have a couple of levelers when he goes camping. Sure the place is a bit dated but found everything clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for walking and very nice grounds
A great area, owners are super friendly and the amenities are nice. Would definitely recommend.
The worst campground I’ve stayed at in New Zealand, possibly in my life.nnWe arrived at 5:15 shortly after the office closed at 5:00. The sign on the front door said to call a number to reach a staff member if needed - which I did, as we needed to know which campsite to park at, whether there was a dump site on premises, etc. I tried calling the number but the call wouldn’t go through. I texted the number as well, no response. Sent an email to their email address, telling them that my call wouldn’t go through, still no response. Finally, after we’d already checked out the next morning, got an email reply saying “If you had called into the office you would have seen the host number on the door is different to the office number.” I’m honestly not sure what this even means, but in my email I told them that my call wouldn’t go through, so I’m not even sure how this is relevant - and it certainly didn’t answer any of the questions I had in the body of the email.nnAnyways, the campsite itself was a wreck. There was a small map on the office door telling us a general area to park, but no markings or signage on any of the camp spots. Just a hilly and uneven patch of grass somewhat near the power stand. The showers were gross - the water had a strong metallic odor, similar to unfiltered well water. Being in the shower for 20 seconds made you smell like a bag of rusty coins no matter how much soap you used. After about 2 minutes, water pooled up, the drains completely clogged. The kitchen smelt even worse - there were multiple backpacks lying on the floor that made the entire area reek of body odor. There was old food all over, dirty dishes in the sink and on the stove, strange piles of coins, etc. The smell was so bad you couldn’t be in there for more than a minute, even after opening all the windows. The “clean” dishes were disgusting, we had to thoroughly wash every item before use - cups, pans, plates, etc. The issue was that this sink water, too, reeked a metallic scent, so all of our food and drink tasted like metal despite having been scrubbed with soap. On the walk from campsite to bathroom, there was old food all over the ground - orange peels, yogurt cases, etc.nnOverall, the place felt like a holiday camp that was abandoned years ago. I’d be disappointed if this was a free campsite, but paying $50+ just adds insult to injury. If you’re looking for a place to camp around here, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, this place is disgusting.
$23 per person, per night for an unpowered site. I guess some people can afford that. We can’t. #price And you can only book two weeks in advance.
We loved it, our kids loved it! Our older kids had camp 2 so was awesome had its own kitchen and lounge area. Huge area! But had so much fun! Thanks to Hemi, Will, Rebecca, Honey and team!!! We appreciate everything you did for us during our stay!!!
