Stayed the night as had to get up early for fishing and was really close to wharf.
Got in late and had to leave early, so left and was going to return after fishing. Received a polite note on campervan to remind us to come back and pay.
We returned and were aloud to shower and fill up water and dump waste.
Nice people and great location.

Hi Jessie, sorry you didnt feel our site was of value. You stayed in our Park in mid January which is right in the middle of New Zealand's school holidays and this is our peak season. The Park engages environmental sustainability practices which includes being responsible with our water and energy consumption, this ensures everyone gets a hot shower 7 minute when they want it. We look forward to seeing you again when you visit our beautiful area.
