    A quiet nicht place.

    Friendly wellcome.

    Showers and toiletts could be renovated, but are clean.

    On my stay a gardener was heavy working with his grasscutter for an hour at 8 p.m. not so cute.

    Internet 5$ for 1 GB, but not working as it should.

    Was apprehensive booking considering due to bad reviews, but place was great.

    Parked motorhome on gravel site that had small grassed picnic area. Kids loved the pool, clean and warm. Small lounge area, not that we used it. Kitchen had two stoves, microwave, toasters, one kettle and a couple of sinks. A couple of large covered BBQ areas. Friendly atmosphere.

    18,50$ pP unpowered tent site.

    WiFi charges additional 5$ for 1gb data. You can get power from the TV room. Kitchen is available with oven and fridge, didn't try the hot springs but they looked enjoyable. Very friendly owner! They really care about you.

    $40 for a powered site, decent toilets and kitchen block but only 2 showers per gender so gets busy.

    Campervan spots relatively squished together so not much privacy. Very convenient for Hobbiton.

    Pool is nice and the warm pools are a good feature but WiFi is extra.

    Called ahead prior to our arrival in our camper, friendly and helpful over the phone, choose us the perfect site to stay, very clean, peaceful location and the pools were a great temp for this time of

    the year. We were going to stay another night but due to circumstances we had to leave early, we will be definitely going back in the future........

    I stayed here because it was the closest available campsite near Hobbiton.

    I stayed only for 1 night.

    Personal was friendly.

    Not enough showers and toilets (only 2 men, 2 women) although I just say there was no queue.

    Wifi was bad, and there was no Vodafone reception so I had to go to Matamata for contact with home.

    Price was on the high side and it included use of the spring, which I did not do because it was only to spent the night.

    Some permanent residents in caravans here as well.

    In the 2nd month of our 3 month tour of New Zealand and have stayed at holiday camps most nights.

    This one is great. Friendly and helpful staff, nice hot spring pools to relax in, and clean units.

    Very kind woman at reception.

    Camping has some perks like 3 hot pools outdoor, with some leaves in it but still cool. Changing room right there.

    Bathroom are simple and clean, hot water running unlimited.

    The camping is not very fashion or modern but works good, it is in the middle of nowhere so make our stay nice at the winter night watching starts in the pools.

    The earlier reviews were right.

    This site has great potential but is very tired. There are just two showers for each sex. It has a separate toilet block in which one door lock was worn out, a cold tap didn’t work and the mirror is set for men of 5ft in height!

    Overall the facilities are just OK but I would recommend you bulldoze the lot and start again. Take an example from the some of the Top Ten campsites.

    OK place.

    Not the cheapest. Facilities were okay but pool was quite dirty at the end of the day.
