    Great little campsite!

    Nice big pitches, lots of beautiful trees and birds all around (including the campsite chicken!) all facilities nice and clean and tidy, with a nice big kitchen area and a lovely cafe a few doors down.

    Fantastic campground run by two lovely friendly people (Matt and Bert).

    Facilities were impeccable and a range of sites available to choose for our small caravan.

    Beautiful campground with very nice and friendly host.

    Nice walk towards a viewpoint with stunning view of the bay and the sea.

    Wifi limited to 500 MB, good reception.

    Grassy area, everything is kept clean spotless. Kitcherig equipped with cutlery and plates etc.

    Would certainly recommend this campground.

    We had a great time here!

    The facilities are very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. Even a French Press we were very happy about :)

    There is also a big common area with a nice comfortable sofa.

    The owners, Bert and Matt, are probably two of the nicest human beings on this planet. Matt welcomed us and our dog in the evening and gave us some beautiful tracking recommendations for the next day - the rocky beach is just a two minutes walk away and a track starts there.

    We originally planned on only staying a night but enjoyed it so much here that we extended our stay (which was no problem at all).

    Would happily stay here again.

    Road was partielle open, depends of the hours.

    No staff when we arrived, when you call no one picked the phone. There is a board witch indicate free spots and booking to come if you want to park but it's not clear at all. Better to book before.

    Überaus empfehlenswert!

    Der kurze Umweg lohnt sich wenn man mal etwas zur Ruhe kommen will.

    Die gut eingerichtete Küche ist überaus ordentlich.

    Ebenso wie das Badezimmer.

    Die Besitzer ist sehr nett und doch unaufdringlich. Ich hatte leider nur einen Tag Zeit sonst wäre ich auf jeden Fall noch eine Nacht geblieben.

    Beautiful campsite with great common area and kitchen.

    2 min walk to the beach and a tramp up the hill behind the campsite. Owner was very nice and the honey we bought from the stand out from was delicious. No cell service but free 400mb wifi. Clean showers and toilets.

    Great quiet spot off the beaten path.

    Owner was very nice and accommodating. Bathrooms & showers were nice and clean. The rock beach was just a minute or two walk and a perfect spot for a swim or sunset wine walk. Also close to the trail up the mountain, but was closed when we were there due to fire risk. Overall awesome spot!

    We spent our last night on the South Island there on our way to Picton from Abel Tasman.

    Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Camp was quiet at the time of our visit (end Feb). We enjoyed our stay here very much and would definitely stay again!!!

    Charming find on a remote road.

    Very close to the pebble beach on the Pepin Island causeway.

    Divided into a few sections so you don’t feel crowded in. Each site is on a slightly different level so you feel private. Ablutions are really good and clean. Did not use laundry but saw machines.

    WiFi is free and each voucher gives 300MB but not always reliable connection. Small kitchen area with not much area should many campers be in at same time. Has barbecue that can be used.

    Very peaceful. Zero noise after dark.
