Relatively small site but right on the coast.
Could see the sea ( although we weren’t able to get a spot next to it - which meant we had more room and was good for second night when I suspect it was windy).
Showers were really powerful and hot. Handy location to drive up to Farewell spit without having to stay up there were it’s super windy. WiFi and kitchen good.

Wunderschöner Platz, auch jetzt in der Weihnachtszeit nicht zu rummelig.
Wir standen Waterfront, hatten Glück mit der Tide und konnten mit Wellengeplätscher schlafen. Tolle Facilities, insb. die Waschräume. Hier hat man quasi eine Art Waschraum mit Toilette, Waschbecken und Dusche für sich. Perfekt!
Wir können die Farewell Split Tour sehr empfehlen, aber an einem Tag hat man dann auch alles gesehen. Touren in den Abel Tasman NP sind von hier aus zu aufwändig, daher sind wir schweren Herzens eine Nacht früher abgereist und auf einen Campground direkt in Marahau gewechselt.

I honestly don’t understand the criteria for people to rate this place 5 stars!!! At least for camping, this was by far the WORST experience ever! The owners/staff just treat you as if they are doing a favor for you to be there, even paying NZ$15 pppn. Although THE OWNERS CONTEST MY REVIEWS, even having bbq and pizza oven, when I asked them to use it, the staff said it was only for guests. So, the tiny little camping kitchen was completely busy and we couldn’t have food until late that night. There is no oven available, just a small camping stove (see pics). There are written signs in the kitchen saying that cutlery and plates are available upon request on main kitchen only.
I agree with this one.
Campsite behind the barn is full of horse poo no where to pitch a tent.
And the whole site not child safe and friendly.
We had 2y 8m old child with us!
And when we tried to make them understand that site wasn't child safe the host gave us a weird look and said they are not responsible and care about child safety but that we have a watch our child like a prisoner(Wouldn't understand that child can even run away while you constantly watching them).
And my wife said after this she felt like she is being balmed for not being a good parent!!!
Host didn't bother about contacting owner to resolve the issue or for child safety.

Council owned site with new managers (8 weeks in!) doing a really great job.
Great mix of sites, we had a misunderstanding on what we needed (we’re SUV + awnings + swags, and got allocated a gravel powered hardstand) but managers went out of their way to make a site for us! Good kitchens, laundry, bathrooms are cute self contained little pods in a larger shed. Swimmable beach just around the corner and when the tides and sunsets combine it’s good sport watching the anglers from a camp chair. Will go back.

Superb site!
Why can't they all be this good? Chris is very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful - looking over the bay and Aorere River estuary to the Kahurangi National Park. The town is 2 minutes walk and there are very few bugs.
The price is only $20pp for a powered site with water, showers and dump station all free and everything works and is spotlessly clean.
The laundry has several machines, several driers and a huge communal rotary washing line. The kitchen and common areas looked very well equipped although we didn't use them.
The spotless ablutions were the best we have seen anywhere. You get a private pod with a toilet, shower, basin, mirror, shaving point, bin, soap all free with unlimited hot water. No struggling with press in taps or meters waiting to cut you off just as you get soap in your eyes. And the whole thing is protected from bitey things by your own mosquito net. How thoughtful!
We will be back.
