Fiordland Great Views Holiday Park
A paradise on Lake Te Anau Stunning views from a tranquil location close to town. A great place to stay while seeing fiordland
Fiordland Great Views Holiday Park is situated 1.2 km from Te Anau boundary. Only a 20 minute walk brings you to Te Anau town centre, the walking capital of New Zealand with famous walking trails such as the Routeburn, Hollyford and Kepler track. For a shorter walk why not try the Lakeside Path which takes around 50 minutes. If you don't feel up to a walk around town then try our London Taxi.
Lying on elevated land; The Fiordland Great Views Holiday Park offers spectacular views of Lake Te Anau and the Fiordland National Park mountains and views of the nearby Manapouri mountain ranges. Enjoy the only holiday park in Te Anau with a true country setting which is also situated next to a river for recreation. A quiet tranquil atmosphere and lovely garden setting offers the perfect spot for a relaxing family holiday.

Yes the welcome was a bit grumpy.
We turned up at 1.30. No we didn’t know check in was 2.00 and a simple explanation would have sufficed 🤬. However it is a nice site with reasonable facilities and a couple of benches with nice views. Short drive into town past the lamas!

We have just left Fiordland GREAT VIEWS Camping site and whilst we found the owner welcoming and the site beautifully kept, clean and very pretty we cannot give 10 stars because we felt totally hemmed
Inn. The site is situated off a straight stretch of the main highway with traffic travelling at fast speeds and using this road without footpaths is the only way to get anywhere. It is a shame that there is wire fencing between the campsite and ground where trees have been felled, from here you get a tiny glimpse of the lake but certainly not a GREAT VIEW.. I did go to reception to ask of there was a track but reception was closed, just a bell and note saying that if there was no reply after 2 minutes to phone a number. Seemed like a lot of trouble to bother the owner for so we abandoned our plans and stayed in the RV. I'd recommend tis place for a stopover but not somewhere to use as a base for doing much on foot I'm afraid. Only place we've found with a hanwashing sink next to the dump station though.

Very unwelcoming vibe.
Reception is closed so we had to press the button or call the number, owner stays right beside the property. Toilets are clean but feels a little scary. We used the kitchen, but half of the stove isn't working, minimal kitchen utensil was provided (only pan and pots). The boiling hot water machine is not functioning as well so you have to boil your own water. Theres laundry but without detergent and change machine (we tried to ask receptionist for change but she refused and asked us to drive down the road for change).

Nice facilities, nice views.
Good price (pay cash).
Stayed 2 nights.
(German couple- no kids)

I had to pay 50 or 60 dollar one person with tent, unpowered, on the other campings.
I arrived here for a normal price and I am very happy with this quiet, nice camping.
-
Fantastic place to stay.
Private hedged areas to park and beautiful facilities. Dog friendly too. We normally avoid holiday parks but this one is outstanding. Fully secure with a swipe card too.

We travel all over NZ in our motorhome, I would rate this camp as our favorite, the toilets, showers, kitchen etc are spotless,the owners are friendly and helpful, next time we are back in Te Anau this
is where we will be staying.
-
44$ for unpowered site is quite a lot, but still the cheapest we found in turistic Te Anau.
Facilities were very good and clean, views nice and owners fair. I just hate those 250Mb internet thing (not refreshing every 24hours), it's just not enough nowadays!

After travelling around the South Island this is the best camping ground.
Wonderful sheltered camp sites with very good facilities and amenities. Very clean and tidy. The management were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this camp ground to all travellers.

Lovely clean holiday park, large caravan sites, excellent toilet and shower facilities, kitchen and laundry spotless.
Very friendly, helpful hosts. Certainly recommend.
-
Great campsite, so organised, best shower block we have had in NZ.
Very orderly kitchen with some cooking utensils. We had a tent. The sites for the tents were nicely mapped out and private.
And yes, you have to pay cash.
Info : the campsite/reception is closed between 12 & 2pm. So plan your arrival around that. (We had to wait outside the campsite for opening time.)
-
Called to make a booking and all was well.
No need to pay just turn up and we’ll do it then. Turned up and needed cash, lucky to have enough as they didn’t tell us they wouldn’t take cards.
Rules on just about everything, posted everywhere.
You can borrow stuff for cooking, at a cost. Some needed a deposit but having used all our cash we did with what we had.
There are two toilet/shower blocks. One is great the other is not great at all. Found this out after having a cold “pits and bits” wash. Explains why the reviews are so mixed!
Did I mention the rules... Long list supplied when you pay for your site and individual rules posted throughout... the atmosphere is pretty uptight.

Quiet and clean campsite but missing the welcoming vibe of many other places we've stayed in.
We had a very poor customer experience when leaving as we were filling up water at the adjoining site (we had used the dump site and then reversed into our adjoing site to fill up the water tank). The owners directed us very rudely to use the tap at the dump site, apparently there was a fresh water tap (not marked). We argued that we were concerned filing up at the dump site and preferred to continue to fill up where we were (what are the water taps on the camping grounds after all??). Owner told us that water is recommended to be boiled (again not signposted) and we shouldn't park on the adjoining site because there are water tanks underneath?? (No signage) Owners were very rude and we were extremely disappointed by the experience. We'd had a much better experience at The Gateway in the town centre the night before, wish we would have kept driving on our return journey from Milford Sound and stayed there again. Also as others have said in their comments, it's cash only, so beware.

5 persons x 23NZD = 115NZD.
ONLY CASH.
You will get 250MB together. 50MB each. Hello. We are living year 2019.
It feels you come year 1995 in Finland, when coming this kind of camping sites in NZ.

A little pricey for what you get, view from dining room is great, but unpowered tent sites have no view and it’s $44 for two people and a tent.
Facilities are fine, nice bathroom.
-

Onwer evades taxes by not giving receipts.
Doesn't accept eftpos for less than 100.Misused our CC information when he charged our card for deposit.
No place to charge devices
No kitchen utensils
Worst experience in NZ
-

-
No views - though you would expect from the name.
Charging is prohibited in the kitchen, allowed in the internet room, which closes at 10pm. Cooking utensils can be borrowed free of charge, but caution is needed. Gas grills paid by use time. Fridge in the kitchen is broken (freezer works). Payment by cash only. Noise from the road. On the plus side - very nice isolated tent locations, good showers for free with hair driers.
-
Great campsite, very clean with heated bathrooms :O.
You don’t enjoy the view everywhere but there are tables to eat with the view so it works too. Camp hosts are not overwhelmingly welcoming but it wasn’t the end of the world.
