Hi Etoile Unfortunately our gas and wages costs have gone up significantly over the last 3 years so we can no longer offer our winter specials. We are still the lowest (equal) price in the area.

Limited parking so would book if coming at a busy time. Shower & toilet facilities are lovely - there was even a hairdryer provided! Right in the middle of Franz Josef so great for accessing activities there or just having a wander around the town.

Hi Hanif
Our aim is to offer everyone low prices, we are in a remote and expensive to operate location. As we aim to offer couples the lowest price possible, unfortunately we can no longer offer children free

Hi Ricardo, I am sorry you were not happy with our prices, at $42 for a powered site we were the cheapest option in our remote area. I am not sure why you expected the price to be different to what was advertised on this app, I am sorry if there was any confusion. Unfortunately like most people the costs of gas etc have gone up significantly for us in this remote location

Awesome place - friendly, helpful and so reasonable for a powered site.
Best spot I’ve found so far after tripping around in my campervan for 3 weeks in the South Island. Wifi, lean amenities - perfect!

Free showers.
Great pressure. Clean.
Kitchen very basic. You have to provide everything.
No rubbish bins anywhere. Not even in the kitchen.
Dump station very narrow.
Gave us 2 sites as we were a 6.9 camper which was very nice as we didn’t want the site beside the road.
$29 for 2 people powered which was a really good price .

Wasn't a fan of this site.
It's just a gravel car park and its expensive. Wifi doesn't reach the lounge. The lounge is a concrete floored room with some tatty sofas. The bathrooms look like they're from the 80s. It's impossible to wash your face over the sink which means the floor gets soaked.

Gravel car park with portaloos.
Not the best site in NZ.
Helicopters buzzing around all day.
I should have done my homework and read other reviews. 👎

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. We are right in the centre of Franz Josef allowing you to park up and walk everywhere, unfortunately we can't control if some visitors to the region want to go on a flight to see the glacier. Guests are welcome to look at the site before deciding if they wish to stay.
