4.5/5

Right on the river for a splash in the summer, just 1 1/2 hrs walk from the road end...lovely spot in the valley surrounded by mountains.
Kitchen shelter has benches, sink, and picnic tables...tap is off the rainwater tank. Long drop toilet. Plenty of sites to pitch tent on the river flats. Quite close to Queenstown. This is part of a Great Walk so need to book in summer...price $18, (after 30th April price is $5 and no need to book).
