By far the best free place we've stayed so far.
You can stay in this lovely town for up to 7 days for free if you're self contained. There are nice flush toilets, a sink for washing dishes, clean water, dump site and wifi all for free. This place was actually better than places we've paid for. If you want to use the wifi the name is apnk or something like that and the password is just 88888888. For a small price you can also have a shower. Wonderful place

A very nice place.
It is run by an older couple who are very welcoming and kind. One night for two people with powered site was about 36 dollars if I remember correctly. It's a big place with much space. There are two kitchens, showers and toilets for free. The shower is six minutes only but hot. There is also laundry though I don't know if it's free. The facilities are very clean. They don't accept Visa or MasterCard, so bring cash or pay with something called eftpos I think. Overall the best thing was the two elders running the place. They are very nice and interested 😊 Also I don't think there is any wifi.

I'm not sure why this place has such a bad rep.
The owner was extremely friendly and kind. The facilities were old but clean and we got free wifi and nice hot showers. Furthermore it was quite cheap compared to other places.

The best thing is the view.
The toilets are disgusting so we didn't use them. We found it quite expensive (13$ pp) just to park a self contained vehicle for a single night. But freedom camping self contained in this area isn't allowed, so we didn't have any other choice. Just to expensive. We have enjoyed much better facilities for free other places.

Best toilet and shower facilities so far.
The kitchen is often crowded. But it's very expensive (60$ for two people with a powered site) and you have to pay extra for washing machine, dryer and wifi. It's a nice place and the only place to stay at Milford, but to expensive.
