Stayed here on a powered site for one night after abandoning our plans to freecamp in Christchurch.
Called up to check it would be okay, gentleman on the phone was friendly and told us how long it would take us to get there. Check in on arrival was quick, we were one of four or five campervans for the night so they gave us a nice spot away from the others but close to the facilities. Grounds were very clean, power box could use a bit of care as there were lots of bugs and spiderwebs but that's just being nitpicky. Showers were good for 50c, laundry facilities were good, only strange part was there appeared to be two ladies camped out in the kitchen the whole time we were there washing themselves in the kitchen sink. Got a late night visit from someone's dog, was concerned at first but he was lovely and friendly and a nice surprise to end our night. The only reason I voted 9* was due to the huge amount of bugs that came into the camper which we think were sandflies. Other than that it was a lovely stay.
