Best to avoid this place, it is overpriced, the campers are squeezed in like sardines, the camp manager has very little local knowledge to share, the toilets are embazoned with passive aggressive signage
, just a bad bad buzz all around and to top it off after paying $50 for a night you still have to pay for a hot shower. The cafe next door is not much better and should also be avoided, perhaps the worst service we have seen in NZ, the attendant pretty much just scowled at us and charged $24 for two coffees and average muffins. We gave 3 stars only for the wonderful animals that wander the camp - pigs, ducks and horses, they are pretty cool.
Thank you for your response. The camp was designed and built in 2007 and campervans then were a maximum of 5m in length and 1.5 persons wide. We are looking at restructuring, the camp but it can take up to 2 years for council to approve plans. I am not sure about your comment about the Camp Manager, he is very enthusiastic about the place he has lived there since 2007, he built the place. I feel you might have been talking about the staff member as the Camp Manager is very, very rarely in the office. The staff member has been at the park for 3 years or so and is full of information. The T & C are on the website it is your responsibility to check this out. You are told of the price, the showers, about waste, etc. about your site on arrival. Your comment on toilets make me wonder if you WERE in our park, because the signage is for your benefit really, not sure where you are coming from with your aggressive response. Your coffee...just take note of where you are, but actually our most expensive coffee is $5.50, I have just bought one in my town and it was same cost. It costs extra to have everything transported to us but our costs as in line with local towns. Once again remember where we are. OUR large Cafe/Restaurant was burnt to the ground at the start of Dec. It has been hard trying to bake at the house and comply with all Govt and Council laws and regulation. The attendant? everyone is allowed a bad day. MANAGEMENT
