5.0/5
Every once in a while you take a chance on a place.
This one does not disappoint in any way. Great facilities, great hosts, Peter and his wife in reception and Mike on the site were an absolute dream team. Helpful but not over-bearing, know the area very well, the site is only 30 plots, but by golly, we could have stayed here for 2 weeks, it's that good.
Kitchen and showers were perfectly maintained, the site has great views and best of all, the whole experience of parking our van from the first minute to the last, was relaxed, friendly and helpful.

3.5/5
A fantastic site and a fantastic location, and one that I have visited before.
The only downside this time was the proliferation of flies....
I strongly suspect that someone has binned into the wrong bin, but the sheer number present and getting into our van, especially compared to all of the other sites we attended during 3 weeks, says to me that there is something not quite right here.
That said, the bay and venue is fantastic, the staff very helpful and if you want a bay to yourself, trek over the hill to the other beach and find another NZ gem. It's paradise...
