We work in the motorhome industry and are talking to motorhome clients each day about their motorhomes, experiences and will also recommend to them places to stay based on our personal experience while

travellling around NZ.

Being in the industry, we always mention this and there is often some reflection on pricing as we can send clients to varying locations and we do indeed do this on a regular basis.

With this holiday park however I was met with a nonchalant attitude by staff/management when mentioning my position..probably based on the fact they are the only camping ground in Tekapo and indeed have the monopoly there.

They seemed totally unworried about potential business which could have been sent their way..I can only guess they do not need additional clients.

I would have been happy even with a minor reflection on pricing or even some polite reason why this was not possibile, and this was even after proving my credentials in person.

This is the first time ever that I have been met with this attitude both when booking on the phone and in person.

The rating has been marked down on customer service and as other reviews the main attraction of this holiday park is with the location/view.

Pricing is expensive and if you had six people travelling in a van it would appear to cost you $120 per night and the showers at $2 for 10 mins after paying this price is a further hit in the pocket.

I stayed the 2nd night of my stay in the southern lakes region and the welcome there was as different as chalk and cheese.

That holiday park has been highly recommended, will be put forward when talking with clients and will be placed on our website which clients visit.
