Hack n Stay Golden Bay
4.0/5
15 pp, feb 2021 (unpowered), arrived late near 9pm and nobody was there, we payed the next morning.
Kitchen ok, baths ok and lovely hot showers. Never saw part of the staff, did see some horses and people walking by. Probably if you spend more time there you ll get a different experience, but it was OK for us.

Montgomery Square Carpark
2.5/5
Nice spot, BUT We have an awful night cause of a junkie, playing music really out loud next to all the campervans, between 23 and 1am, we left to New World parking place.
I think someone called the police later, free wifi and great speed thou. Car parks places means that you have to be prepared for everything.

Lake Pukaki Overnight Campervan Parking
5.0/5
Great place and amazing views!!
By far, the best place so far, bathrooms just ok.
But the view is just great, lots of places and so great that we didnt have sandflies. A spot in the middle between Tekapo and Mt Cook.
Highly recommended, check the weather, the best thing is to cook outside with the view of the Alps! Sandflies level: 1 (jan 2021)

For me, a nice place to stay one night.
