Hack n Stay Golden Bay
1.5/5
I can't understand why people gave it 9/10 or 10/10.
Honestly being locals new zealanders
$15 not worth it.
Might $5 or 6 per persons
Unless they improve lot of stuff and especially their customers service!!!
Found this review on the Google
Self explanatory
I honestly don’t understand the criteria for people to rate this place 5 stars!!! At least for camping, this was by far the WORST experience ever! The owners/staff just treat you as if they are doing a favor for you to be there, even paying NZ$15 pppn. Although THE OWNERS CONTEST MY REVIEWS, even having bbq and pizza oven, when I asked them to use it, the staff said it was only for guests. So, the tiny little camping kitchen was completely busy and we couldn’t have food until late that night. There is no oven available, just a small camping stove (see pics). There are written signs in the kitchen saying that cutlery and plates are available upon request on main kitchen only. According to the woofie worker I asked, the campers use to take them away, which I truly believe, however, when I went to the guest kitchen to ask for plates and cutlery, (otherwise I couldn’t eat), they looked at me as if I was not going to return them. Ridiculous. Pity seeing the horses living among these humans ;)
I agree with this one.
Campsite behind the barn is full of horse poo no where to pitch a tent.
And the whole site not child safe and friendly.
We had 2y 8m old child with us!
Don't go here.
Horse riding might be good not sure.
After experiencing customer service (this kinda service especially in new Zealand) put me off from trying their horse riding even!!!
Horrible experience
They did refund me through so i could leave from there and find a decent campsite.
Appreciate that and thankful for it.

And when we tried to make them understand that site wasn't child safe the host gave us a weird look and said they are not responsible and care about child safety but that we have a watch our child like a prisoner(Wouldn't understand that child can even run away while you constantly watching them).
And my wife said after this she felt like she is being balmed for not being a good parent!!!
Host didn't bother about contacting owner to resolve the issue or for child safety.
Hi Kumar, perhaps this is for "that other place"? We don't have horses or barns ;-) Glad you guys came and stayed after this place though!
