Bit disappointed after the amazing reviews of this place.
The communal areas were fairly average, kitchen had everything you needed, but the bathroom was full of mosquitos and sand flies both in the evening and the morning. Having a shower with them was less than appealing and the water pressure was not very strong.
Quite a flat greeting from the owner too, made for a disappointing stay.
Overall fine, just not as incredible as reviews lead you to believe.

The best campground in New Zealand, hands down.
We have been travelling all over the country in our van and this is the best place we have come across, without a doubt. Amazing value for money, if you are in the area- stay here!
Facilities are spotless, with everything you need and more and a really beautiful space. We were especially taken by the communal area which you could cook, relax and meet other travellers in.
The showers are paid for and on a timer but are hot and have great pressure. The bathrooms have hair dryers and are warm, with lots of space to get ready. The owners are friendly and helpful and we had the added bonus of playing with their gorgeous new puppy.
This campground is designed wonderfully, with the camper in mind, and it really shows. We left there feeling relaxed and ready to get back on the road. Only downside was knowing we wouldn’t find another place like it!
Thank you for having us!!!
