What a wee gem of a place we stumbled upon.
Pulled in for the night and ended up here for 4 days. Well maintained grounds with a playground, tennis court and netball hoops. The ablution block is very well maintained, so cute too. Hot shower for $1, washing machine & dryer $$. The cricket Pavillon is transformed into and awesome lounge dining area, with couches on the terrace. A small kitchenette available. There’s another covered in area with seating and table as well by the playground. Fairy lights light up at nights and sensor lights in ablution block. The caretakers are very friendly. There is a dump site just out the gate too. $15 unpowered site a night for us two. We’ll be back!!

An absolute wee gem of a place.
Clean longdrop toilets. Great prep area under cover. Awesome walk down to the river.
We just stayed the one night heading to ChCh but will be back again just to enjoy the peaceful area.
