4.5/5
Great location and a lovely welcome from the hosts.
Camping/RV site down by the river. Rankers’ information needs updating as two powered sites (we used one). Recommend pre-booking. Luckily we had host who guided us to the RV site (not obvious where to go). Good communication via website www.waiwhenua.co.nz and host (we were booking online as the host drove up!). Site has ‘bush baths’ which looked fun and we’re being fired up whilst we were there. Mobile signal can be a bit sketchy (best we got was 3G as of November 2022) but a fantastic location on this working farm if you want a quiet, off-the-grid, secluded stay.

Nice hot showers in shower/toilet block. Free wifi. Very friendly and helpful owners. Other activities to do (e.g. horse trekking, etc.). Walks and biking routes around this working farm too.
