Main issue was very very poor wifi Ist powered site we were in had none (203) We then moved to another site (E).
Wifi worked well when no-one else using it. In evening and early morning when everyone else using it, became poor. The facilities are new. Having problems getting cleaners so waste bins in toilet areas not regularly emptied. Expensive $60 for few facilities and no / poor wifi. Problem is only Holiday Park in Tekapo.

There is a beach close by, but we didn’t look at it, very windy, and the sand kept being blown into our eyes.
Didn't have time to wait for wind to die down. Where to park on the Rankers website has signage on one side of the car park saying NO Camper Vans, so we did not want to risk a parking fine.
We then looked on the Christchurch Freedom Camping website, and the next car park along Broad Park Road which had the Pegasus Bay Track running from it, was OK for up to 2 night parking. There is a track running from it to the toilets, and an outside shower. Rated 8 as no view.
