Really enjoyed our stay here.
The owner makes an effort to ensure you're happy with your pitch. Unpowered sites are more spacious than most of the powered. The showers, although no fancy tiles, were spotlessly clean and from a practical point of view ( keeping your clothes dry, giving enough space, somewhere to leave your soap, a floor mat and a stool) were probably the best I've come across in my three weeks travelling NZ. The location is perfect with regard to visiting the town and watching the penguins come ashore. I would advise booking ahead for the penguin colony, as we were unable to get tickets. The crowds of people along the harbour must be disruptive for the penguins

Highly recommend this campsite.
The kitchen facilities are definitely the best we have experienced (Europe or New Zealand). Lounge has loads of comfy seats, a great place to relax or have a chat with fellow travellers.
