Good site..

At first, this campsite seems to be located in no-where...

So away from Oamaru and Dunedin with nothing around to eat or buy groceries..

But there's a reason we came here and liked it. We had gone to watch the Blue-Pengins in their colony in Oamaru.. The watch gets over after sunset (9.45pm when we had gone).. and then it gets so late to drive back to Dunedin. Also we wanted a head-start next day to drive to Christchurch.. So we wanted something on SH 1, but not very far..

Best part was.. Since they get a lot of customers after the Penguin watch, they're open till 11.30pm all days..!!

The kitchen and bathrooms were a bit small, but neat and clean.. Good parking sites and beach in the backyard..

A good place to stay in the end!!

Our stay in Queenstown was for 3 days and we had decided to take all non-Top 10 Holiday parks (cos they were ofcourse expensive than others)..

So in Queenstown we stayed at Lakeview..

It nailed us in the beginning with all the security measured they had. You get a pin to enter the park, as well as the bathrooms!! So you're rest assured that you're gona be safe inside..

They also had a hhuuggee pantry and dining area which could seat almost 80-100 people i guess at a time.. It became a bit hot during sun-hours since it was glass-walled.. But otherwise buzzing with co-campers!!

They also had a TV room for kids and a laundry room with a clothes line right outside.. Dumpstations and fresh water.. All included..

And around 200 parking sites!!! You'll feel you're in a camping paradise...

It was worth the stay..!!

We started out trip in NZ from Christchurch..

Amber wasn't our first option to stay in Chc.. But since it was nearby to our friends in Chc, we though to give it a try, just to be surprised to what it offered.

Amber was a small park, with about 50 parking sites.. But thats what made it super cute :) It had a central bbq area and the kitchen and bathrooms were not more than 50 steps away!

And so clean??!! It went above all our expectations!

Glass-walled kitchen and benches outside with spectacular view of the park and flowers all around was not to be missed..

We were so glad by the park that when we ended our trip with Chc being the last halt, we made it a point to stay at Amber and take pleasant memories back home :)

One word that describes it best - HUGE..!!

This park was like you're living in an actual rainforest.. Green & bushy all around, with parking sites between the trees and ample space around to not feel cramped in parking..

Its kitchen, bbq & bathrooms were centrally located and alongside dumping, fresh water and car wash.. They also had hot water pool complimentary with stay..

We loved the entire feel of the park, its location and facilities a lot!

Must-stay if you're in Franz...

Wendekreisen...

A long name and it totally lived up to it!!

After weeks of research about selecting the best campervan that suited our budget, gave the best insurance option, had the best of vehicles and facilities packed into it, we found Wendekreisen to fit in perfectly!

We had selected 2+1 berth Budget camper which was a Toyota Haice 1999 model. It was in the best of condition, cleaned and packed with all things we would need during our trip. The vehicle went so smooth all along the way, we didnt miss the bed feeling even once!

What made it worth taking was the booking experience offered by their staff - specifically mentioning Kanuka, Romy and Sasha.. They solved all our queries pre-booking and gave us a feeling that the camping experience is going to be amazing..

There were other expensive companies offering same or better campers (ofcourse with more money), but we found Wendekreisen total value for what we paid!

So if you are thinking to go out on a holiday to NZ and do it by camping, Wendekreisen would be your best bet, trust me!!
