Milford Road Scenic Drive
4.5/5
The drive to Milford Sound, through a tunnel, around waterfalls is almost better than the paid boat cruise, jaw dropping scenery.

Fox River Caves and Ballroom Overhang walk
3.0/5
Rated as a medium track, found difficult and dangerous, two large river crossings and lots of very slippery ricks on a steep incline, needs maintenance.
Caves incredible but dangerous.

Good fun, cable car up the mountain, great views to luge down - 3 rides and cable car for $45, good for the money and lots of fun racing down the mountain.

Whistling Frog Café & Resort at Cathedral Caves
2.5/5
Expensive, $40 for 2, non-powered campsite, facilities okay but not great for the money.
Good showers.
In this day and age, I can't imagine why you say that $20pp is expensive? You have a safe, warm dry place to park your van in the middle of a beautiful part of NZ. You have a well appointed kitchen, a laundry facility, a nice warm common building with TV and an on - site restaurant?
The facility cost me $4 million to build, just so you could have a place to park overnight for $20. Most camp grounds that charge just $20 per person will charge for showers and are very run down. We also give you free wifi, free DVD hire and we have a happy hour in the restaurant for our guests. The shower floors are tiled and they are hot like you said. That seems like a very small investment on your part?
