We have spent 2 nights in this resort on a powered site during Xmas season in 2009.

This was our second night in NZ and we were not (yet) aware that some NZ campsites managers could try to crook campers. The first night was invoiced at a "normal" price (60 NZD) but the second has been invoiced at 131 NZD, supposedly because of "high season and fully booked camp"...while we discovered on the next morning that the camp was half empty. In addition, power was unexpectedly cut (the manager came to inform us of this at midnight...swearing we would get a discount, which was never granted afterwards) and the playground for the kids not available. Such a pity that a so nice environment is spoiled by such people.

The campsite is very basically equipped (only 1 bbq working at the time of our visit ; kids playground not opened while it was mentioned as available on the website,...) and well positioned to discover the wonders of this area. A bit difficult to find without a GPS though.

With an other management team and reasonable prices, would be an appreciable place.
