Friendly owner and we got lucky with a tent site by the sea but that's where the good review ends.
Toilets and shower area very dirty. We found the kitchen too dirty to cook in, seems like it hasn't got a scrub in decades. Plenty of freezers but they too need a good clean. Has great potential though.

Arrived late and left early so hard to judge.
Plenty of tent spaces but they were pretty full up. Toilets and kitchen seemed very clean.

Got what we paid for.
Beautiful scenic location with plenty of space for our tent. Toilets were average and the kitchen only had 4 hobs and no fridge. Only 5 plug points. The caretaker, Tahu, was brilliant, very friendly and happy to share his knowledge of Maori history and culture.
Great location if you want to see Hobbiton.

We had a pleasant stay.
Kitchen was a bit basic, some of the hobs didn't work and could do with some cleaning utensils. There could also be better organisation of rubbish separation ie a sign advising recycling bins are outside the kitchen so everyone doesn't throw everything into the organic bin in the kitchen. Toilets and showers were ok, $0.50 for a 6 minute hot shower, the proceeds to go charity. :) Fantastic location ie near Hot Water bBeach and Cathedral Cove.

Very happy with our stay.
Plenty of space for our tent site, clean toilets and showers, unlimited hot shower and spacious cooking facilities with ample utensils provided. The permanent residents there were also friendly.
