3.0/5
The campsite told me to go and see the caves and bring $ for entrance.
I don't know what they do with the $5 per person because the road to the carpark is full of big holes. When I arrived the lady told me to pay and that high tie was coming quickly but I can see the caves before the water was too high.
When I get to the caves the waves were very high because of the wind and it was too dangerous to go in the coves. Not worth the $5, didn't have the right advice and you have to pay to see the nature?!
North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Tauranga ▷
2.5/5
Stay here for one night.
The view over the lake is nice but it is very old and dirty! The insects crawling in the kitchen and the showers are dirty. Not worth the $20 for one night with a single tent, one person. The wifi costs $2 for 250mb like the most places in NZ.
