5.0/5
This was one of the most special, lovely, unexpected, great, unusual, tranquil, scenic, natural, etc.
... places we stayed during our 3 months in NZ. It all starts with the gong to announce your arrival over the river followed by a scenic cable car journey to the other river bank and being welcomed by the hearty hosts, Kelly and Jane. They run the place since just over a year and have refurbished and turned it into a really precious spot. You mustn't expect state of the art amenities - but what would that be against the hot shower and woodfire-heated bath tub right in the bush?!? Or the avocado orchard? Or the deer coming close to your tent (or accommodation) in the night. We only can recommend staying here!

4.0/5
Nice campground, really friendly lady at the reception, just 200 m from supermarket, café, restaurant, ...
Fully (and I mean fully...) equipped kitchen, bbq, outdoor kitchen, nice campsites. Toilets and showers a little old (but clean) - but altogether a place to recommend for a stopover or family holiday.
