We think this is best value camp we've been to!
Meticulously clean, sheltered, friendly, good showers, information - its all there- and yellow eyed penquins /moeraki - and Fleurs Restuarant all new.

Tōtaranui Campground
4.5/5
Interesting drive in last 10km on gravel but a friendly welcome and a real jewel when you arrive!
Best away from peak season! No power, cold water only but great walks and the beach........

Southern Discoveries / Milford Sound Red Boats
5.0/5
Instead of driving from Te Anau took this boat trip - fantastic easy way to do it!
Milford encounter was excellent- up close - real close! casual but professional.As long time yachties we've been wet - but not this wet?? Totally invigorating - don't miss.

Pororari River Track
4.0/5
Ok, you won't be missing the Punakaiki Rocks but also stop at the bridge and look at these fantastic bluffs - and the river and beach.

North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Karori ▷
Zealandia Eco-Sanctuary
4.5/5
We loved this place - where you can see Tuatara, Tui chasing Bellbirds away from "their" food, and many others, right in a city?
Trees, dams buildings - its all good fun

Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry
3.5/5
these guys were relaxed and friendly at ticket and marshalling- the boat was suprisingly smooth riding in a reasonable Cook St swell/chop.
The food was not up to same standard though.
Hi Raewyn just wanted to thank you for the feedback you posted a wee while ago, and thought you would be glad to hear that we have given our food and beverage offering a real overhaul in the past year. We're now proud to be the wine and food lovers ferry of choice when crossing Cook Strait offering some of the best fresh kiwi tucker around and at very reasonable prices too! Find out more by visiting our website and we hope to see you back again some time soon.

Goose Bay Coastal Campgrounds
5.0/5
Waters edge - between SH1 / railway and the rocks- look out the window on wake upand there is a seal 20mtrs away!
"Priceless" as they say. No cooking (Kitchen) - only washup but good showers + toilets.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ St Arnaud ▷
Honeydew Walk, Lake Rotoiti
4.0/5
Easy walk with a twist - we had no idea of the importance of honeydew in beech forest regeneration- excellent DOC storyboards and a lovely spot.
-
South Island ▷ Southland ▷ Invercargill ▷
Te Hikoi Heritage Museum
4.0/5
Sensitive and interesting, particulary interweaving the two cultures, Maori and European, in the cool rugged south.
A mini Te Papa, and made more relevant with the howling gale outside!

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Oamaru ▷
Katiki Point Lighthouse Walk
4.5/5
Thanks to local enthusiasts, this hide (complete with binoculars) is an unexpected bonus - we saw six Hoiho, adult (moulting) and juvenile.
But please respect the birds and facility - and leave a donation.

Pupu Hydro Walkway
4.5/5
Recyclers dream - take a goldminers aquaduct, now abandoned, use it for the first hydro power scheme in the area, then when superseded, rebuild it - still putting power into the grid!
Engineering, flora, fauna, history = one good walk.
