this place leaves a bad taste in the mouth. as a visitor in new zealand the bad attitude of the owner is a bad example of kiwi hospitality. - toilets dirty, disgusting, wet, unclean - cockroaches in the kitchen - freezer and fridge have not been cleaned for a long time - cowboy owner

2 guests turned up with a dog, for a 2 night stay in a tent, and agreed to be sited at the rear of the campground, as dogs can be a problem for other guests The next morning I received a phone call from them complaining about some other campers. They said that they would be leaving if the campers... More

If you're someone traveling with your family, friends, or partner and looking for a quiet holiday campground to sit back and enjoy nature, then this place is NOT for you. First of all, the manager or owner or whatever he is named Grant does not reply to email inquiries regarding booking (umm, if you don't want our money as clients... More

Tea coffee and sugar in containers which im not sure how long they were there for. The shower was very low pressure. Tv only had one channel. Coffee... More

We arrived to find a queue of people waiting. They told us that the owner had 'lost their booking' and they had been waiting for an hour. He'd wandered off to check his computer 30 minutes ago and eventually reappeared eating the last of his sandwich! We couldn't believe he had left us standing there while he had his lunch!... More

Not worth the money useless you manage to get a VERY special price on an accommodation website which might make it worthwhile for 1 night. Toilets smell and are chronically wet Spiders in rooms Old, dirty facilities and tv's barely work. Also wifi is archaic and useless

Uses a token system, when I went back to complain about no hot water, no offer was made to correct the issue! :-( Toilets were also grubby which with both issues let them down!

If you want to see Basil Faulty or visit Arkwright's Store this is the place. The fact that the owner shows no star rating is for a good reason; professional curtesy. If you find another business offering accommodation and advertising: Cancellations or changes to bookings for this room will not be permitted for any reason. Once confirmed a booking cannot... More
