“One of the best camping grounds in NZ”

5 of 5 stars | Reviewed 3 Nov 2016

I mean, can anyone identify another camping ground that has a wild beach, a beautiful tranquil estuary, kayaking through a limestone gorge, amazing caves and a pub just right there. I don’t think so. Not to mention the blowholes up the road. A wonderful spot that hasn’t changed at all in 25 years. Yes the decor might be dated but it is immaculately clean. And not expensive. I have stayed in camp grounds in many countries and nothing compares to this, for me anyway.

“Fabulous spot!”

4 of 5 stars | Reviewed 30th Oct 2016

Easy, friendly check in. We chose a great spot for the campervan backing towards the beach, plenty of good spots to choose from. Basic facilities, but clean and suitable . Lovely quiet place to spend the night, great!
