Stayed here for one night after getting the ferry from the south island. It literally is just a car park with the campers packed in and no space at all outside your van to sit etc. There are 2 showers and toilets for each gender. Its OK for one night but not somewhere to spend your whole holiday. We went... More

This is not a caravan park. It is normal carpark behind the motel you can't see when arriving. Only one dirty smelly shower per gender. Total rip off at $46 per night. Not even close to 4 stars advertised. Worst caravan park on our 2 weeks driving thru NZ. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. More

We didn't have a good experience staying here. The room we stayed in had a draft under the door where they was a gap between door and floor of at least 1 cm. The bed HAD roll together and the foot of the bed curled up. There was no day curtain so had no privacy from the neighbours when they... More

My colleague and I ended up staying here for one night after being stranded in Wellington by flight cancellations. It was the closest hotel to the city we could get and having just stayed at the James Cook Hotel we were expecting this place to be grotty. What a pleasant surprise! Checking in was a breeze with the staff person... More

We stayed one night and were glad it was only one. The site for campervans/motorhomes is simply a carpark with powered sites very close together and serviced by only a couple of showers and toilets. Location is ok for a bus to the centre but next to noisy motorway. If you want convience for Wellington then go to the Waterfront... More

Units were not as good as pictured on website. Very cold, uninviting rooms. Only 2 little heaters that dont heat nothing! Being In Wellington, you need proper heating. Microwave, stove hobbs and electric blanket did not work! However, good showers! No wifi in units. More

We stayed 2 nights, Saturday (final of rugby 7s) & Sunday. Chose location so we could get to ferry easily on a Monday morning: ferry is 6.5km away, easy drive. Reception was friendly on arrival, gave us milk & cookies, but did not show us to our room (as had been the case at previous motels we'd stayed at). Had... More

Comfortable base located by main road into city. We did not use the car whilst in Wellington as there was a bus stop by the driveway which we used to go into city centre. Convenient 10 minutes drive to the Interislander ferry. Was in Wellington over Rugby 7's weekend, crowded but fun. More

This campervan park is actually the car park of a motel on the northern outskirts of the city. Adjacent to the motorway and under the flight path for the airport (no flights at night), there are some 30 tarmacked parking spaces behind the motel. Each site has power but there is only one water point adjacent to the dump. Cooking... More
