I loved this place. Like a 1960s UK seaside camp, it's actually an old timber one-teacher school cottage. Quirky and cosy, with small gardens and quaint hedges. Park your camper and then revisit your childhood. All the kids and teens joined up, played and hung out together. Facilities are very 1970s youth hostel. If traveling south, and the crowds at...

An amazing place to stay views of the sea from caravan. Not a 5 star establishment but hello it's camping the way it should be. Kids love the place. Price reflects the amenities. At least they don't charge for basic things such as a shower such as tekapo and queenstown. Price should include this.

Location is a big thumbs up but our party all agreed, if it isn't rusted, its rotted or its covered in mildew, fine if you have a self contained RV but is way too rustic and run down, regardless of earlier comments about Council rules, you can keep the place painted, without so much mildew and rotted wood and in...

We could not wish for a better location. Stunning settings right on the beach. Friendly, charming, informative and generous caretakers. Had a beautiful heron viewing on the 7mile creek. Mussels from North end of beach plentiflul and delicious. Love the green stone! Greetings from Norway

Someone else wrote that this is "camping as it used to be" - yes in the 1970s! Unfortunately the world has moved on. No disrespect to the couple running this site, they obviously love it and have put their lfe into it but I think given its location it's time they retired and the local council or someone look at...

It's a pity Rainstone didn't read my previous reply to a reviewer and saved himself some effort making suggestions that are not possible under the law administered by the local Council. There is a by-law forbidding any building within 100 metres of mean high water, springs here, we have managed only a small extra shower by making it temporary i.e.... More

If you are looking for a mammoth concrete jungle camp, this is not for you. This is a small, converted old school house with every essential provided in a spectacular setting on the wil west coast of the south island.

A delightful camp right on the beach - some of the sites look directly over the bay. This is camping as it should be and indeed used to be. Everything is laid back. The sites are individualised with hedges around almost all. Good no of power and water sites. The facilities while perhaps old are scrupulously clean, indeed spotless. Ideal... More

We looked for somewhere to stay the night, but i wished we travelled further. The room we got was in serious need of update. the one bonus was that it had a TV with free view, but money should be spent on cleaning and updating. The lady owner was rude. Above the bed was two lights and bugs were not... More
