Cabin was spacious and in a good location. Everything was clean but some of the furniture was a little worn and some of the fabric stained. As it was self catering it would have been helpful to have a t-towel to be able to dry up when washing up.

Friendly staff and the cottage was great (perfect for four of us - plenty of room and in a quiet part of the camp). Early morning on the first day, and shower was fine. Second day, later start and no pressure or hot water in the shower.

The Camp has a huge compound, ideal if you’re traveling with a Pet. The location is closed by Wanaka and not too far from Queenstown so pretty convenient.
The place is quiet and has the basic facilities you need

2nd time staying here, 1st time in the cabins, lots of room, bonus having a kettle and fridge unlike another camp down the road that we stayed the night before. Bathrooms always clean and conveniently located.
