Basic place The location is amazing. Just to the back you can walk along the lake. Very basic place. The room I was in was ok but due to poor isolation. So noisy. I sneezed and people next door said bless you. You could here everything

Clean but very old, bed very comfy, quiet. Sadly only two small relaxing chairs not particularly comfy. Unfortunately there was a very strong curry smell which was not pleasant, we appreciate not the managers fault but other places have a sign saying do not cook fish, curry etc which this place needs.

This is the best little camp-site in the southern hemisphere. Henry and his crew go out of their way . Facilities are basic but super clean . The atmosphere is friendly and most of the other campers we chatted with all decided to stay extra days as they enjoyed it as much as we did 😊

We stayed two nights in one of the self contained cottages which felt like staying in your grandma's house. Clean and functional but very old school/retro. The bed was comfy with a grandma coverlet. A full kitchen was provided including a stove and microwave. The cottage was warm and the shower hot. The location was excellent allowing a walk into the few shops in town and to the wharf for cruising including through the forest which reminded us strongly of Norway. The Church in town was a great pub also with a chilled vibe, frequented by locals and we had an excellent meal and a generous glass of wine and would recommend if it's open when you visit. Henry the owner/manager of the park was friendly and chilled. There were sports items like kayaks you could borrow which would be great in summer and a fire pit. We enjoyed the casual vibe here and would recommend if you need a place to stay.

Amazing location, right on the lake in manapouri. Very friendly owner who let us stay last minute. Loads of random facilities on site e.g. table tennis, bbq, log burner. Lovely campsite set up with very hot showers!! Would highly recommend to anyone!

This is a really cool place. Henry takes such pride in the place, and really cared about our experience. He made sure we selected the site that would work best for us, (we were in a campervan) and I saw him escorting others around to do the same. We loved the relaxed “old school” vibe around the place, and the sound of the songbirds everywhere. Being so close to the lake and to the trails through the woods. The scent of wood smoke drifting through camp when Henry lit up a fire in the chimera. The skies at night through the trees. Fancy, this is not. Authentic, yes, 1000%. Clean, cheerful, relaxing. One of the highlights of our visit to the South Island!
