I did not have big expectatin about this location, but it was ok for what it is : a campsite. We were comfortale and had most of what we needed. the only problem is that after sometime the cold water became a bit brownish, so basically we had to survive using the hot water only.

The unit we stayed needed to do big maintenance starting from Bathroom and finishing windows (shower was leaking, it was hard to close windows) and couple of fans in the unit would be great as it was very hot and kids could not sleep at all. so was not quite enjoyable stay.

We're A couple and two friends who really enjoyed our one night's stay. Everything was as expected. The beds were comfortable. We bought our own sheets as requested and actually bright own pillows too. The ones provided were quite thin so one could double up if needed. We ended up with two double beds and plenty of space for our overnight stay. The showers (token operated for five minutes hot water) were very spacious. Please note there is no soap in the toilet though this is to be expected. It rained heavily and was very windy overnight but we were extremely cozy and didn't get any disturbance.
We enjoyed our stay and it was only 30 min drive to Hahei (hot water beach or trail to cathedral cove).
Steve the caretaker was very helpful and great recommendation of Frankies Pub!
It was good value for money (especially during high peak season) and highly recommended for people who have realistic expectations.

The price is great and the property is maintained and clean but the beds are very soft and the pillows are virtually non existent.

Lovely location but everything else was horrible. Only stay here if last resort and even then, reconsider your ability to drive to the next town.

Great spot but needs upgrading badly. Cabins are old and tired and bedding was very average.
