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

The location was beautiful but the comfort of the stay could be improved with some outdoor lights so you can see what your'e eating for dinner and also a light to be able to see the toilet at night.

This place was exactly what we saw online and the staff were lovely. What an awesome way to spend the afternoon overlooking the lake with a quick (freezing) dip in the lake then kicking back relaxing.

Why would you stay in busy Wanaka when you can be in this paradise? We had a cottage which was just brilliant. Took some coffee & sat for a while just admiring the view from edge of park over the lake - wow! Girls at the desk were very helpful. Wish I could have stayed a lot longer - was at the top of all the places I stayed in NZ.

Great cabin with a short walk to the lake. The bedding was comfortable and warm and plenty of heaters for those like us use to warmer climates. The floors were a little creaky, and the shower was a water-saver (as you would expect), but a great heater in the bathroom and a nice little cottage overall. Adding in a drying rack would be a great addition for those wanting to stay longer.

We are campers, so understand what's involved in living in a campground. The lake was beautiful. The tents nice. We did not use the heaters though it was cold, till morning. Bedding was great. The restroom was a bit of a walk but a port o let was available closeby for those midnight bathroom calls. The kitchen was well supplied. The only microwave was available in the central kitchen. All in all, it was a good experience.
