INSTANT CAMPING!!
We arrived in Hamilton late in the day and looked at hotels upwards of $180- 200. Instead, we took Karen's place and lucked in big time. Yes ( as she points out to people who don't read the listing) the shower and bathroom are inside. But unless mobility is an issue this is just not a problem. Throw in a super-fast response time, great kiwi hospitality and marmite toast and museli to put a dent in your road trip the next morning and the place is a steal.
