This place is beautiful! I wish I'd stayed on the way down, too. I sent a message after check-in time, and crossed my fingers. To my delight, I was sent clear instructions on how to get in, and found my way to a very cosy pod cabin with a comfy queen bed. I was heading to Auckland the next day, so it was the perfect stop. It's beside Highway 1, so I took earplugs just in case. The toilets and showers (great pressure) were about the cleanest I've ever seen, not just in a campground - anywhere! The whole place just looked loved. After a great sleep, I was greeted outside by a view of a dam out the back, and later had a delicious cooked breakfast, keeping company with a ram, two pigs, some guineapigs, a llama, and a stuffed toy giraffe. Great place for kids, my daughter would love it. And, the coffee was so good I got another cup to go. Everyone there was so friendly, I'll come back here for sure.
