This is a fabulous experience. Fun, well setup, beautiful in photos and convenient to much of the Catlins’ attractions.
We experienced a night where the rain poured and the wind blew strongly from 8pm to midnight, and then the temperature plummeted: a clear, cold night with the Milky Way uninterrupted by local lights - just pure country darkness. Magnificent. With just a thin tent membrane between us and the 5am 3 degree Celsius temperature the interior of the tent got a tad cold overnight. But, with just the blankets already on the bed, and not digging into the store provided in the extra blanket box, we were toasty warm.
The solar lights, and solar fridge, plus the composting toilet made for a delightful extra experience.
