We recently spent two nights at this establishment and whilst it was adequate it did not overly impress us. It is situated a fair way out of the city and is difficult to access. Our room was in a block of ten, for which there were three car parks. Hence we had to park quite some distance from the room.... More

We booked into this Camp Site because we thought it was right next to the ferry terminal, this wasn’t the case it’s about 6kms away maybe a mistake by us when researching. The camp site itself is also a bit of a pain to find, you can easily miss the exit for it. The check in was Ok but the... More

Stayed here for one night after getting the ferry from the south island. It literally is just a car park with the campers packed in and no space at all outside your van to sit etc. There are 2 showers and toilets for each gender. Its OK for one night but not somewhere to spend your whole holiday. We went... More

This is not a caravan park. It is normal carpark behind the motel you can't see when arriving. Only one dirty smelly shower per gender. Total rip off at $46 per night. Not even close to 4 stars advertised. Worst caravan park on our 2 weeks driving thru NZ. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. More

We didn't have a good experience staying here. The room we stayed in had a draft under the door where they was a gap between door and floor of at least 1 cm. The bed HAD roll together and the foot of the bed curled up. There was no day curtain so had no privacy from the neighbours when they... More

My colleague and I ended up staying here for one night after being stranded in Wellington by flight cancellations. It was the closest hotel to the city we could get and having just stayed at the James Cook Hotel we were expecting this place to be grotty. What a pleasant surprise! Checking in was a breeze with the staff person... More

We stayed one night and were glad it was only one. The site for campervans/motorhomes is simply a carpark with powered sites very close together and serviced by only a couple of showers and toilets. Location is ok for a bus to the centre but next to noisy motorway. If you want convience for Wellington then go to the Waterfront... More

Units were not as good as pictured on website. Very cold, uninviting rooms. Only 2 little heaters that dont heat nothing! Being In Wellington, you need proper heating. Microwave, stove hobbs and electric blanket did not work! However, good showers! No wifi in units. More
