We read the reviews and tried to avoid staying there but there was no where else close. We found it very nice though, the lady at the desk was friendly, the toilets and showers were clean - they do charge $2 for a shower but they were upfront about this when we checked in. We got a site with a... More

I have just stayed here for one night in my campervan, from reading the reviews I didn't no what I would see. I was very surprised; the view was amazing, the blocks are old but clean, the staff are very friendly and you would all love to know there are new managers. They were very helpful, they wanted our feedback... More

We stayed in an ensuite cabin and whilst it was a bit basic, it had everything we needed, fridge, toaster, kettle, towels , shampoo etc - even wineglasses and electric blankets which I hadn't expected. On the plus side we had the most amazing view of the lake and were really close to the hot pools, so easy to talk... More

pros: amazing view on the lake, especially on sunset and sunrise. there are picnic tables with great view. cons: the view (as was written in other comments) is the only good thing about the place. facilities are very poor - kitchen was small and extremely crowded. It was also hard to find a place to sit and eat. Toilets&Showers -... More

We didn't find anyone rude at reception. The bathrooms are clean and well presented. We did laundry, had a fabulous camper van site all to ourselves and even tho this appears to be your only option in tekapo, we rated it very highly on our travels. Thank you.

The view is the only good thing to say about this campground. We arrived to a standard welcome by a pleasant woman in the office and that's where it started to go down hill. We have stayed in many campgrounds over the years but never have we been treated this way. We love tekapo for fishing and views but usually... More

We stayed in a Villa. One of the main concerns were the exposed wires on 3 lights in the villa, most especially the wall light above a single bed. Broken shower screen & mould. Close the door to go to the loo and you can see all the dust from when the building was first built. Vinyl sticky under feet... More

What a great way to start a campervan trip around the South Island. Friendly staff on arrival, great location for our powered site with views across the lake. Clean toilet/shower facilities. Short walk from town facilities. Loved it!

Beautiful scenery in front of our rented cabin, booked for two person sharing and the cabin comes with 4 beds. Everything was very clean and well up keep. Communal kitchen was good and clean as well except you need to prepare your dinner a little earlier if you plan to cook. Few BBQ pits was available and could be shared... More
