Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Cabin was spacious and in a good location. Everything was clean but some of the furniture was a little worn and some of the fabric stained. As it was self catering it would have been helpful to have a t-towel to be able to dry up when washing up.

After a long day driving, I came in after hours to an easy to use system to get into my accommodation. The glamping set up is phenomenal, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the tent flap to an amazing room. Will not hesitate to come back Thanks guys

Such a fun place to stay. We were in the glamping tent and had a fire pit with an amazing view of the lake. The whole area was very nice and the tent was comfortable. Bathroom very basic but it is a camp site. We went as a couple but I think if you went as a group, it’d be really fun to all get a tent (there were 5 in our hub), as they all share a little kitchen tent and the fire!

The Camp has a huge compound, ideal if you’re traveling with a Pet. The location is closed by Wanaka and not too far from Queenstown so pretty convenient. The place is quiet and has the basic facilities you need
