Nice lady at check in, sheets were not changed and the room was not clean when we arrived. Apparently the cleaning lady had already gone home and I believe the lady that checked us in cleaned the room and changed the bed. Our cabin was nice but the overall property is kinda run down and rough.

very clean cabin and friendly, helpful owner, plenty of utensils etc. in the kitchen and a carton of milk in fridge for tea and coffee. The feeling of the cabin is very traditional Kiwi, bathroom could do with a little updating but everything worked well to give us a good shower and was very clean. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

This was really good value for money. The cabin was clean and well equipped. Not too far from Christchurch. The communal kitchen needs more utensils. No forks were available. Also no dishcloths to dry the washed dishes.

Stayed for 5 days over Xmas in a studio unit. It was sufficient for our needs but was looking a bit tired. Could do with a freshen up. The price we paid reflected the condition.

We stayed in a two bedroom unit for one night and it was a great option for us. It was roomy, had very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. It was not "flash" but was clean and warm. Handy to be able to park right outside the door and only a short drive to town.

Great value for money. Quiet, warm and tidy. Unfortunately the bathroom window was open on our arrival and some leaves and dust had blown in with the recent high winds, also noticed the smoke alarm has been taken down and had no battery in it.

Disappointed
We were shown online pictures of an A frame superior unit. But when we arrived after waiting for quite some time at reception, we were told that we could only have a box on wheels, approx 100 metres from the toilet block that required a walk in the dark through muddy puddles to access. Wouldn't go there again.
Stayed 1 night in May 2023
Response from Geoff on 7 Jun,2023
Sorry but unfortunately as you booked so late in the day all our Aframe cabins were full. I put you in the tiny home on wheels and this had just been completely renovated with new paint, curtains, carpet and a new deck.We suggest you book a self contained unit if you are not comfortable with walking to the Amenities Block toilets.

The showers were constantly changing from boiling hot to freezing cold. The dryer did not dry any of my laundry At least we were refunded for the coins spent on the laundry.

I have checked with staff and it appears you were using all 3 washing machines.. over full .. if you overload the dryers they will not dry.. they are near new but are on a timer for 50 minutes. Sorry you were using the shower block at a busy time when people are using the basins.I suggest you pay more for one of our self contained units which have separate hot water systems...

It was very unclean, dirty sheets, floor dirty and cob webs everywhere. We were made to feel like we were not ment to use the laundry. I had my laundry in the dryer they were taken out before the cyclestill damp ( i paid to use it) so she could dry the camps sheets (the hostess). She was not inviting and very snobby. I guess your getting what you paid for. Will never return.

Response from Geoff on 13 Mar,2023
Hi it was not the hostess nor any employee of the camp who took your laundry out of the drier as all our sheets are provided by Alsco Laundries. We do not wash or dry sheets on the premises. It seems from your comments that you had a discussion with another tourist...

One to miss.
I was told I had been upgraded for free. I hate to think what state my original room was like although it appeared to be occupied by different people over the four days. No shower on the first night due to no water. In the morning I was told it was an airlock. Every time I wanted a shower I needed to purge the air. The whole place was very tired and in places dirty. The toilet seat was badly stained but lifting the seat showed a large crack in the toilet. The bathroom / shower could do with a lot of attention due to wear and tear as the sink was covered in small cracks. Under the bed was dirty as was most of the carpets throughout. There were marks on the walls with flaky paint on the ceiling. There appeared to be some mould in the corners near the double bed. Lastly the some plates could have done with a good clean due to finding dried on hair. I didn’t bother complaining due to the attitude of the person who showed me how I should expell the aid in the hot water system.
Crack on toilet. Sadly the stained toilet seat didn’t show up on the photo

Hi Edward the unit you stayed in is due to be renovated next and it is priced accordingly. We had just finished upgrading the hot water system and I apologised for the air lock. It was easy to fix and didn't cause any problems after I visited your unit. There is no mould in the corners near the double bed, or anywhere else in the unit.I am disappointed you didn't mention the good points of the unit for which you paid 65 per night for - the Sky TV, the heat pump/air conditioner, a fully self contained unit with its own bathroom. Plus the access to the swimming pool etc.

Was not informed there we would be staying amongst permanent residents. Our cabin smelt terrible. The pool water was very murky. The beds and linen were clean

You came in late, 'forgot' to pay the next day even though a message was left on your phone and it was not until I caught up with you when leaving that you paid. You wanted me to refund a non existant deposit you said you made. I have checked the pool, it is fine and your children appeared to enjoy it very much.

There were bulbs missing in the hallway of the cabin, mould on the curtains, latches missing off windows, rubbish and dirt under items that hadn't been moved when the room was vacuumed (if done) and mouse poo in the bed.

I am sorry about this - we had that unit rented out to a social housing family for a long time. The tenant was made to clean the unit three times before she could get her bond back and we didn't realise there was mice in there. We would like to offer you a free nights stay at the park in the future.

The price was great and the double booking made by the owner/manager corrected by giving us a bigger unit at no extra cost. (we booked online the previous night but he had not seen this until we came to check in, and allowed someone else the unit that day)This unit was very clean but generally not that well set up - eg bedside lamps were there, but no power point within reach to plug them in! Bathroom facilities adequate but minimal. Main problem was the wifi - paid $5 extra for this only to find it was not only an insecure site (so no banking!) but also incredibly weak and kept dropping out. This may have been because the unit was too far from the origin of the signal, but we were not warned of this. We did not complain or try to get a resolution as we only stayed one night and came back late in the evening.
