Set on fifteen acres of beautifully terraced land, sites (powered, non-powered and tent,) allow stunning views of the mighty Taramakau River, snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps, waterfalls and of course their own stunning NZ native rain forest. There are accommodation options to suit all budgets from cosy cabins and self-contained units to large camp sites. Unique to New Zealand is their i

nnovative covered barns each with private bays, fresh water and power. Here you can park up and enjoy a panoramic window to take in the alpine & river views whilst keeping you dry or shaded from the unpredictable West Coast rain forest weather. Camp facilities are outstanding and include, a modern self-catering kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area with TV and log fire and beautifully appointed spacious heated bathrooms with free showers.
