I'm traveling throughout NZ on a bicycle, while also doing a series of articles on riding here. Unfortunately, I happened to pick a 3 month timeframe where Mother Nature reeked havoc with my travel plans .... lots of rain. Lots! Fortunately, I was able to get a cabin here for 3 nights to 'dry out'. Owners are personable, and run the park with skills developed over many years of operating the place (heck, used part of my downtime to get a haircut and the gal working on me mentioned 'em by name when I told her where I was staying - icons in the community). The pair also have great people skills; handling well an issue with a long-term resident that had, basically, gotten used to taking over the tv room for his own personal viewing, and wasn't keen to share the programming choices with others. My cabin had a full size refrigerator which was a bonus; water pressure and hot water (important to most of us) in the showers was exceptional. It's definitely worth a visit to the town's museum that's a 5 minute walk from campground (see pics). Now, if they only could get it to stop raining:)
