5.0/5
Kay is a wonderful host and we were very welcome here.
Our camper stood in the backyard and we could leave it there for our trip to Rakiura/Stewart Island.

The keeper Kay let me sleep in the backyard in my car and I could use the facilities and the WiFi.
Paid 25$ for myself.
Also a funny little lodge. You won’t find the same furniture twice. It’s all randomly mixed up but that’s what makes the special spirit of the place.

You need to call Kay to book your stay as there are not a lot of spaces (027 294 5306).
You can park your campervan in the backyard of the Lodge (although it wouldn't suit a big motorhome, I'd say 5 or 6m max) for 30$ a night. You can use the showers, toilets, kitchen and lounge of the lodge. If you don't stay there you can still have a shower for 5$. If you're going on Stewart Island you can also leave your van there for 5$ a night. All in all a good deal !

The campsite is in Kay's garden.
There are very few places so you have to book before. Kay is very friendly. The other gentleman who is present is a bit special but seems sympathetic (when you manage to understand his accent ^^). The kitchen is large and equipped quite correctly. The bathroom is ok with 2 showers and hot water. Not the great luxury, not the cleanest place but correct for bluff, and above all not expensive (30$ per night). payment only in cash.

The manager lets you park your campervan there and sleep in it.
You pay $25 and you’re able to access the showers and lounge and kitchen facilities.
Not the flashiest but a welcome stop over when we were looking at going to Stewart island.
Kay will also let you park your van there (small campervans not large motor homes) while you visit Stewart island.

Nice facilities for cooking, relaxing and meeting people. The house itself is an experience. Can definitely recommend!
