We hired the cabins on site for a group of 10 lads for a stag night. Was awesome to have a whole area for drinks etc. The camp site is a pretty cool location with an awesome setting over Lake Ferry. We worth visiting and staying the night to check out this part of the Wairarapa.

We rocked in here with an issue - I'd stuffed up the bookings and we needed somewhere for one night. Yes, they DID have a cabin for us, but had a two night minimum. After looking a bit concerned, the staff said quickly, don't worry, we got you! and that was it. Was a lovely place to stay but I do wish we'd come better prepared. We got into the cabin and it was very basic - no bedding! So we had to hire this. For our $10 we got a sheet, and a thin duvet. I found this more than adequate, but the son was a bit chilly he reckons. Cabin is pretty basic for cooking - if we came again, I'd bring our own food. No tea towels or dishwashing liquid provided (I had some myself oddly in the car). Bed was a foam mattress on a wooden base which was a bit firm for my liking, but I slept like a baby so wasn't too bad. Cabin walls are pretty thin and I could hear a fascinating conversation held by a group of girls staying next door. I was dreading it as I could imagine them chatting into the night but no - 10pm, lights out and all was quiet! As it is a holiday park, the whole place is fairly basic - shared kitchen (nice facilities from what I saw), coin operated showers, toilet block. Kids running around quite early. If I had known we would have stayed here, I would have come better prepared, but I imagine that had we, it would have been awesome. Staff were fantastic. Really friendly and helpful. Really appreciated them accomodating us. Would stay here in a heartbeat! (just with my own bedding, pillows and food)…

Only has lunch at the hotel - fish & chips - as sightseeing the area. Even though it was a wet and windy day there were people in having food...and the fire was lit. Good section of main meals and snacks.

We stayed in a studio apartment for a long weekend recently and will go back in a flash. The owners were easy going, friendly, and helpful. The accommodation is pretty standard with all the basics - cooking and eating utensils, table, chairs, double bed, linen, shower and toilet, and it's clean and comfortable, but the highlight is the view, and the vicinity to the great Lake Ferry pub. The small patio gets all day sun, and the lake is pretty as a picture - we also did a spot of fishing, with little success! It's super child friendly, and so is the local pub - which has a great outdoor area, and the food in the restaurant is always first rate.

The spot of the campground is just awesome! Friendly staff and clean and tidy. Kitchen, toilet and shower are quiet average and would need a renovation. Otherwise it’s a great spot to spend the holiday!

I was cycling the Rimutaka Trail in a group of 9, February this year. We had received acknowledgement by 2 emails from the Lake Ferry Hotel confirming my/our booking for one night whilst on this trail for 8 people. We contacted the hotel some months later to reconfirm our booking to be told NO you are NOT booked - we are full! No apology or reason how or why this could have happened. We were told to try the Lake Ferry Holiday Park. I then have an email confirming my booking for 2 in a Lakeside Cabin written early this year at the Lake Ferry Holiday Park. On arrival 'oh no that cabin is full, don't know how I lost that but you can go into the multi bunk room'. We then found out there was a wedding booked and the guests had obviously taken our bookings at the hotel and my booking in the Lakeside Cabin. Business is business but to not contact us. The hotel had 2 email addresses they had confirmed our bookings. To have contacted us with some sort of apology and also suggestions/contact details of where we could book. Very Poor. This treatment does not auger well in the promotion for Australians to travel over to cycle the Rimutaka Cycle Trail!…
