Awesome Accomodation

Review of Waves Campsite
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Nov 2014
6 of us stayed in the Backpackers part of the accomodation for 1 night on our way to the Marlborough Sounds. We were really impressed with the clean and tidy rooms. The beds were extremely comfortable and everyone had a great nights sleep. Everything we needed was supplied by our great hosts Martin & Denise, even a handfull of sweets ! Just a few minutes drive from Havelock, we would recommend this accomodation for anyone travelling to or from the Marlborough Sounds.

We really enjoyed our stay at Waves Campsite. We had luck, because there was a BBQ for everyone in the evening so we had free meal and beer! The hosts Denise and Martin are very friendly and helpful. Everyone here is just like a big family, we felt very comfortable. Stayed one more night because we liked it so much, so we had a nice day at the sounds, just 10 minutes away. We will definitley come back.

We had a great night at this campsite. Stayed in a cabin, which was super clean and the bedding was warm and comfortable - big fluffy duvet and nice pillows too!
Situated on the boundary of the beautiful Kaituna River and surrounded by picturesque farmland, The Waves is a peaceful and pretty place to stay. The hosts are really friendly and go out of there way to help.
We would definitely stay here again!

Had a great stay here, cleanest and best campsite we ever saw. Stayed an extra night and did the mailboat run as well!! Fab experience!!! The atmosphere was magical and nothing was too much trouble and the staff were really friendly and fun to be around. Can't wait for a return trip.

Room tip: All rooms are fantastic, wouldn't' be dissapointed with any of them.
