Great location and very welcoming!

Review of Waves Campsite
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Jan 2015
Originally planning to get to Havelock we pulled off the road early at this campsite as it was getting hot in the campervan and we were glad we did! We had not booked but the new owners are making their mark and were very welcoming. Kitchen facilities were definitely some of the best on our three week tour of the country. They were very clean and well stocked.

    Stayed here on many an occasions. Best way to break up the drive to Nelson or just put a few miles under your belt off the ferry. Value for money and a top spot-very pretty. Cabin comfortable and friendly owners with Havelock only a few minutes drive away for food. Highly reccomend as a stop before heading down the sounds.

    Just 40 mins. from the interisland ferries and easy driving to Blenheim, Havelock, or Nelson this is the place to stay for an overnighter or longer. The cleanliness of the facilities is outstanding and the hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Quiet power sites in the rural setting, along with cabins and backpackers accommodation are all available. Don't miss the opportunity of this well priced place to stay.

    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.
