Probably my favourite campsite

Review of Waves Campsite
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Mar 2018
Really enjoyed our stay at the Waves. Just outside Havelock, Waves Campsite is not a ‘mainstream’ campsite, it’s also used by locals and workers which gave it a wonderful atmosphere. Very clean facilities and a nice community room with a personal touch (the dead wood saloon). The manager Rae really went the extra mile and nothing was too much trouble. It was definitely one of my my favourite campsites in NZ!

    We are currently travelling new Zealand and booked into waves campsite about 45 minutes outside of picton. The facilities are very good and very clean the host is very congenial and knowledgeable about the area. You are 10 minutes from havelock, 20 minutes from the winerys, breweries and 30 minutes from Blenheim. I would with no hesitation recommend this campsite. Also very competitive prices which always helps!!!

    Well this camp is just a wee bit unique. Sisters Sheila and Heather are the most amazing hostesses. Nothing is too much trouble. Just ask. They will see what they can do to help make your visit memorable. We stayed off and on while we went out on our boats overnighting. Sheila could share her local marine knowledge and weather reports. Big help!!! The girls were happy to run us in and out of Havelock by at range arrangement and negotiation. We were able to store our cars and boat trailers and we even negotiated a ride to town so we could have a night out. Thanks Heather. You are a star. The Dead Wood Saloon is cute and certainly made it a fun social stay. We would we not think twice about where to stay when in the area again. They have ability to accommodate every traveller. Well done Heather and Sheila for providing a great bit of kiwi hospitality.

    We stopped in Waves on our way back to Picton.

    Great facilities with hot showers, loads of kitchen area and clean bathroom.

    Nice stream in the paddock for a little dip and rock skimming which was nice on the hot day!

    Heather and Sheila were really helpful and would recommend for a stopover on the way to Picton, or if you have a few days in Havelock.
