old school kiwi camping charm

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 Jan 2020
Myself and family spent 5 nights here over new years eve, and I cant say enough wonderful words about this camping experience. From the absolute stunning views and access to the lake to the friendly and cheerful staff and a+ coffee.
facilities were always clean, showers hot, staff smiling and campers happy. this all took me back to when I was a kid camping with my parents, sites where you could have your own space or enough to accommodate the bigger groups, all with the stunning views of the mountains and lake brunner making every morning a breath of fresh air. knowing that this camp ground only recently changed hands and the work to improve in such a short space of time can only excite you as to what these people can achieve in the coming years. such a gem of a place that we will definitely be seeing again and cant wait to see what tony,jo & mark have install for the place.

We stayed two nights recently, on what were pretty average weather days, but the location of the holiday park for Lake Brunner views was amazing.

The camp has recently changed hands and a lot of work has been done. The facilities are functional, clean and tidy and the showers hot and have great pressure. It's a true kiwi camping experience with an old school camping charm.

The lake and many walks are within a short walking distance.

Coffee from the wee, very well stocked shop, is as good as, if not better than, any we've had in Wellington city's cafes.

We will be back and we are already recommending to our family and friends.

Thanks for the great hospitality.

Stayed here, purely by chance, on the first night of our trip back in NZ early in November. We will definitely be going back - really peaceful stay. Lots of work ongoing to upgrade the site - the facilities were also really clean. Had a long chat with Jo (joint owner) who we met walking by the lake - lots of really interesting local info. Cheers Jo.Sounds like we missed out on the coffee though :(. We'll get one next time

Have always loved our time in Brunner, now have the added attraction of a great coffee which we experienced for the first time today. Brunner not the easiest place for new business so will be fully supporting this one. Only problem is that we don't won't to share Brunner with a lot more people. Jane
