8.4/10 Very Good! (206 reviews)
Great camping option just outside MT Cook national park. We stayed in cabin with three bunk beds. Communal kitchen was fun to meet other campers especially students and families. Shower house was big and plenty of hot water. Much more affordable the hotels in the park.

"Condition of room was very good. Very warm and quiet. Small kitchenette. Average size bathroom with good shower water pressure (although ran out of hot water one morning). Bed was a little too soft and bouncy for our liking"
