Such a fun place to stay. We were in the glamping tent and had a fire pit with an amazing view of the lake. The whole area was very nice and the tent was comfortable. Bathroom very basic but it is a camp site. We went as a couple but I think if you went as a group, it’d be really fun to all get a tent (there were 5 in our hub), as they all share a little kitchen tent and the fire!

The Camp has a huge compound, ideal if you’re traveling with a Pet. The location is closed by Wanaka and not too far from Queenstown so pretty convenient. The place is quiet and has the basic facilities you need

I just stayed one night.The Denver tent was really lovely, with a really nice view, we stayed in denver tent 1. The Toilet and shower facilities were average for a camp. Everything was as expected and a nice night. Although the food truck was closed as they closed it a couple days before our stay which is unfortunate due to off season, but it all worked out and was alright. I would reccomend if your looking for some glamping in a beautiful area!

The glamping option was a novel idea. The tent was tidy, comfy and well equipped as was the shared kitchen mess.

The location was beautiful but the comfort of the stay could be improved with some outdoor lights so you can see what your'e eating for dinner and also a light to be able to see the toilet at night.
