Reviewed May 9, 2025We stayed in one of the cabins. They are a basic room with 1 x bunk bed, 1 x double bed and 1 x single bed. There is a small table with three stools to sit on. Odd that 5 x beds and 3 x stools! There was a small fridge, an oil finned type electric heater as well as an electric kettle. There is only one power point in the room. There was a supplied multi plug power box. We found that there was an outside tap at the end of our block of cabins for water for coffee /hot drinks etc. There was to very comfortable Cape Cod style chairs outside each unit. If you want a good shower go to the portacom shower block. It has mains water pressure. The main shower block is gravity fed and the water only sort of trickles out. Not what we wanted after a hard day at work and just wanted a hot shower. Kitchen facilities were fine with plenty of cooking/preparation space. There is also plenty of eating space with a long dining table in the kitchen. We were in the area working so was using the place a base for lunch/dinner and somewhere to sleep. I would have no problem staying here again and probably will when next working in Hawea.
Chairs with backs to sit on in the cabins. Very hard to get comfortable sitting on a low stool

Everything was as expected and a nice night.

I would reccomend if your looking for some glamping in a beautiful area!

Proximity of glamping tent to the other similar tents. It was very easy to hear fellow campers especially at night which made sleeping very difficult. The kitchen dining space did not have an electric jug instead a small 2 burner hotplate which took a long time to boil the jug. Also sink for washing dishes was outside so when it rained we were as wet as the dishes.

Kitchen was not well equipped, out of the three days we stayed one of the days there were no towels or soap to clean the dishes with. Not okay considering the facilities were “cleaned” every day.
