what's there

Rustic, in a good way

A building with a kitchen for hot drinks and breakfast
A composting toilet by the building
A cold shower by the plunge pools and the river
the river is cold and fast. daylight dips only, never alone.

bring

Your kit

Tent, mat and a warm sleeping bag. December nights in Queenstown drop to single digits
Head torch, water bottle, earplugs, a towel
Your party outfit and lights in a bag. The changing tent will hold it
ask us if you need to borrow a tent. a few will be around.

families & quiet

Two softer options

A family corner, set well back from the music, for anyone with kids
Prefer a real bed? The Hilton sits between WellSpace and John & Maggie's. See Where to Stay

house rules

Keep it simple

No personal fires, fireworks or sparklers. Fire season, farm land
Cars in the car park, tents on the grass we point you to
Pack out what you pack in
message Lana to say you're camping, so we plan the loos and breakfast for the right number.
