Booking
Best to book

A friendly holiday park on the inland scenic route (SH72) with powered and tent sites and standard and ensuite cabins, set among established trees. It is a base for the Mt Somers tracks and for Mt Sunday, which was Edoras in the Lord of the Rings films. Christchurch Airport and the Mackenzie Basin are each about an hour away.

Good to know

  • Pets by arrangement
  • Good alternative to the busier Mackenzie parks
  • Fuel up beforehand; the high country is thin on services
