The Camp is in a fabulous location on the edge of Lake Hawea, it is very quiet and appears to be a lovely place for children to play. However, while adequate for a 2 night stay, I wouldn’t like to stay for any longer. The cabins are tired and dated. The was only women’s 4 toilets and the same number of showers which were grubby, particularly first thing in the morning. Likewise the kitchen. I couldn’t find a clean work surface to prepare food, and the bin was overflowing. I saw a man was cleaning his shoes in the kitchen sink which was not hygienic at all.

Beautiful location on the lake. Bit of a drive into Wanaka but Lake Hawea is beautiful in its own right. Facilities were simple, comfortable and clean. Requires a walk outside to shared bathroom. Shared kitchen facilities in good shape, have to pay ~$5 for kitchen supplies and they ran out when we were there.
