## Reviews

Rated **4.3** on Google, 447 reviews, as at October 2026.
> Very quiet place, no traffic noise, with flat drive in drive out campervan/caravan sites. Good water pressure. Would be awesome for families in summer with the river and the bush right there. A nice bush walk starts and finishes at the campground. Bring your golf clubs, the golf course is only a stones throw away., Mark Eagle, 3 months ago
> Spectators bar and restaurant provided brilliant pub food with generous servings and so much choice. A live band played a variety of original NZ music while the race crowd placed bets and watched the races on numerous screens and or live on the harness raceway adjoining. A great night of quality food and entertainment., Kenneth Donaldson, 4 months ago
> Cup day has a good atmosphere and was quite enjoyable., Benjamin O'keeffe, 10 months ago
