Nice and close to Mt Cook, very friendly and helpful staff. Powered sites are surrounded by trees and nice and private...more spacious than other parks. Shower facilities are basic but adequate - and at least they are free unlike other places. Lots of students staying but didn't see anything of them. Highlight of the stay was the visitor we had in the morning ...I'm assuming he was a pheasant...very tame and friendly....a pleasant surprise.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. Very pleased to hear you enjoyed your power site, its location and your friendly visitor! The pheasants are beautiful aren't they! I will pass onto everyone at Glentanner your great comments about their service.
We hope to see you back here at Glentanner in the future.

Thank you very much for your great review. The views are phenomenal aren't they (you can never get sick of them!). Yes our office is about 300m from the Holiday Park. The Centre is located close to the road, and the Holiday Park is purposely located so that it has great views of Aoraki Mt Cook, access to Lake Pukaki and of course shelter amongst the trees and native bush.
We hope to see you back at Glentanner in the future.

Not very modern but basic. Big BBQ area outside. Often they do have groups or school classes there, which may be a bit annoying.
Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed our fantastic BBQ pavilion and area. Yes we have school groups here, mainly just week days from Oct-early Dec and Mid Feb-April. We emphasise to them that they are not the only guests in the Holiday Park and they all in all are very well behaved! They also tend to use either the BBQ pavilion or the Kitchen so one is always free! As reflected in a review above they are busy with their own activities and don't really get in the way!
Thanks again, we hope to see you back at Glentanner in the future.

A wonderful campsite. We woke up and saw Mt Cook in the sun - very close. The installations were all OK.

Unimpressed by this site.
Really pricey considering its lack of facilities. What i mean by that is 3 showers and 3 toilets in the ladies is not enough for a large campsite that accommodates groups. I had to que behind 2 others to use a shower. The toilets weren't clean with bins overflowing and the tv room and kitchen had the weirdest unpleasant smell.
It is nice that the camp sites are in amongst trees and the night sky here on a clear night is amazing.
All you pay for here really is close proximity to mt cook which is still 20km away. I imagine its a great location when the sun is out but it wasn't when it rained.
Overall it was an ok campsite that charged too much just for its location.
Thank you very much for your review.
We are glad you enjoyed our campsite setting, amongst the native bush, and the clear night skies.
What a shame the weather was not very good while you were here, like you say Glentanner is a great spot - especially when the sun is out!
Sorry you were not happy with some of our facilities. Thank you very much for this feedback. We take all our reviews very seriously, and it really does surprise me to hear that the facilities were not clean. Cleanliness of our facilities is top on our list of priorities, and our feedback usually reflects this.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in New Zealand.

Great location and very convenient for Mount Cook Area. Booked flight seeing + Tasman Glacier Lake through them. Toilet/shower block needs upgrading.
