Speights Brewery Heritage Centre
Loved this tour & the 30 mins of pouring & drinking your own Speights beers & cider at the end of the tour, meal was yummy too.
Speights Gold Medal Ale is our favourite beer, shame we can't buy it in Australia guys :-(

Skyline Luge Queenstown
We LOVED the luge, hint - buy a heap of tickets at the bottom before you go up on the Gondola, we only bought 2 & they were a little more expensive up the top.
Great fun, don't stress, you can control the speed & direction.

Glentanner Park
This was a beautiful holiday park to stay at, near a nice lake with views of Mt Cook, nice clean facilities & a nice cafe close by to have a meal in.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review Katie. It is great to hear that you had enjoyed our Holiday Park, the views, access to Lake Pukaki, and the Cafe!
We hope to see you back at Glentanner in the future.

Amber Kiwi Holiday Park and Motels
This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Amber Park & have loved the experience both times.
The staff are very friendly & helpful, the amenities are very clean & comfortable. The park has lots of trees & roses making it feel very homely. Would definitely stay here again.

Southern Discoveries
We did the Nature Encounters trip, the boat was comfy & the staff very friendly.
We saw everything that the other companies showed us for a slightly cheaper price. Only nature we saw was some seals unfortunately, but still it was a beautiful day out & we got to share the trip with a lot of friendly people.

Our 2nd holiday visit.

Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony
We loved watching the little blue penguins, great they can provide this facility where you can sit comfortably & watch the little guys come back to their homes.
Would've been 100% if some of the people could have controlled their kids better, but this isn't the Operator's fault.

Creeksyde is a great holiday park, the staff are very friendly & helpful, you can book your tours thru them as well.
The amenities are very clean & comfortable, the park is in close proximity to everything, you can walk into town easily & the park has heaps of trees in it. 2nd time we've stayed here for our holiday.

Glacier Explorers
We did this tour to Tasman Glacier & were blown away by the awesome sight of the beautiful icebergs on the lake.
They were all colours white, blue, black, striped, etc. Loved this, was well & truly worth the price.

Orana Wildlife Park
We loved the entire Orana experience, we did the Lion Encounter & went back on a 2nd day to do the Cheetah Encounter.
Loved the Cheetahs, was a truly once in a lifetime memorable experience, which I hope to do again one day. Staff & volunteers are friendly & helpful & the animals are gorgeous & all looked healthy & loved & cared for.

Sunrise Balloon Adventures
This was our first time ever for hot air ballooning & couldn't think of a better way to experience it.
Hugh & his team were friendly & helpful & the champagne brekkie topped the experience off. Thanks.

Apollo Motorhome Holidays
The first time we hired an Apollo 2/3 Hi-Top in Nov 2008 we were truly happy with our experience, the van was fairly new & everything was in perfect order & we were treated really well by all the
staff there so we decided to use Apollo again without getting any quotes from any other campervan operators.
This time we weren't happy. The van was approx 4 years old on rego sticker, the fridge had a musky smell so we had to clean it before we put food in it, the CD player didn't work, we found previous hirers small things under the mattress, a camp chair we hired was broken. So we've decided we won't use this company again. We still had a great holiday as it did get us where we wanted to go, but the experience this time just wasn't as great as last time in relation to the camper.
Hi Katie,
Thank you for taking the time to review us on Ranker's. I am sorry to hear that your second hire with us was not up to the standard of the first. You know from first hand experience how great hiring with Apollo can be and the issues you have mentioned are not typical of our company. We would appreciate you contacting our customer service department to discuss these issues, our email is customerservice@apollocamper.com
I am glad that your trip was still great and we do hope to hear from you again in the future.
Kind regards
Apollo Customer Service team
