Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa
Approximately 20/person.
Nice pools, but not very natural looking. Looks like a waterpark. This would be good for families, but some of the pools are adult only, which was really great for us. All in all though, we had a great relaxing time here and would go back again.

South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
Te Anau Tasman Holiday Parks
Showers and toilets were really clean and very well kept.
The kitchen was also clean and the cooking areas outside were great. The location is picturesque, just a short walk to the shops and scenic views. It was $50.00 for 2 adults for one night, but pretty comparable to most of the other places we stayed throughout our trip. The spaces are close together, but the location made up for it. If you want a hot shower in a clean facility then this would work well.

Kaikoura Kayaks
Great tour, nice operator.
Didn't get as close to the seals as we would have liked and they weren't very active, but that cannot be controlled. Our tour was cut a little short due to the weather, but overall it was a great experience and we would definitely do it again.

Jucy Rentals
We chose JUCY as it was the most cost effective for what we were looking for (self-contained with shower and toilet) The campervan was everything we needed and it drove really well.
We had a few issues with the GPS and WIFI along the way but their customer service was good and they gave us a refund on that part of our rental. I am giving them an 8 instead of a 10 because the look of the campervan is really tacky.

Wanaka TOP 10 Holiday Park
The cooking facilities outside were good and there were heaters.
Other than that, wasn't really that impressed with this park. Staff was good, price was average for 2 adults on a powered side, but there was orange netting everywhere as they were replanting grass through half the park, so that wasn't really very nice to look at and is why I am giving it a 7

Rainforest Retreat
It was ok, the location is good.
Short walk to town.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura
Quite pricey, we had really horrible weather and the sea was not great, but we didn't have much choice but to go as they were operating and we'd already paid.
The staff who handed out the wetsuits kept giving wrong sizes and even after we asked for a specific size they gave a different one that what we'd asked for, so suiting up wasn't a pleasant experience. I wasn't able to complete the swim as it was way too much for me and the waves were shocking. They did however refund my money and charge me a spectator rate. I think this would be a really wonderful experience in good weather, so I suggest you plan your swim around the weather.

Dart Stables
Was not impressed with their rules about weighing people to make sure they are under 95 kilos.
It should be stated on their brochures that they do this. It's not good practice in my opinion.

Moke Lake Campsite
The location at this place is awesome!
Toilets are drop toilets, but they are clean and well maintained. It's a rocky road to get there, but we did not have any trouble in our campervan. I would highly recommend that you check this place out.

Cape Foulwind Walkway
Great walk, this was one of the best parts of our trip.
Seeing seals in their natural environment was really special.

Jucy Cruise Milford Sound
Great price in comparison to all of the other cruises and with a JUCY van it was half price for the driver.
It goes the same route as all of the other boats, so would highly recommend. The staff were very friendly and some free refreshments were provided.
Cheers, Chris! Cruise on...
