Abel Tasman Coast Track
Georgeous scenery and fairly quite compared to other tracks.
Lovely campsites and beaches. We were lucky with the weather not sure would be as amazing without blue skies. Water taxis pretty pricey but worth it. Tong - Bark Bay best bit.

Abel Tasman Marahau Beach Camp
Advertised right on the beach but it's acxtually across the road and up a bit.
Only 2 showers + have to pay which makes prices not such good value. Generally V.good location though.

Depends a lot on what bus driver you get.
A lot of new drivers in Januarygot lost sometimes! Cost more than Kiwi; in generala bit less rowdy but was disappointing, they still stay the same hostels as Kiwi and they advertise small buses but mostly big buses. Had really good time though.

Alpine Pacific Holiday Park
Small so can feel a little crowded but top quality amenities + cabins + swimming pool.
Very good value.
Hi Emily,
Thank you for your feedback, we really value it. Our park is certainly not a large park and in peak periods it is busy. We do try to space people out as much as possible on the tent and powered sites. We are doing some landscaping adjustments to improve the sites and gain a little more space, so hopefully when you next visit us there will be more room for you.
Regards
Lee and Struan

South Brighton Holiday Park
Nice laid back area near good surf beaches.
Amenities good but may depend which site you get. Nice private tree lined sites and seemed to concentrate big families in one area.

Marlborough Wine Trail
Lots of wineries do free tastings of amazing wines eg.
Cloudy Bay you get 5 free (large) tasings. Great way to learn about wine and get tipsy for free ( some corkage though)
