Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels
Really nice holiday park set right beside Lake Te Anau.
When we stayed, we had a site with a nice view of the lake. Bathrooms and showers are immaculate and very modern. The location is about a 15 minute walk into town.

Ellington Valley Camp
Nice campground with flush toilets, running water, and amazing showers.
There's a waterfall and hiking trail on the property. The camp host is the real MVP and expertly answered all my specific questions about native fish and eels.

Hampshire Holiday Park Wanaka
Location is unbeatable - walk 5 minutes from the holiday park to the lake and 10 minutes to town.
Our site had a view of the lake but most do not. Bathrooms got a bit gnarly, with hundreds of dead bugs in the bathroom sink in the morning. Didn't bother us. Can't comment on kitchen facilities as we ate out in town.

Little River Campground
Fun campground with lots of hidden surprises, composting toilets and beautiful longfin eels in the river.
A great place for kids and adult kids to run wild and explore the woods. Need to boil the water in the kitchen. Free wifi is fast. $15 per person to camp.
Hi Laura,
Thanks for the positive review which is appreciated. The 'boil all water' is a requirement of the city council health team, but we don't boil it and have never had a problem. Cheers Marcus

Kōhaihai Campsite
BEAUTIFUL end of the road camping right by the beach at the western end of the Heaphy Track.
Flush toilets and running water, no showers. Weka are everywhere. Sandflies galore so cover up, maybe even bug net and gloves.

Escape Campervan Rentals
Glad we chose Escape for our honeymoon campervan rental.
Pickup and dropoff were easy, comfortable bed, van did pretty well on unsealed roads. Screens on the windows would have been a lifesaver in sandfly areas. Put 3,540 km on it over the course of our trip and spent about $950 on petrol.
Thanks for your review Laura! Glad you guys enjoyed your honeymoon in NZ with us :-)
Cheers
