We loved our stay here! Amazing peaceful camping. Surrounded by amazing bush. The bird life in the morning is some of the best we've ever heard. We had Kingfisher birds flying down to our camp. Magic. The hosts were sensational, very welcoming. We can't wait to come back again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Akaroa campsite on Phoranna Farm. Andrew was a fantastic host and a great communicator from start to finish, which made everything easy and stress free.
The campsite itself is incredibly private and very spacious, especially impressive for a single site. It truly feels like you have your own little piece of the countryside, with plenty of room to relax and unwind. We only stayed for one night, but we really enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer. The $20 load of firewood was excellent value and more than enough for a cozy fire in the evening, with plenty left over for the next morning. It really added to the experience. The pit toilet was also a pleasant surprise. It was very clean and did not smell at all, which is not always the case with outdoor facilities. Overall, this is a peaceful and well maintained campsite with thoughtful touches and a great host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and private camping experience at the Akaroa site.

We loved Yarralen Retreat. I stayed 2 nights with my two boys. The eclectic camp ground has everything you need, including a shared fridge, cooking facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers, so you can pack light. The camp sites are nice and flat and the shower/toilet area is kept clean and tidy. We saw wallabies hopping about and other native birds. We stayed in peak season but we were still far enough away from others so it felt quiet and private. All the other campers we encountered were lovely and considerate.
It’s only 10mins drive to Grassy Head Beach which is beautiful. There are also plenty of places to eat at Scott’s Head.
I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to Julie for sharing your beautiful part of this country with us.

Eclectic Campgrund had a great kitchen with everything you need with recycled material and furniture. The gas stove doesn't work efficiently (due to using LPG bottles?). The showers were great with nice hot water. The biggest problem we had was the water quality. It was brown and we didn't want to drink. Overall, it was a lovely spot with a swimming pool.

We had a welcoming response from the first time we messaged to time we left.
We were moved as there was a lot of sun on our site and were moved to a new site which was well shaded and had plenty of from for our group. Plenty of fired wood provided and help when we needed it as we had a flat battery in the car.
Highly recommend staying here with very clean facilities and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we expected.

Well kept area, nice toilet and shower block and good undercover communal area. Campgrounds are on a slope with some areas cut in to be level. Nice surrounds with plenty of birds. Sound travels in the bowl, unfortunately had a baby crowing for a lot of the night. Otherwise was a pleasant stay for a night. Wood fire available. Recommend.
