    One of the loveliest camp sites my partner and I have been to. We stayed in the pod, it was very clean and tidy and honestly exceeded our expectations. The camp site is surrounded by beautiful trees and a swimmable river. There were also two walking tracks only a couple minutes walk away, one led to a waterfall as well. Highly recommend!

    Double bed mattress was a bit thin, bunks were ok. Wall-Heater would have been ok on a cold day but on extremely cold days another heater would have been more comfortable.

    Family with 2 older children: We visited Ashley park in the middle of winter, Girls liked the playground and watched a Movie in the common room. We expected it to be cold and it was. luckily we took extra blankets and sleeping bags with us and we used the wall heater too Great that the accessible Cabins were set up with a bathroom between each set of 2 cabins so no walks outside, Hot showers were great!.

    We got there quite late in the pouring rain, but owner was so friendly to stay open and welcome us on arrival, very much appreciated. It was a pity we didn’t see much of the camping ground as it was already dark when we arrived, would have loved to have a good look around and to stay a bit longer.

    There could be some more illumination - with solar power lights maybe. It would be nice to have power on the site.

    Privacy and being able to have some peaceful and restful time. The pod is located on a separate area from the camping, which had a great view to the hill.

    The staff needs to be trained. On the day we checked out, it was pouring rain, and we hoped to park in front of the public bathroom for a few minutes to brush our teeth. However, the staff was very unfriendly and unkind, forcing us to walk in the rain. It was truly sad and uncomfortable.

    The pod is fine, but very small. No power, and no FREE WIFI!!!

    The room was clean but a little tired.

    The cute picture is not the accomodation. The room is in an older style purpose built multi room dwelling. The property has a history and the people are lovely.

    If it wasn’t for the husband, I would have rated this place 4-5 stars. The lady was really helpful and kind. The chalet was super neat and comfortable. They did a wonderful job making it and it was cozy, with nice lighting and picnic facilities . Only the husband was tyrant. Walking around on the campsite with 4 big dogs in a cage, checking if people behaved and follow the rules. I partly feel sorry writing this review because the lady was so sweet and I wish them good business.

    No reception.

    A very quiet, friendly, relaxed peaceful atmosphere. The waterfalls is an easy and beautiful walk after a heavy rain. Kayakers can be observed on the ashley River. Next time I want to have a go at kayaking. I will definitely be back in the future. Couple running the place are friendly/helpful. They let me borrow a pots/pans

    A comfortable stay that was up to expectations & fit for purpose. The booking agent was lousy.

    The accomoodation was a bit cramped for a family of 3 & wouldn't be ideal for rainy days. The people in the room next door were unfreindly & rude & the man in the room adjacent to ours could be heard snoring. The toilet / shower was clean but smelly - probably because of the neighbours. We knew the facilities were shared - it's not our usual preference but we were OK with it for a couple days. Booking.com were very diffcult to deal with, had little knowledge of the service they were promoting, didn't offer a refund & their web access, especially their "forgot password" function was terrible. I'll avoid using them in future. & wouldn't recommend them to anyone else.

    The accommodation was small, but functional & clean & warm once the heater was turned on. The Ashley Gorge area is familar from childhood & has lots of happy memories. The facilities were up to my expectations, although my wife being foreign, expected more. The lady proprietor went to a lot of trouble to adjust our booking which was initially 2 days longer, and secure a refund although I didn't insist on her doing it. The proprietors made up for booking.com's numerous shortcomings & were good, solid kiwi people. The facilities were well priced.
