We stopped here as a "stop over" & to regroup & plan our last couple days in NZ, but ended up being pleasantly surprised.
We stopped at the information center) or "i" as I like to call it!
& got a tip on lodging...the Glenview Club. (?) ok...
Yeah, a "club" maybe like the American Legion or Swedish Social Club (for my family), we went in...dining room, bar, talked to bartender (maybe owner/manager), signed into a book & put in a "donation" of our choice- stay up to 5 nights!! :) so, $5 in the pot & out we went!
Park anywhere... There were 5-6 motor homes already parked
so we went into our own grassy corner..only a really cool (permanent?!) bus converted camper was set up!!
We went exploring, found the river, a cool secret/overgrown trail & an amazing & serious lawn bowling set up!! Scott thinks if Fran & George lived here they'd belong to the club & lawn bowl on a team! :)
This is the back of the "club" from the river.
Overall it started out pretty sketchy (to me), but proved to be quiet, safe (slept w/ our can door open breathing the fresh air) & cheap!!
We got up & when I decided to wander into a door which had been open all night ( appearing to go into a function room) surprise, surprise- a different bathroom (away from bar) w/ a HOT shower! Yay!!! Such a nice surprise! Well worth $5!! :)
