Tasman Holiday Parks - Te Anau — Hotel in Fiordland Community

Our first morning was a little different than we had imagined. When we woke up we noticed that a huge puddle had formed around our tent. Our tent was about 5cm deep in water. Unfortunately, some water got into the inside of the tent at the corners, so everything was a little wet. After we dried everything temporarily, we left the tent. There we met a really friendly man who immediately offered to set up our tent in another location. He also offered to dry all the wet things in the tent for us. As it turned out later, the nice man's name was Mike and he had taken over the campsite a week ago. While we were warming up in the TV room, Mike worked on the clogged manhole cover in front of our campsite, as a large puddle had already formed around it. Unfortunately without success. When we met Mike in the kitchen a little later, he told us that he had lost his wedding ring while trying to open the manhole cover. After the conversation, we walked back to our car, which was right next to the manhole cover, and when we looked for the ring we noticed that it was stuck between two struts of the manhole cover. Mike couldn't believe it when we showed him the ring. Fortunately, it soon stopped raining again and we were able to set up our tent again in another location (our campsite was the only one flooded in the entire campsite), so we asked reception for a suitable location. When we told them that Mike had sent us, the lady at the reception quickly called Mike. After a short phone call, she asked us who had found her husband's wedding ring and when we explained how we had found the ring, she said that Mike wanted to offer us a free hour in the hot tub. Of course we are very happy about that. Every time we met Mike at the campsite, which was very often, all of us grinned. Somehow this story turned what was originally a not so good day into a day we like to think back on. The campsite was in perfect condition and one of the best we have been to in New Zealand. Thank you for the wonderful time. We wish Mike and his family all the best for the future and much success with...

I am not sure where to begin, this is how nice our stay was. We stayed 2 different nights, so we got to experience the private room with private kitchen and private bathrooms as well as a private room with shared bathroom and shared kitchen. Both experiences were wonderful. I am a camper at heart, so I love common areas and meeting people, and we definitely were more social on our second night + got to meet the owners and their sweet kids. Everyone was sweet, from the front desk (Sapphire) to the owners Mike and Christina + little Hudson, everything was clean and inviting: the indoor common kitchen, the outdoor grills and tables, the pizza oven, the hot tubs and sauna, the playgrounds for the kids, and the location is perfect. You can cross the street to the beautiful lake, you can walk to restaurants and the grocery store, and to an amazing city playground. Everyone we met at this holiday park was sweet and respectful. Would 100% recommend this place to stay a couple days on your way to Milford Sound and on the way back from Milford Sound. Perfect stop. Wonderful experience. And check out the view of the stars from the hot tub in photos below. There is also a TV room but we didn’t use at all. We were too busy being social and enjoying the outdoors. PS: excellent stop if you are renting a camper van and want a hot shower and a nice kitchen and...
