Picton Campervan Park — Hotel in South Island

we booked into this place because it was 'dog friendly'. we booked 2 cabins for the night and put in the comments that I had the dogs and they would sleep in the ute. heard nothing from them so assumed all good. arrived to be told that the ute will need to be parked at the other end of the park instead of outside cabin in case they bark. I get that they want quiet and that's fine I agree but if my dogs are miles away from me I have no way of stopping them if they do (which is rare). after some talking with them thru agreed that we could park them closer so that's good. got them out to toilet them in the grass and he runs over with a list of rules for us which said they weren't allowed to be walked or toilet ed on the grounds we have to take them elsewhere. in my opinion this is not dog friendly at all and I will never recommend...

Staff at reception were super friendly and welcoming. We found this a great place to stay and definitely...

I took a room $85/night that contained a comfy bed, small sofa, small table & 2 chairs. The room was very clean & apart from the sliding door, (lockable), there was a window both of which had big curtains. If you needed to get up in the night men had to walk to the other side of the main bldg whereas women went to an area on the same side as reception. Apart from that the owners were very helpful & I would definitely stay there again. There are 4 rooms like mine with good parking plus there is a kitchen with a the mod-cons but I didn't use that. All up I thought this was a great place to stay bearing in mind that it catered mainly for campervans with several sites up for hire. The evening I stayed the entire...
