Pounawea Motor Camp the catlins camp — Hotel in South Island

I booked this place over the phone and the guy on the phone was very rude when booking it. I booked it for my girlfriend and myself for a nice break away without the kids over the long weekend, just one night Saturday till Sunday. I reseved a phone on the Thursday night asking what time in checking in, I said i booked for the Saturday for the one night, he said i booked it for 3 night, he said see you saturday and he put the phone down on me. On arrive to the camp grounds to check in the lady behide the desk was very rude and said to me that she gave the room i had booked to someone else, as the credit card number I gave them was wrong! If it was wrong why not phone me, this is the worse server I've every had. but there was a silver lining from the camp grounds next door Karamea holiday Park, great place to stay and lovely people.

Room smelt strange - rather than being well aired - it had two stinky toxic air fresheners - yuck. Otherwise was clean, although litter on the ground outside around the cabin. No tap in room or nearby - have to walk to kitchen to get water to make a cup of tea. No bin in the room(?). Fridge never turns off.||Showers high pressure, but water savings heads should be installed. No bench for sitting while dressing - near impossible to get into clothes dry. only 2 toilets for men and 3 for woman - not sure how it copes when it is busy.||No extractor fans in kitchen for any of the cookers - pretty unhealthy. No recycle bins on site, nor a compost bin for food waste, paper, etc. We really need all businesses to do their part for the environment. Erosion along front of site pretty bad - needs repair sooner rather than later..||Nice not to have wifi in rooms or tv - but then why high price tag ($85) - certainly make 2nd night cheaper as you don't have to clean after 1st night? tv room was in with the kitchen and only seats for 6 - a separate room would be...
