Lower Hollyford Valley Road,Fiordland National Park via Te Anau, Southern Lakes, South Island

DESCRIPTION:

'The home of legends, tall stories and laughter.' A page out of history, set on the banks of a glacial stream at the bottom of the hill before the Homer Tunnel, turn at the Lake Marion/Hollyford track corner. There are no power sites as the only electricity is from a generator, only turned on in the evening so you can charge your camera batteries. A new recreation building is ready and houses a kitchen, ablutions and lounge, this facility has disability access. There is a fridge available in the kitchen/dining area, well actually the fridge is masquerading as a freezer, as there is only enough electricity to run it as a fridge! The camp store has food, a selection of Bowenite Greenstone, NZ books and souvenirs for sale, there is a petrol pump too. This is a great base for hunting, fishing and tramping with many day walks for the family, and the Hollyford and Routeburn tracks are close by. Check out New Zealand_s silver beech tree with the largest girth, or pay a visit the Humboldt waterfall, and in the evening see the glow-worms. Spend some time in the museum and wonder at the difficulties encountered building the Milford Road and Homer Tunnel and see the origins of this unique camp. Campsites are in private hideaways so plenty of privacy, and is owned by The Hollyford Museum Charitable Trust. The management teams are AJ and Sandra, or Debbie and Mark. Primary aged children are $6 and under 5 years are free. There is no phone here due to its remote location so make your bookings by email.
