This park was everything we hoped for when booking. Stacey was an absolute asset, she was so helpful, so kind and really cared about her guests! - The 40 minute waterfall walk was everything the kids dreamed of! Having a playground onsite for the kids was probably the biggest highlight. - The glow worms are all throughout the park we even had some on the bank behind our tent! - They have a very basic shop onsite as well which is awesome because there's always something that you forget! - I didn't use the laundry here although they do offer coin washing machines. The showers were cleaned daily, the lounge had plenty of space and you could cook in here and use the fridge/freezer.

- West Coast Rain! Next time I will definitely be taking a tarp for the tent or booking a cabin! The weather here can be several seasons in one day. - I also advise purchasing okarito sandfly repellent as it is the only one string enough for the west coast sandflies. - The park could also consider making under 5's free as most other places do this.

The atmosphere was quiet. The host took the time to explain the campsite layout and where to find glow worms in the campsite, which was very helpful. There was also a small shop in the reception, for any last-minute groceries. Additionally, the campsite had a sauna and hot tub that you could book, and Wi-Fi vouchers were available for purchase. The glow worm encounter was definitely the highlight of our stay, and the fact that you get to see them really close is amazing. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed to prepare a meal.

Finding a flat surface was challenging. We had difficulty sleeping in our campervan as it wasn’t parked on level ground. If you check in early, it would be much easier to secure a flat spot. Bathrooms were ok.

The campsite was truly special! We stayed at a non-powered site and we were surrounded by mountains and glowworm sites private for campers and even a waterfall track! The facilities - kitchen and showers are clean and there’s a playground for children and the young at heart. The owners are very welcoming and attentive to our needs. Would definitely recommend and come back! 😊 It was magical!

Nothing really except for the sandflies, which is to be expected with the lush bush and nature tracks surrounding the campsite but nothing a good repellant can’t solve. 😊

Excellent facilities and very clean. Unpowered sites are separate in the bush so there is some degree of privacy.

The kitchen and common area was very nice, and the glow worms were very cool to see! The little cottage was cute. Easy check in and check out process.

Cobwebs and spider nests in the room, they were easy to see and probably would have been easy to clean quickly. Maybe this was listed in the room description, but I don't think there was any heat either, so that's something to keep in mind if you book during autumn/winter. I had to fold my blankets over themselves to make additional layers.

It’s a beautiful place surrounded by nature. Our unit was small but very cute, the bed was comfy, we each got 3 pillows and there was table and chairs in the unit which is all we needed. The bathroom area was large enough never had an issue with being full! The kitchen/dining area has lots of space!

The kitchen only has 2 cooking stoves however we always went a bit before it got busy and it was never an issue. Didn’t love how the bathroom doors were locked but that’s minor inconvenience.

Great location, wonderful nature ambiance, there's even a nice waterfall hike and glowworms at the property. It's very calm, the Kiwi room was very comfy (and near the bathrooms so no long walks in the cold to the shower 😉). The amenities were nearby and offered everything we needed, and there is even a small shop at the reception for your basic needs. Our only regret is that we didn't book another night here as well.

The electric blanket on the window side of the bed in Kiwi cabin didn't work unfortunately. But it wasn't a big issue for us + we've notified the staff and they said they'll take care of it.

The hosts had a lot of useful information. It is in the middle of nowhere. The converted barn was a unique accommodation. The associated features of the property such as the glow worms were great.

It was hard to dodge the chickens (and their poo) at the doors. The one bathroom downstairs was small and cold for the 5 people staying. The stairs were steep and narrow, with little head room. A lack of power points.

The property was absolutely amazing, best place to go to relax in nature, unwind and rejuvenate. Loved waking up in such a peaceful setting with native birds. The waterfall and glow worms were spectacular and so close to walk to. Staff were wonderful, and very helpful. I highly recommended Jackson’s retreat, such a hidden gem surrounded by lush forest.

Nothing

Extra things on the property like the glow worms and the waterfall and even fresh eggs from the little store. Really appreciated the fluffy bath mats in the showers! The communal dining/ lounge was really lovely with gas stoves and a fireplace!

Main steps to and from the kitchen were uneven, can be a little steeply sloped and a bit slippery, especially in the dark. Almost tripped and fell a few times even with my phone light.
