👍👍 Absolutely stunning place and very few people as it's a long gravel road to get here and you have to walk all your camping gear over a steep hill as you can't get vehicle onto camp grounds

Lakelands Holiday Park
Campground
👍 We enjoyed our stay here due to the peace and quiet and the birdlife around the lake. Also there were plenty of mature trees surrounding the camp.

👍👍 Mt. Armstrong is probably the best day hike I've done in New Zealand. Lots of Changing vistas and not just a walk up a road. You are very much surrounded by nature. The tramp is fairly technical but did not feel exposed (summer). Brewster hut is newly built/renovated and excellently laid out. There...
