We stayed one night and the rest of the next morning didn't want to leave. Lynn and Brent were so friendly my partner went riding (horse) with their daughter Adalaide and I spent the time looking at the animals and was introduced to Wally their baby wallaby. The place was clean and tidy. Don't understand why anyone could write a... More

My fiancee and I stayed overnight and we had a wonderful time. The facilities were spotless and the owners were extremely friendly. We were even introduced to their baby wallaby! We both travelled the South Island for nearly a month and this was by far one of the better sites we have stayed on. Whoever wrote that previous review must... More

We stayed here for one night. It was the worst that we stayed in in nz. The cabin we stayed in was old. The inside doors wouldn't stay closed and the bathroom window was broken so bugs could get all through the house. The grounds and animals were nice but the playground looked unsafe. Definitely not value for money. More

My friends and I used the Kiwi Park as our base between fishing trips on the South Island. The facilities were well-maintained (tidy lawns and gardens, clean bathrooms, clean communal kitchen), and the surroundings are beautiful (big mountain looming above). Over the course of our time at Kiwi Park, we got to know the owners, the Winter family, pretty well... More

A family park should be adjusted to families and as such, I have expected for more. The playground facilites were poor, old, broken and unsafe. I had to ask my children not to play there.The movies CD hire was the most expensive I have ever encountered in NZ - $8 per night. In many places the CD's are borrowed for... More

I had the pleasure of spending an extended amount of time at the Murchison Kiwi Park. It is purely a family run business by some very friendly people. Lynn, who works the reception desk is always super pleasant to see. She is a great conversationalist and always full of life. Brent is the workingman of the place and is in... More

Thanks for the great review! The space, peacefulness and access to the Animal Park are a real draw card of our business and we always love to hear (usually face to face) what a great stay people have and the number of repeat customers never ceases to amaze us. Many thanks again and I'm sure we will see you again... More

We spent 2 nights in the self-contained units and have to say that this was the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in. The accommodation is really old and definitely needs renovation. The wallpaper came from the walls and the carpet was pretty dirty. The very small bathroom was full of insects and moscitos. Unfortunately, the hosts could not help... More

Thanks for your review. Unfortunately it was a case of the wrong style of accommodation chosen by this couple, and we were unable to upgrade them due to having no vacancies. We do apologise there was no farm show as one of our European guests had a medical emergency and needed transported to Hospital in Nelson and their wife didn't... More

This was a lovely clean family-oriented park. We are travelling in a motorhome so our main concerns are with the bathroom and kitchen facilities. The kitchen was fine. The bathroom, however, required 50 cents for a shower - the first place we have come across in New Zealand to charge extra for this facility. The big problem with this is... More
