We stayed here for one night with our two young children and dog. Our main motivation for choosing to stay here was that it was dog friendly. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and they were able to accommodate our change in arrival date, as we had car trouble. We had originally reserved a cabin, but highly recommend the additional expense of a self-contained unit. The space, warmth and convenience were really worth it. The children enjoyed the play area. Not right in the middle of town, so you may need to drive to get to amenities.

Stayed here for the second time (first one year ago) and was happy to find some renovations had been copleted and updating of rooms. Room were comfortable and well appointed with Flat screen TV and local info group. Playground was well received by 2 and 4 year olds.

There isn't anything wrong with this place, and there are limited options in the Ashburton area. But I didn't really like it. Hard to say why. The units were clean and comfortable and spacious, but the layout of the area is messy with campervans and units of different sizes all around. Quite a few people there, and my stay was outside peak season. The office/reception are wasn't always staffed, and I thought the price was a bit high. There aren't many options in Ashburton, but next time I would look for another spot (perhaps not Ashburton at all).

We stayed here for our first night after arrivals from overseas in Christchurch. The Kiwi-Brand park is located close to the Hwy 1 and about 1 hour drive from the Airport. The campground (we had a powered site) was in a good shape, facilities were clean and well maintained. "IAC"-WiFi and Internetkiosk, taps at every power pole. Being relatively small, the site might become very packed in the season. Some passing trains at night. Haven't seen any groceries in walking distance, public phone and gas station are about 5 minutes walk. Ok for an overnight stay.
