Hi all Simon here.

After much searching and some level of frustration i have setteled on the idea of staying at the Feilding Holiday Park https://www.feildinghp.co.nz/

The cost is $35 per night per person
Or tenting options for those brave.

Call the office on 063235623 mention your from the MR2 club and they will place you close to where everyone else is staying.

Payment on arrival so no need to stress about money at the moment.

I'm booked to cross on Thursday the 21st and then back on Monday the 25th. Hope to bomb down the West coast on return journey in one hit if weather holds out with limited tourists. Might see some others on the road if you are traveling early.
