Lonely Planet review

“Heading east across Arthur’s Pass on SH73, 63km from Greymouth, the tiny settlement of Jackons can be found nestled beside the Taramakau River. Campervan travellers and tenters can stay at Jacksons Retreat, a superb holiday park set upon 15 sloping acres with exceptional views and stacks of excellent amenities. Our independent authors have visited Jacksons Retreat and selected this as one of our recommended accommodation in Kumara.”

Our Unique Covered Camping Barns won an Innovation Award!

Two large purpose-built barns with 8 sites and spectacular views over the Mighty Taramakau River, TranzAlpine Railway or the Snow Capped Southern Alps provide a covered retreat from the West Coast UV rays, rains or alpine snows, and these have won us an Innovation Award from the Reserve Group “Passion for Tourism”
