How far are you from town?
Wintersun Caravan and Tourist Park is quietly located 4.5km from the town centre. There is a 24hr Caltex Starmart and Morel’s fruit and vegetable plantation (seasonal) less than a 5 minute stroll away and an IGA supermarket just over one kilometre away. The park is nestled amongst fruit and vegetable plantations.
Are you set back from the road?
The entrance to the Wintersun Caravan and Tourist Park is set well back from the main road. The park is narrow at the front but stretches back 400m making all of the lovely sites and accommodation well back from the road.
Do you have a swimming pool?
Yes. We have a sparkling swimming pool located alongside our Camp Kitchen and Recreation room.
Do you have grassy shady sites?
We have acres of lovely grass and shady trees at Wintersun Caravan and Tourist Park. From October to early May you can take a look around our park and select your own shady and grassy site. We also have sites with cement annexe pads.
Do you have good drinking water?
All caravan/camping sites and chalets have excellent drinking water.
