Tui Base Camp

Was priced very cheap - room clean but very dated , camp kitchen needed a good scrubbing, broken amenities and no washing machine working - BUT hospitality was great and restaurant attached gave us one of the nicest and cheapest meals we had - took some famous sausages to cook away with us. We were in hostel so was cheapest accommodation they had - 4 people room was only $100

Had the feeling we weee the only people on the premises. Staffed closed the dining room early and we had to have a 4 Square meal.

Not the hostel !! Damn that was a horror movie! We were upgraded to a motel unit by friendly , understanding staff which was really appreciated. Motel had 2 rooms, one with 2 single beds, other has a double. kitchen, bathroom with wet floor shower & toilet.. It's a little dated, kitchen has twin gas hobs, big fridge/freezer, jug ect, Plates, cooking equipment. . Fantastic gas/electric heating which was very welcomed. Clean unit, super comfy bed. A chair on the deck outside the room would be great. The base camp cafe/bar had good food. Even catering for Gluten Free .Very friendly & helpful. Was a rather chilly night of our stay, but the unit heated super quickly. Had a comfy warm sleep. 4 Square is straight across the road for anything you might need. Bar and bottle store right next door if required. Just 10-12 minutes travel down the road to the famous Gemstone beach where you can spend literarily hours searching & beachcombing for treasure.
