Rock Shelter Biv
About
Rock Shelter Biv serves South Island from Historic Southland Ski Hut Garston, Garston 9793, New Zealand. Visitors rate it 4.4 out of 5 from 130 reviews, a strong record for a campsite in this part of the country.
Garston sits in northern Southland, within reach of Queenstown, Wanaka, Te Anau and Dunedin, so the campsite works as a stop on a southern road trip. The site is known as a campsite in the Garston area, close to the old ski hut that gives the address its name. First-time visitors can expect a basic outdoor stay rather than a serviced lodge. A website at welcomerock.co.nz carries more about the site.
Northern Southland is a quiet stretch of the island, and the location suits travellers heading between the lakes and the coast.
New Zealand's temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild, and snow rarely settles at low altitude, though the far south can turn cold. Ferries reach Stewart Island and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
