Sinclair Wetland Reserve

4.6(57 reviews)

About

Sinclair Wetland Reserve in South Island sits at 854 Berwick Road, Berwick Forest 9073, a rural address placed within reach of Dunedin, Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura. That spread of towns makes the reserve a workable stop for travellers moving between the island's southern centres.

As a campsite, it gives visitors a base among wetland surroundings rather than a serviced holiday park, and the 4.6 out of 5 average from 57 reviews reflects how those who have stayed regard it. The reserve takes its character from the wetland itself, which is what draws campers to this corner of the South Island.

First-time visitors should arrive prepared for a rural setting, with supplies and fuel sorted before leaving the nearest town. Opening hours are not part of what we hold, so the website at https://www.tenohoaka.org.nz/ is the place to confirm arrangements ahead of a stay.

Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer falling between December and February and winter from June to August. The temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild, and snow at low altitude is uncommon in winter. English is the main language, and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country.
