There are so many things wrong I don't even know where to start…read more Sure, you get what you pay for but practices of this company go beyond nuisances and are safety and health concerning. I can absolutely not recommend doing business with them. Pay a little bit more and save yourself hassles and your vacation. 1) Starting with the airport pickup, I contacted them in advance and was told that I MUST call them from the airport. How the heck if you're coming from overseas and not have a local SIM yet? It adds so much hassle. Eventually I spent tens of dollars in roaming and was for minutes in the line. Eventually I was told to go where the hotel shuttles are. Went there waited, waited, waited. Turns out they waited somewhere completely different 2) Yes the vans are old which is ok. But what is NOT ok is how gross they are. No cleaning. Found other people's clothes and headlamps between the cushions. It stinks and the walls are greasy 3) Many things are broken and that's fine where but a safety concern. However, the gray water hose was broken (deliberately "fixed" with duct tape where it was leaking) and leaking at the connector as well. Whenever we had to dump half of the gray water was leaking in the floor! 4) We had a baby and booked a child seat with it. Only afterwards I learned that this seat including the way it was installed is plain illegal in NZ and jeopardized the safety of my baby

Scheduled an after-hours pick up. No one answered the phone, no one was at the site to pick us up…read more Had to taxi to hotel since no one was there to pick us up or transfer the car to us. When I asked for a refund of the after hours delivery, they refused and said it wasn't their fault. They wanted me to deal with the park and ride (where you pick up the vehicle after hours) even though I rented it through Lucky. When I asked the park and ride staff why they didn't answer or weren't there, they could not provide me a response. Lucky's still would not provide me a refund. This place is terrible. On to the car, the thing was a hunk of junk. When it shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, it felt like someone was running into the back of the car. Don't waste your time or money. Rent from a real car rental joint.

I just landed in in another country at an international airport that still has flights arriving and they have gone home for the day. Well, found another local rental car company (ezi Car rental) and got a nice SUV. When I called Jucy they explaind that they would be kepping my $166.00 deposit because I did not wait in the airport area till the next day for them to return. My advice is don't go cheap, you always pay more in the end. To Jucy, tacky way to get money by closing early and burning your customers.

If you want a rock bottom priced rental car, that's what you get. Also, you get what you pay for:…read morethe car was almost as bare-bones as the price. Everyone was friendly, and acknowledged that a budget car was going to have dings. I was encouraged to take all the pics I wanted, and then left on my own. The only thing I'd say they could do better would be some kind of refresher pamphlet on NZ road rules/signage. If I hadn't been to NZ before I would have been really confused about a number of things - fortunately I sort of remembered some things as I went. But a quick traffic rules run-though would've been appreciated. Returning the car was super simple, and shuttle to the airport friendly and quick.

The worst car rental car experience in 50 years. No signage in the Auckland airport, walk a mile to…read morethe pickup location, not an upgraded SUV but rather a rubbish 200,000+ km vehicle that was damaged on all sides with poor tires, non-working wipers, no power seats, no power rear lift - a bad, bad vehicle. To make matters worse, we were charged a one-way fee of $450 because of a Queenstown drop-off and they do not have a functioning location. I was instructed to leave the car in a church parking lot. After dropping my wife off in the Queenstown airport parking lot (in the rain), I had to walk a mile from the church back to the airport in the rain. Avoid Scotties - whatever you do! New Zealand is a wonderful country with wonderful people, Scotties of NZ does not fit the mold.

I came here recently for the first time with my daughter's school camp. It's in a lovely spot in a…read morevalley but I guess if I was choosing to stay in Piha I would want to see the water. I was more than happy to have the kids far away from it though and for a school camp this place was fine. I say fine because it just didn't feel very homely. I don't know if that's because of the makeshift nature of what the school was trying to achieve (kids in tents, no dining area just a big room to store their food and makeshift cooking facilities) or the camp itself. True the camp kitchen is the most well equipped I've ever seen and fairly clean as well. But maybe this was because the school staff had the run of the place? I'm not sure. I only have Camp Adair to compare it to and they are totally different beasts but are obviously used for the same things with school trips being one of them. The activities the kids took part in here were a little on the lame side and there's not much in the way of adventure infrastructure (i.e. nothing at all). In terms of accommodation there is one large dormitory and several smaller rooms with male and female bathrooms. I don't know, maybe I'm just not a camper but for a big group booking like a school I would choose Camp Adair any day. Probably it comes down to complicated school funding but interestingly the fees for this camp were more than those for the far superior Camp Adair (which included food where this one did not). This place is more for adults I think.

I remember this place from when I was a kid, and in primary school we came here for school camps. I…read morehave really great memories from the camp. It has a great location, set around the trees and not too far from the beach. We'd go for bush walks, we had a night time burma trail where all the adults through water and mud all over us and we made our way through the bush using peanut butter covered ropes. There's heaps of field area for tents, as well as the big dormitory that was split level. Perfect for boys on one level and girls on the other. From memory the top floor was all one room, with bunks lining the walls, and downstairs was separate rooms with two or three bunks in each room. The only thing is, there's not actually anything at the camp. All our activities were done elsewhere.
