All pre-booked balance fees are to be paid by November 30th 2021. Any cancellations after this date will incur a $20 fee and will be processed after 6 January 2022.

Cancellation of Concert: If the concert is cancelled then all fees minus a booking fee of $20 per person will be refunded.

Located just minutes from the city centre, we offer affordable camping in a bush-like setting with a variety of activities to suit your taste. Take a walk along the river, go mountain biking on the many trails in the surrounding hills, or take a dip in the nearby swimming hole.

For only $10 per person (non-powered), you can use our kitchen/toilets while camping under the stars amongst the beautiful native trees. Nature at its best.

So come, relax, and enjoy all that the Maitai has to offer!

*The Maitai Valley Motor Camp also makes a great base for exploring Nelson City. Check out our Activities page for more info.

Fun fact: The name 'Maitai' is known to Maori as Maitahi, referring to the black pine said to have previously grown on the banks of the river.
