The Brook Valley Holiday Reserve is a “no frills” back to basics traditional kiwi holiday camp. There are no fancy features here, even the mobile phone coverage is patchy (but we do provide good Wi-Fi coverage).
Get away from the holiday crowds and immerse yourself in a lush, peaceful valley surrounded by the rush of the river and native birdsong.
Our Holiday Park is perfect for families needing to escape the daily demands of life, or for school groups and reunions. It’s an ideal location for campers, walkers and mountain bikers who will enjoy being on the doorstep of some of the best historic walks, challenging trails, and spectacular vistas in the Nelson area. PLEASE NOTE: No dogs are allowed.
The Brook Valley Holiday Reserve is located at end of the Brook Valley, the holiday reserve is approximately a 10-minute drive from the Nelson CBD.
Public transport (the Nelson #4 eBus) service takes visitors to the entrance of the holiday reserve.
The Brook Valley Holiday Reserve is operated by The Brook (Waimarama) Sanctuary Trust, and sits adjacent to the Brook Sanctuary, the largest fenced predator-free Sanctuary in the South Island — a visit to the Sanctuary should be a “must-do” while visiting Nelson.
