I KNOW a great place.. "The Staging Post" near Parnassus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (about 40ks south of Kaikoura!) We have had several of our Plains Club doo's there & a wedding!!! it's awesome.. several cabins, bunkrooms, big lounge area, 2 kitchens with all the gear, a few caravans, oodles of tent space, swimming pool, peacocks running round!!! spa pool outside with fairy lights in the trees above.. it would be PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok.. I've just phoned Gypsy to check details again.. & she has "pencilled" us in for the 8th of Dec!

For those who wish to arrive on the Fri night, that is fine also! If you stay both Fri & Sat night, it will cost you $10.00 per night. For those who stay just the Sat night it will cost you $15.00 for the one night.

There is beds for approx 34 people. This includes several cabins, a back packers, & a couple of caravans. There is a huge gorgeous park in which to put ya tents up also.

The big in ground concrete swimming pool will be ready for use, as will the spa pool! also a tennis court!

They have done a lot of tidying up & upgrading the facilities of late also & it sounds great what Gypsy was saying! There are a couple of toilet/shower blocks, & 2 well stocked kitchens for use. & a spit roast pit!! who could bring a sheep/pig????!!!!!

Trust me folks.. it's an AWESOME place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you won't be disappointed!!

Plains are having our next doo there beginning of Sept, so I will get some photos then & put them up so you can get an idea, if this is the chosen venue for the kb doo!!

easy girl... the poll isnt finished yet

**cold comfort** · 10th June 2007, 22:41

Gonna make a huge effort to get the time off for this one (assuming the Staging Post). Many favourite roads from the old stamping ground based in Nelson-Murchison,Lewis,Takaka Hill..the list goes on. Probably make a West Coast tour out of it to avoid the BORING road to ChCH!!
