Old seadown school POP

We’ve just spent six lovely nights at the NZMCA POP in Seadown, at the old Seadown School. Even though we parked along the roadside, it was absolutely fine. There’s a water hookup available, and gray water can be emptied under the trees.

The old schoolhouse has been transformed into the owners’ home, and the property is beautifully maintained. There’s a large, flat grass area for parking, plus handy facilities including a toilet, shower ($2), and a washing machine ($4) and dryer under the water tower near the owners' home. The lawns and gardens are well cared for, making for a peaceful stay.

This can be a busy spot, but there’s no need to book ahead—just turn up and pop a donation in the box near the entry. Best of all, it’s only an 8-minute drive to Temuka or 10 minutes to Timaru’s Pak’nSave for supplies.

A great stop if you're passing through!Read more
