Amazing experience here - we would happily return. The beds were SOOO comfy, the room so warm, and the staff were absolutely lovely. We did have a battle with the wifi, even after paying a small fee to upgrade package. But it was just too comfy!

We enjoyed our family stay here for 2 nights, and would stay again if in the area. Our 2 bedroom apartment site was clean and roomy, and the park had everything to keep our son entertained. We'd recommend to others!

Liked: Cleanliness
We checked in late, gate code didn't work, but the after hour attendant was able to get us in. It was a little hard to find our room in the dark but we eventually found it (they gave Decent instructions on the check in map but the parking spot paint number was faded out) The room was decent, carpet had some sticky candy residue, but overall clean. Would love to visit again and explore the holiday park more. The park is directly on the flight path of the airport and offers so great low flying viewing (noise too).

They made late check-in super easy due to our flight coming in late.

A deluxe NZ Holiday Park. Loved our studio for four and especially the play facilities for kids and beach walks for sunrise and sunset. Kids on the flying fox and jumping pillow most of the time. A family game of mini golf was fun and nice having a proper coffee at the cafe. Unit was perfect for a short getaway and prepared our own meals. Location really can't be beat. We would love to come again.
