Whangarei TOP 10 Holiday Park

Welcome to Whangarei Top 10 Holiday Park, your ideal holiday accommodation choice in scenic, sub-tropical Whangarei.

Gateway to stunning Northland, the birthplace of New Zealand, Whangarei is a great place to base yourself at, whether exploring the local district and its many attractions, or for day trips further afield.

Whangarei is quite literally the city of 100 beaches – and we know all the ‘secret spots’. Where else could you have white sand and turquoise water to yourself all day? If that sounds too relaxing, you could visit famous Whangarei Falls, take a tour out to see the largest sea cave in the world, dive or snorkel at the world-renowned Poor Knights Islands (best sub-tropical diving in the world), browse art galleries and museums, visit the large cats at Kingdom of Zion, try some of the superb bush or coastal walks and hikes, or tour an award-winning local winery.

Our small, picturesque Holiday Park, situated down a quiet side street, is bordered by Parihaka Scenic Reserve, and with native bush-clad hills as our backdrop and a lovely river running just behind our Park, the peace and tranquillity will have you feeling like you are miles from anywhere. You’ll be amazed that the heart of Whangarei city, as well as the Town Basin and Quayside Marina, where great restaurants and cafes overlook the picturesque yacht harbour, and where you'll find museums, art galleries, and boutique artisan shops, is less than 2 kms or 3 minutes drive away.

Enjoy the space, privacy and quality of a studio, 2 bedroom or 4 bedroom motel, perfect for a great getaway. Separately situated, with roomy, natural timber interiors and outdoor patios that capture the sun, you’re guaranteed a relaxing break.

With self-contained units (2 bedroom), ensuite units, or cabins to choose from, you have plenty of options to suit your budget. All of these units are rated 4 star, and have decks overlooking stunning NZ forest reserve, right on our boundary.

With just 50 campsites, right next to Parihaka Scenic Reserve with its back-drop of bush-clad hills, the peacefulness and ambience make a perfect setting. Choose a grass or all-weather hard site, all of which are close to amenities

    Small site with generous pitches. Close to town but feels out in the country. Extremely friendly and helpful manager. Good clean facilities.

    Loved the clean modern showers here with a wand and handy shelves for your soap & shampoo.

    The shower cubicle has many hooks to hang your clothes & is well designed so the bench stays dry. This is how they all should be. The only minus are the motion activated lights in the kitchen and bathroom will turn off unexpectedly. All facilities are immaculate and the reception was warm and helpful. The WiFi is one of fastest I’ve experienced.

    It's a top10 so it's always great.

    They have free clean hot shower, hairdryer, wifi, gaming room (with a pacman game and a babyfoot).

    The kitchen is nice but hard at night to make the lights working and a long time, same for the dining area who is not completely close so it is quiet cold during cold and rainy day.

    The owner was super nice.

    The reception shut at 7pm and it was a struggle to understand the explanation of after hours office so i ended up taking a spot that was already taken by someone.

    It was 30$ for one person unpowered.

    Good compact holiday park just outside the town centre of Whangarei, nicely located beside the Hatea River and handy for the riverside walking track (either into the Town Basin or upstream to Whangarei

    Falls - which is well worth the walk). Good facilities, with large and clean kitchen and bathrooms. Only real complaint would be the price - $48 for an un-powered site for two adults.

    We stayed here for two nights due to a diving trip.

    Hi Folks,

    We have been around in September 2015. The place is clean and the facilities are as expected by a Top Ten Holiday Park. Everything is in a very good shape. The playground is in a good shape. It is not a very special or fancy park, but a solid good one. The price is as expected by a Top Ten Holiday Park. No bad surprises, but also no god surprises. The camp ground has a nice size.

    cheers

    This park was nice and quiet.

    Amenities were good, but had to press a button on the showers after 5 minutes to keep the hot water going (and the button was on the outside of the shower door). The kitchen and laundry was good. Had to pay to wash and dry the clothes. Powered sites were reasonably priced and the service was friendly.

    We stopped over at this top 10 holiday park to split up the drive from the north as the free sites available south of Cape Reinga weren't great.

    We really enjoyed the site, a little pricey ($44 for 2 adults in a large camper for one night), but got free internet (100mb) and managed to do a couple of washes ($4 per wash, $3 per dry). Each campervan spot is concrete, with electricity and a fresh water tap. Showers were lovely, nice and clean and hot! Worth it for a comfortable night in the camper.

    I often come here and hire a cabin as a base for activities in the area.

    Always really friendly/helpful, with nice facilities. This time we took a powered site.....nice concrete pad provided.... nice modern clean bathrooms, free showers, good kitchen with under cover seating. Didn't get to use the free BBQ area... the only problem we had (nothing to do with owners! ), we arrived on the coldest night nationwide this year..brrrr

    Am advised it has just been taken over by a new owner who formerly ran another well ranked Top Ten.
