I was charged $20 for my dog which weighs just over 10kgs and according to their policy, is therefore classified as a big dog.

When I queried the amount I was told that big dogs are a nuisance.

However whilst I was walking my dog in the grounds of the holiday park she was attacked by an unleashed dog which belongs to one of the permanent residents. They apologised but I certainly won't stay here again. There are other much friendlier parks in the area.

Bay of Islands Holiday Park is one of the best I have ever stayed at.

Wanda, The Manager is friendly and so very helpful. Facilities are clean and well stocked. Grounds are nice and clean and tidy, with nicely mowed lawns. Facilites are well presented and clean. Beds are comfortable. I will definitely return.

Pretty location, but right on the main road.

Cabin was made of concrete, so cold, but tidy. Need to pay $8 for bed linen or can bring your own.

However the female toilets were a mess. There were multiple blocked & not fixed over the days we stayed here.

The kitchen was clean and it was nice to have our own assigned cutlery, but not a huge range of cooking facilities and had to pay to use barbecues.

We had a family cabin which could have slept 6 but we were only 2 people.

Superb value for money.

Easy booking

Friendly staff.

Really comfortable bed and a fridge in our room (the first one that's not been frozen up!)

Good kitchen facilities and lovely to have your own allocated crockery and cupboard. Nice dining areas (inside and outside) and lounge area.

The washroom facilities are dated but there are lots of toilets 😀 and the showers are brilliant.

Nice view of the river and only 10 minutes to Paihia.

Highly recommend.

Photos on website must be years outdated as run down.

Got to accommodation and room wasn't ready cleaners went thru mildew on window ledges, rubbish under beds and staff not very friendly 😑 needs alot of work to bring up to scratch. Pool table not working, showers in 1 part ready to burn people. Wouldn't recommend won't be coming back. Guess it's a place if you have dogs 🐕

Wish I could give it zero, genuinley don’t know how these new owners have any good reviews.

Can Honeslty say it’s the worst site we have been on after travelling the north and south islands extensively. Bathrooms filthy dirty no hooks on doors etc. also we’re not cleaned once during the stay and it was obvious (wet tissues near sinks for duration, tissues on floor and waste in toilets) water was only luke warm not “hot” camp kitchen was beyond words, nothing worked and just plain filthy. Could of dealt with this as we could cook in our own van however Jenny and Murray are the rudest people we had the misfortune of coming across. Attitude on the phone and when checking in. Murray constantly checking what everyone’s doing and left us feeling quite uncomfortable. Made my girlfriend feel especially uncomfortable and came across very creepy. Threatened us for using the wrong bin on accident and spoke to my girlfriend (aged 25) like only a bully would! He humiliated us Infront of other campers trying to enjoy there stay. He Made us feel uncomfortable the whole stay as we didn’t want to be around him. He spoke down to us the whole time whether it was because we were young and he felt he had “power” over us or he is just genuinley not a nice guy. We wanted to leave however he told us “good luck” when asked if we could have a refund and leave. We are not the type to complain at all as we are very open minded however this was our last night in NZ and we felt it had been completely ruined and was such a shame to end our trip on such a bad note. They are both in the wrong industry if they can’t speak to people with respect. The whole bin issue could of been handled so well however Murray chose to be aggressive, entering our van and swearing at my girlfriend. We were both very shook up for the rest of our stay and couldn’t wait to leave unfortunately. I can only hope that this review helps other young couples or infact any other guests steer clear of this site

Highly recommend beautiful place to stay especially with a huge group like we had.

Lisa and her partner (managers) went out of their way to make my dads 50th and our stay at the holiday park memorable, fun and relaxing. Quiet and safe and clean. We had heaps of noisey kids and sometimes adults and we had no issue. Has a park and pool and sports gear to hire. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY for groups big or small. The only downside id have to say was the staring neighbour in the motor homes (who stays and works there) and the fact you HAVE to be vaccinated. Id love unvaxxed to enjoy that place as we did.

Thank you Lisa for the awesome stay !
