Hi, we're Nola and Todd Morgan
Hi, we're Nola and Todd Morgan
The Morgan family has run Ohiwa Beach Holiday Park since its inception in 1988/1989. In late 2000 my husband Todd and our children, Dean and Renae arrived at the park. With time and a lot of hard work, the park has been built up to have full facilities for camping and a selection of units.
We made a commitment to be responsible for this special piece of Ohiwa for future generations. We have been rewarded with several awards for sustainable business practices which are still in place today.

Information
Ohiwa Tasman Holiday Parks
Family fun starts here
Set on five landscaped hectares beside the sparkling Pacific Ocean and a sheltered harbour, our Ohiwa Beach holiday park offers the best of sea and bush.
The park is ideally situated with easy access to the towns and beaches of the eastern Bay of Plenty, and one of the great New Zealand road trips around the East Cape.
But you don’t have to travel far for the good times. It’s just a few steps from the park to the magnificent Ohiwa Beach where you can surf, swim, fish, walk or read a book beneath a pohutukawa tree.
Hire a kayak or paddleboard from reception and explore Ohiwa Harbour, or enjoy a walk in the coastal nature reserve adjoining the park.

Beautiful remote spot, directly on the beach, very relaxing and friendly with amazing views from the rustic, clean kitchen:-) make sure you ask for a Seaview site, so worth it!
Kids loved the swimming pool, bouncy pillow and go carts, Ruby, our dog, enjoyed running on the beach, we definitely will be back!

Absolutely gorgeous spot right on the beach.
Not crowded despite it being school holidays. We had planned to stay only one night but extended to 2. We really enjoyed the night bush walk to see the glow worms!

We watched the Gabrielle trajectory forecasts and headed for this lovely place to sit it out in our rented camper van.
No hardship! Peaceful and well-spaced sites, even when it was busy at first. Wonderful managers who gave everyone TLC through the storm and are just great people. Clean toilets and showers, some basics available in the office, most sites are sheltered by the treed hill, and of course, you have the lovely beach, fishing and surf. A good walk up to the Pa above the camp to commune with sheep and cows. Highly recommended.

Nola and Todd are legends, the location and facilities are sublime.
We bring groups to Stay at Ohiwa and are never disappointed. I like to cook for our groups and the pavillion kitchen is the best!

This was our first visit to this camp and we were delighted.
We visited with our Campervan and had a Power site overlooking the sea. The property is wonderfully situated right on the beach, its location is quite a remote area making this a quiet relaxing site. Although we didn't try it ourselves it's obvious that there is good fishing from the beach. Facilities are spotlessly cleaned and maintained. Showers are 50c for 5 minutes so remember to bring actual coins with you. We will certainly be back.

The cleanest place I've ever stayed.
Was perfect venue for a group retreat weekend.. with beach and bush walks right on the doorstep. Todd and Nola are fabulous hosts. Can't rate it highly enough :-)

This is our third or fourth time staying 😁Just the two of us a couple of times then our two youngest children with us the next time, then our adults kids this time along with our mokos, and my parents
, brother, his wife and our nieces on the last night of our stay.
I recommend the showers around the beach side they're more modern than the older ones near the games room. We stayed in the basic kitchen cabin which was great. Pool wasn't heated (was advised on the booking) but the kids still braved the dip! We went to see the glow worms that was stunning and only a short walk in the ngahere. 🌳🌿Toilets and showers are always clean as in the cabins. My only concern is that there is no hand towels or air dryer to hygienically dry your hands in the camp toilets.
The proprietors are always lovely and of course the location is stunning.
We will be back as usual :)

Do not rent Tourist Flat 1.
The online photos are from Tourist Flat 2 which is bigger. We feel this is misleading advertisement as you expect the tourist flats to be similar in size. Flat 1 is too small for 3 people. Bunk bed ladder health and safety issue as you cannot get in a safe way in and out of the bed. There is no space for bags. Rat trap at back of unit. Noise during day and evening from glass recycling. In the first day there were fireworks at night. Wifi worked only intermittently on Android tablet, not on Android phone or Windows 10. Wifi so unreliable that after a while we used mobile hotspot on Android mobile phone. TV cable broken and shield wires sticking out. Had to buy rope in local hardware shop to hang our wash on.
Be very careful with the kitchen hub. It looks like an induction hub but it is not. The hub stays very hot for a long time and you can see something glowing under the glass while cooking.
We expected a bit more from a cabin paying almost $200 per night and decided to leave one day early.

This is a fabulous spot.
You need a car to get there but once there you are in a beautiful location. The cabin we stayed in had everything needed and was very comfortable. Another heater was provided when asked for. Excellent fishing from the beach there.

Excellent place to stay for a quiet, peaceful, Autumn getaway.
Super clean, helpful staff with the beach a short walk away. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and even managed to catch a fish or two. Highly recommend

A beautiful spot well away from the crowds in the off peak season.
It is well resourced with helpful staff. We liked the fact that it is right on the beach and had nothing to distract you.

Hi. We stayed here just after the Ester rush had all left - what lucky day!
The place was nicely active and friendly. We requested to park right up front by the dunes, which was awesome to wake up to that. We liked it so much, we stayed an extra night.
Got recommended by the office person to walk up the track behind the camp which we did. Nice walk. There is a heated pool at the camp too.
Nicely surprised to see they welcome DOGS here. And have an area by the dunes especially for camping dogs, so we will be back with our guy, who had to stay behind... : (
The place is clean and well kept, I can see why they get so many good reviews.
Keep up the good work guys : )

My expectations were surpassed.
I found the camp and the area around was a hidden gem of New Zealand. I did paddel boarding in the estuary Saturday and Sunday morning and did heaps of walking. The regional park walk was a beautiful place. Accommodation was brilliant very clean and tidy bed was comfortable. The staff were all lovely and friendly.. I will be back.

Love Ohiwa holiday park, this is our 2nd stay and will be back next year, Close to the beach making it easy to swim everyday, we decided to stay an extra 2 days with friends and had to move to a non powered
site, which was fine as we are fully S.C but didn’t like being charged the same for a tent site as a powered site!

We have stayed in many holiday camps all over NZ and this was by far the best!!
Everyone was so helpful and friendly including the grounds and cleaning team. The rooms and the camp toilets were very clean (as we stayed in the cabin and then the tourist flat) and the camp grounds were immaculate. The beach was just on the door step too!

This is such an ace campground.
Friendly staff, sparkling clean facilities, epic location next to the sea + an estuary + a forest walk. Perfect place to be based to explore this beautiful part of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Amazing dedicated staff made our weekend special, thank you!
The facilities are incredible, clean and the views to enjoy whilst eating, drinking and relaxing. Ohiwa Beach Holiday Park is definitely a recommend from us and we'll book again. The Onekawa pa site is a must to do and down to Bryan's Beach and then either walk along the beach back to the camp ground or turn around and walk and enjoy the bush, birds, and gorgeous views again from another angle back to camp.
