5.0/5
Fabulous campsite to stay.
Staff were very welcoming and facilities were great. A lot of effort has been put in to this campsite to give it a bit more personality than most. Lovely relaxed vibe & very clean. Nice communal facilities, could even borrow kayaks and jackets for no fee. Very hospitable.

The sign at the entrance says it’s closed but that’s just because the cabins are currently rented to seasonal workers.
The large pitches are still available to campervans. The facilities have a rustic Indonesian theme but are thoroughly modern underneath, with hot showers with great pressure, credit card activated laundry machines (6 front load LG washers & 6 dryers, $4 each), Sky TV in both lounges, large kitchen, good WiFi, etc. Highly recommend!

I loved this place!
Very cool setup with funky Indo decor and different areas including swimming pool, tennis court, games room, pool table, swap a book, modern laundry, free wi-fi, all sorts and an area where you can camp with your dog right next to beach and MTB/walking tracks.

Debbie and John stayed one night on their camper van travels around East Cape.
Excellent modern, clean facilities with an artistic eccentric twist. Facility is undergoing an upgrade.

What a great place.
Super friendly host and very accommodating. Fab facilities with an Indonesian flavour to the decor. Impeccably clean and tidy. Great location right by the beach

We stayed at a powered site in our van and had ocean views!
We were close to the Bali toilets which were super clean and very resort-like. The two female staff (sorry don't know names), were very helpful and super nice which really made it feel like home. Dogs allowed on the beach off-leash and in the campground on leash. We will be back!

We arrived late but was able to get a spot.
$20 pppn. Showers and bathroom are nice. Wifi is included. The dryers didn’t work for us, waste of money. They also have a kitchen which we didn’t utilize. Wish they had more electric outlets to charge our devices.

A nice park right on the beach.
It’s fairly large so I suspect it can get crazy in the summer. :)
Overall I liked this park, but the toilet and shower facilities are pretty utilitarian, concrete block and very basic. Gated access and no sign of the wrist bands while I was there. The games/relaxation room was being remodeled and the kitchen is pretty small.

Really nice beach.
Campfire at night. It was pretty cool. Only thing that made our experience bad was the amount of dog poo that was on the campsite.

Great location and facilities, staff friendly and helpful.
Only problem the BLACK wristbanders (long time regulars) rule the roost. Management need to step up.
Would struggle to fine reason to come back.

The owner asked me to purchase a visitor band for someone who wasn't wearing one because they were with me on my motorbike.
He did explain why and i agreed.
But within 5 minutes he became unreasonable and started yelling at me.
I actually had no idea of this boys arm band situation as he was staying with other members we knew at the site. But had i been given the chance to speak! I could have explained myself avoiding the highly uncalled for rage of the owner and i could have found out.
The owner was so angry, he lost it. He pointed out the signs and said i couldn't read, he wouldn't let me defend myself, he wouldn't let me speak and his behaviour was intimidating as he continuously shouted out my name at the top of his lungs.
He was very unreasonable and behaved like he had the right and authority to treat me this way because he owned the place and i just had to be quiet and take it, otherwise be kicked out. That's how this experience was!!! And because i tried to speak and defend myself he issued us with some kind of warning.
No matter the situation, That is disgusting customer service toward a paying customer island view holiday park.
You have no right to tell people to shut their mouths and listen to you while you yell at the top of your lungs!!
After all of that drama...we found out that This person DID INFACT HAVE A BAND AND HE JUST WASN'T GIVEN IT..
Had you calmed down, i could have found out for you.
Had you bothered to ask your staff who served them, you could have found this out yourself!
We felt very uncomfortable and embaressed staying there after this and we only stayed 2 of the 4 nights we had paid for and received no apology from the owner.
We won't ever be staying here again.

It is an awesome place to stay!
The people here are relax and so nice. oh have a full equipment kitchen, laundry room and hot showers! You can have a fire place at night and hang out with your friends. The holiday park is to recommend!

Right next to the beach, lovely spot.
We had a big choice of powered sites to choose from, chose one really close to the sand dunes. Lovely and quiet due to time of year. Showers were clean but lacked pressure. Big site so expect it to be busy at christmas etc. Really friendly staff at reception. Loads of things to do and all free. Unlimited free WI-FI which was a first for us in NZ. Would definitely return but not in the height of the season. Great for fishing off the beach at certain times of year apparently.
