Opunake Kiwi Holiday Park has a unique beachfront location in a sheltered sandy bay surrounded by crimson Pohutukawa trees – it’s a popular summer camping spot for families, couples and groups!

Enjoy the great kiwi outdoors in a beach environment where children can play safely at the adjacent playground, complete with a toddler’s paddling pool!
An array of activities for the whole family
Opunake is known as “the home of the big wave” and features an artificial surf reef. The famous Surf Highway 45 runs straight through this quirky coastal town where there are great surfing and fishing opportunities all year round! Opunake is a fantastic base to participate in one of the many colourful local events such as the Beach Carnival, Garden Festival, Yarn Bomb and AmeriCarna and why not give Claybird Shooting a go – good fun for all the family!
The Great Opunake Walkway is on our doorstep covering coastal and lake walking. Various shops, cafes, a local movie theatre and swimming pool are all within walking distance from the holiday park and Opunake's 18-hole golf course is just minutes away. Murals throughout the town celebrate local history and heritage walks will take you past some of the area’s most significant sites and scenery.

We did enjoy our stay at Opunake Beach Camp.
Would have liked more water outlets and didn't like to use the hose named Fire Hose, Loved the rules of no loud noise after 10pm and no dogs running around. The Camp ground and abolition block were kept up to a high level cleanliness. We are certainly coming again .

We were very last minute over new year, so had 1 night in our tent and then moved to a cabin.
travelled with 13 and 16 year kids, and we surfed, body surfed, great beach!! We are big black sand fans.
Facilities were impeccably clean, and had everything we needed. Met lots fun people and cleaners, and Shelly were all super friendly. Could not have been more accommodating, helpful with tips, phone numbers etc !!!!
