Great site, clean and well maintained kitchens and dining area, along with good laundry facilities.
Beach shovels are $5 to rent along with a $20 deposit, but worth it to dig your hot water pool on the beach. Staff are excellent here, ask for Joy, who has all the tide timings. Beach is a short walk away as well, great location.

Wow so cute so many amenities and so clean, served such a wide range of budgets from car campers to powered sites to self-contained apartments with pride and diligence.
The staff are super helpful. We are beginners and stayed in midwinter, so we really appreciated the lovely communal facilities and kitchen, hot showers etc. Very easy walk to the hot water beach spot and they rent shovels. They had a deal pay for 2 stay 3. It was awesome we loved this place.

We stayed in the Cabbage Patch campground and loved it!
The ladies at the front desk were very accommodating with our requests to be somewhere quiet. There are plenty of pockets to tuck your tents away for a more private camping experience. All amenities are within 2-3 minute walking distance. Free hot showers with no timers and bathrooms are clean.
Upon checkin, we were told when the best time is to explore hot water beach. You’re also given a detailed map and description to get to the beach. Free shovels are provided. The tide was out between 12-3am for us I’d highly recommend the night experience!

Very clean and has all the amenities - our first top 10 holiday park.
You can even rent a spade to dig at the beach and they give you the low tide times at check in. This place has pretty much everything. We stayed in the off season and I imagine during summer it would be jam packed. Only issue is that the kitchen was not well tidied but that is the fault of other guests.

Big campsite spaces, good and clean facilities.
Even a tv screen in the shared living room. You can rent a spade to go for a trip to hot beach (10 min walk), dig a hole and relax in the hot water that comes up to the surface. Really recommended!! Make sure you go on the right time when it's low tide.

Der Platz ist riesig und gut ausgestattet.
Der Strand mit den heißen Quellen ist ganz in der Nähe. Schaufeln zum Buddeln kann man für 5NZD ausleihen, obwohl man sie nicht wirklich braucht. Bei Ebbe stehen jede Menge Leute an einer Stelle, sodass man die Quellen schnell findet. Wir hatten leider besch… Wetter.

For me personally it was too loud and too crowded. But that is surely a matter of opinion. It was usually clean and tidy. In my opinion too few sanitary facilities, which have seen better times.

Flat, spacious motorhome sites. Spacious, clean facilities. Great play areas and activities for kids. Onsite fish&chips shop. Walking distance to Hot Water Beach along beautiful, well maintained boardwalk and track. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly - really appreciated their advice and suggestions. Easy short and scenic drive to Hahei Beach, possibly the most beautiful beach in NZ. We stayed two nights instead of one because we liked this park so much. Recommended.

Hi Zoe,
Thanks for your review and unfortunate that you felt we were overpriced. We do have a beautiful, well tended family holiday park. We have free, hot showers, a well stocked kitchen, nightly security, onsite takeaways and grocery store and our staff pride themselves in caring and keeping our facilities clean and in great shape. This of course comes at a cost and we do change our prices - depending on whether it is peak season or low season. We also run specials on a regular basis so best to follow us on our Facebook page to hear about them.
