Beachaven holiday park is hubby and my new home from home!
Can't recommend enough.
Situated minutes walk from the beach which is stunning summer or winter! Summer its swims and breath taking views without being crammed, winter and it's a georgous walks and spectacular views.
The holiday park has some of the friendliest helpful service we've experienced on our travels and adds to the relaxed welcoming atmosphere. The facilities are immaculate ( i mean seriously immaculate!)and user friendly, with rules around visitors and noise which means a mix of family friendly and peaceful. It's a great mix of families, camper Van's etc.
Booking is super easy and our last trip we rang to let them know we'd be late and on arrival ( it was dark and cold winters evening ) we arrived to our studio, subtle lights on and toasty warm for us. Really appreciated that touch of care.
Within walking distance of the village/town hub which has a variety of cafes, boutique stores( Daisy Chain is my favorite). You can stop off at the beach restaurant/bar which is more big city prices/fare or our wee slice of Kiwiana La Vie En Rose for well priced drinks and simple tasty fare at $10 a plate/platter. Not flash but really cruisey and relaxed atmosphere which makes the trip feel more Kiwiana.
We ended up staying 3 nights, we had initially booked 2 nights then added another. To our utter joy one of the staff popped in to tell us our extra night was free.
We will definitely be back!
