Opononi Beach Holiday Park
1.0/5
Far overpriced for what it has too offer plus unfriendly owners.
When I arrived the owners had gone out so it was not before the next morning that I could see the pricing (hanging inside of the closed office). If I had known before I clearly would not have stayed. Facilities are ok but a bit run down, there is no WiFi and the kitchen was very poorly equipped.
When I told the owner he responded pretty rude that he would be allowed to go out for an evening and that it would not be his problem what makes up a well equipped holiday park.

The camp grounds facilities are basically okay, although not for a price of $40 for two persons on an unpowered camp site.
WiFi costs extra, hot showers cost extra. The kitchen doesn't offer much more than what you really need and you cannot use it after 10pm anyway.
All this would still be okay if at least the staff would be friendly. While we sorted our equipment in (we had to bring all our dishes, cutlery, etc. from our car since nothing was provided - also our camp site was a few hundred metres away from the kitchen), a staff member asked us to leave immediately or we would have to pay for another night. He didn't listen, when we told him that we were just packing up and would leave in 5 minutes anyway.
In conclusion this is the worst camp ground in value and at the same time the most expensive one we have been on so far.
