Noisy site next to road. Also noise from other campers after 10 pm. Fridges in communal kitchen had food in them dated Dec 2023 (now Feb 2024!). Spoke to reception about this - reply was they were too busy to look at them. A health hazard indeed. Overall it's a satisfactory site to use as a base for whale, dolphin tours .

Very poor customer service Charged extra to credit card that disclosed. I bought it up with reception and she just laughed it off saying it’s standard practise which is not true at all. Wasn’t interested in sorting or forthcoming with any information. Also couldn’t understand the receipt herself and had to get someone else to explain it to her.

The staff/owners make you very welcome on arrival and the cleanliness and presentation of the camp is perfect. We will definitely be staying there again. Central location so can walk or cycle to your favourite cafe/bar.

Great kitchen / shower / toilet facilities. They were well maintained and clean and tidy. Some people up talking late disturbed our sleep, maybe we should have taken earplugs along with us. We will do next time. Overall we’d say it’s well managed and a great place to stay.

Stayed one night in clean, tidy unit with beds for 3. Had everything we needed. The holiday park is handy to shops and has some nice amenities especially for kids. There is a pool but we arrived too late to use it. I thought it was good value.

I was happy with my stay at the park and found it very clean and tidy staff were friendly. It was close to the whalewatching event and the shops. The cabin was clean and tidy and just the right size for two people.

We were on our way back north after 3 weeks on the South Island and loved it here so decided to change our plans and stay another day. Friendly staff. Lovely clean facilities and plenty to do in the area for all budgets. We will definitely be back.

This is a well appointed park. The only downside was an officious, rude and confrontational (male) receptionist, who seemed to be on some sort of a power trip. He needs instruction in customer service.
