- ☆ Anne ☆ (10/5): Amazing holiday park! - It was more than what we have expected. Good location. Great people. Kids had amazing time in the playground & trampoline. The only thing we noticed was at one night, we heard some.banging and rumbling in the room next door. Though it was only for an hour or so. Otherwise, it was all good.
- Christine (8/5): Wir 2 Nächte völlig ok. - Die Cabin war sehr gemütlich. Die Küche groß. Der Strand ist nah.
- Josef (10/5): Alles Bestens! - Freundlicher Empfang, Unkompliziert, idealer Ausgangspunkt für die Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nahe!

- Scott (10/5): -
- Topcat66 (9/5): Absolutely fantastic!! Best Holiday so far! Best stay ever! Can hardly wait to return!!! - We have been to numerous motor camps/camp grounds before, and me being an ex cleaner, these premises were outstanding for cleanliness!! The owners were the loveliest, friendly people. More than accommodating to our needs and very helpful! Whitianga is a MUST see place. It is the most beautiful place we have ever been too!! We will be returning here again and will stay here without a doubt!!! Since these owners have only been owners of this motorcamp since September 2025, we didnt find anything we didnt like, more like things that can be critiqued which were ... my bed, you could feel the springs, so I had to go and buy a mattress topper, then slept like a baby since! In the unit we had, there was no curtains at the top window. Maybe a broom so we can sweep the floor. *Unit 3 💕 other than that, we couldn't fault the place!
- Revel (10/5): -
- Sara (7/5): Good value for money is a beautiful part of the world, all we needed for a couple of nites stay - clean beds, a few to choose from, have stayed there before and it is good for a reasonable price in whitianga. Also has a very nice pool. I would recommend getting the cabin with 2 rooms for space. .
- Jérôme (8/5): -
- Anaïs (7/5): - The neighbors were a bit loud. It was difficult to fall asleep.
- Lieke (10/5): -
- Yoke (9/5): Friendly Holiday Park - Cabin was cleaned. Staffs were super friendly. Bed & pillows were cleaned and very comfortable. Shared bathrooms and toilets were very cleaned and no need to queue. The holiday park was very cleaned, safe and quiet. Insufficient cutlery in the communal kitchen.
- gray (6/5): - Location was good. We had the retro small caravan,the mattress was like a banana,worst night sleep in NZ
- Martijn (7/5): Good accomodation and would stay again, but BYO WiFi - Spacious accommodation, nice location, good facilities. Not so sound proof, could hear the neighbours easily.
There’s virtually no WiFi. First 100 MB are complimentary, but so slow, actually useless. This is a drawback, it is 2026 afterall 😉. Own data did the job.
- Kate (8/5): - We had a two bedroom unit. Clean and comfortable Water pressure
- Merilyn (8/5): Pleasant. - Close to town. Clean nice facilities. Very thin walls separating flat .
- Wilkinson (8/5): - Location and facilities We had no power, including fridge, but had 1 operational power socket
- Chris (6/5): TUMEKE - Good price,good location town not far cant complain
- Collings (10/5): - Wonderful stay, would highly recommend to anyone staying in Whitianga. First class in all respects. There was nothing to dislike.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Cashmere (9/5): -
- Susan (8/5): Beautiful Setting - Staff & Management are lovely. The location is excellent. Beautiful part of New Zealand. More kitchenware required as it was very limited to cook anything.
- Noelia (10/5): -
- Oscar (8/5): - En general bien....hay que considerar que está en un parque de casas rodantes Estuve en una habitación enorme con dos camas de una plaza....perfectamente caben dos camas de plaza y media y mejora el confort de quienes la usan
- lydia (9/5): - Clean. Good host.
- Maureen (8/5): Clean & tidy but you need to ask for a cooking element if you want tp prepare a simple meal - We stayed in a self contained cabin Only one pillow each and a small double bed
- geoff (2/5): Would not recommend unles in RV - Location Just a room, nothing else, no drinks , no on suite, pay extra for bedding.
Bed too soft so old.
- Paul (4/5): loved the place but can't go back to that unit in future, needing sound proofing before we return - Cleanliness , well kept. Rooms tidy, convenient Continuous sounds of water being used from the neighbours, extremely noisy pipes and wake us up through out the night, lots of banging walls after 11pm
- Igor (8/5): Best value for a price - Very decent camping site. By far the best price in the area, and the conditions are more than enough for a traveller holiday stay. Super nice host. The room was very hot, so air conditioning would be helpful.
- Grobler (9/5): - We had a lovely stay, thank you. Wifi can be more user friendly, but I still rate them as exceptional.
- Deb (6/5): -
- Fi (9/5): - Single cabin was perfect for our stay. Short walk into town. Basic but perfect for what we needed.
- ijadra (8/5): Opción viable pero no tan recomendable - Amplia y cómoda casa en parque para campers, a unas cuadras del centro. Quizás se deba a que están acostumbrados a tratar con gente de campers pero el trato es estricto a nivel que molesta (ej. amenaza escrita de cobrar un extra si uno deja platos sucios o bolsa de basura sin retirar de la habitación.
- Holbrook (5/5): - The beds were hard and there was no air conditioning. A fan was provided, but really wasn’t sufficient.
- Fabrice (9/5): -
- Renée (7/5): Beautiful holiday park for a comfortable stay with plenty of facilities - Comfortable room and really friendly staff Thin walls between rooms
- david (10/5): - Friendly welcome. Simple clean tidy room. Quiet location close to town
- PIERRETTE (7/5): Séjour à Whitianga pour un prix raisonnable. - La propreté et le confort de l'appartement., notamment de la literie). La mauvaise odeur provenant de la douche (odeur d’égout).
- Melissa (10/5): Good location lovely hosts and clean facilities - Fresh and clean cabin we stayed in. Amenities were super clean and fresh. Lovely hosts. No aircon in cabins was really hot even with fan going.
- Holly (10/5): Would definitely stay here again, we’re super accommodating with check in. Comfortable and clean. - Close to town, very accommodating and affordable
- Lauren (7/5): -
- Willem Jacobus (8/5): - Location Nil
- Gerardine (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room.
- Claire (9/5): - Very nice accomodation with everything needed
Rooms were very confortable and clean
- Yi-Ting (8/5): -
- Simone (8/5): -
- Renz Faulkner (8/5): Last minute booking for a last minute trip. Facilities were lovely. Close to marina where we headed. - Self contained room was great! Close to reception, lovely and clean. Great for a single person or couple. Plenty of parking as the opposite tent site was unoccupied.
- Will (8/5): -
- Chacko (10/5): - Nice rooms and beds Unit was next to the council waste water stream
- Monika (7/5): - Despite the weather we had a lovely stay. The couch could do with a cleaning. Some old towels left behind. Otherwise everything was clean and tidy
- Gladys (7/5): Bien - Personnel accueillant.
Nous avons logé dans une chambre avec kitchenette equipé. Studio tout proche des toilettes et douches communes.
Dans l'ensemble c'était propre.
Literie plutôt confortable. Le prix est élevé pour l'hébergement proposé. Les draps et serviettes ne sont pas fournis sauf en supplément et le wifi est aussi payant.
Il pourrait y avoir une lampe de chevet par lit avec une petite table.
Le ménage n'était pas fait sous le lit double.
- Montuya (10/5): -
- Heidi (9/5): -
- Raeleen (9/5): Very happy little whanau - Very helpful friendly staff and environment definitely would stay again but maybe bigger room or 2cabins Ladder on the bunk bed in cabin 3 was wondering why the kids were finding it hard to get up
- Maelys (5/5): -
- Katie-Rose (9/5): -
- Steve (8/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Melvin (8/5): - Free swimming pool! :)
- paul lee (3/5): Not good - Nothing Having to pay for linen,towels etc and to pay for WiFi. With a family of 5 those extras make it a expensive place . You could stay in a hotel with all the extras for less money. The TV didn't work in the TV room so kids were disappointed with that.
- Kee Quan (8/5): Lovely - The unit is clean & odorless Free 100MB internet quota might be too little
- Elena Mariana (10/5): - Muy cómodo y tranquilo Que no hubiesen servilletas de papel.
- Darryl (10/5): -
- Kieran (10/5): -
- Lukas (6/5): All good but a little overprice - Nice cabins with good equipment. Nice public kitchen and laundry to use. Very friendly stuff ! Bathrooms not that clean, high price for only a very small standard
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Akosita (10/5): -
- Courtney (10/5): Awesome little camping ground, kid friendly and plenty of space. The pool was a hit. - Quiet, clean, easy to find, close to the estuary, pool, playground and tv room all clean and tidy. Not overly big camping ground so there wasn't a huge amount of people queueing to use facilities. The beds are very hard, ended up using our air bed instead. The sensor light turns off before the shower limit is used so had to get my hubby to walk in the door to set the sensor off and turn the lights on again, it was 10pm so showering earlier doesn't have that problem.
- Anaïs (7/5): -
- Marius (8/5): -
- Carlos (8/5): -
- Aleš Popek (9/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): Nice campground in a lovely location - Great price and very clean tidy camp ground Lovely setting just across from the water. 5 min walk to restaurants.
Clean and tidy camp ground.
- Pavel (9/5): -
- Rand (8/5): Pleasant no frills . We were advised re bringing our bedding but good to see clean sheet in place b - Not applicable It was adequate to our needs
- Hai (5/5): -
- Cécile (7/5): Séjour agréable mais entaché de manque de WIFI digne de ce nom - Etablissement très propre et bien entretenu avec une pelouse en très bon état Un GROS inconvénient justifiant notre note peu élevé: Le WIFI est une honte car les datas s'élevaient à 100 Méga octet ce qui est rien et ne permet par exemple de télécharger qu'une photo. Donc autant ne rien proposer que cela. Le WIFI est maintenant indispensable dans tous les établissements recevant des visiteurs
- Brian (7/5): - It was nice, but not worth that much money for 1 night. Over all very Nice, Comfortable, Cosy.
- alyson Rodrigo (10/5): - Muito limpo e organizado
- Antoine (9/5): -
- Girl (8/5): Good for a short stay with the family - Great location, lovely staff. Unit had most of what we needed, good for a short stay for a family of 5.
- Leiff (9/5): -
- Jo (4/5): Disappointing - Bathrooms were clean, room was just adequate. The facilities were very tired. Some soap dispensers in the showers would be good (heard other people complaining about this too). It was rated a superior cabin but certainly didn't live up to that,
The kitchen cupboards in our room were very old. We had a microwave but no microwave dish in either our room or the kitchen. The kitchen hotplates were quite dated and hardly heated. I acknowledge these are new owners so hopefully as time goes on they can update the facilities. Proper wifi would have been helpful, not just the bits of paper with passwords. It was quite expensive for what we got
- Rumley (9/5): - Excellent location. Owners were friendly and very helpful. Very clean. Has everything you need. Whitianga is a great town yo visit.
