Staff were very friendly and helpful. The price was great. My unit was a bit dated but everything worked. If you book "Flat 1" be aware there will be people running around upstairs. Didn't bother us much because we had two noisy toddlers anyway but if you want quiet, book a different room. I would definitely rebook at this holiday park in future despite the minor downfalls. The river view is beautiful and Paihia only 5 or 10 min away by car.

The unit we had was spacious. Nice linen. Basic needs met. I didn’t like no one available after 6 pm when a fuse blew because we had one too many appliance on!! Communication was really good though when available.

Nice campground. For the first night we were placed in a rather damp and rundown "toursit flat" which was not what was booked as what had booked was already full. The helpful staff then moved us to the much nicer cabin we had booked. Good location to access both Kerikeri and Bay of Islands!
