We stayed here this weekend for one night. Although I realize this is a holiday park and I wasnt expecting much I was still disappointed. The room was really cold and it stunk. The sheets and bedding all smelled musty and mildewy (if that's a word) and we're really not a fussy family. There wasn't a lot of space at... More

We spent 4 nights here with our 3 children and were very disapointed, it was the worst holiday park we have visited in NZ and now reading the other reviews I wish I had read them first! The owner was unfriendly and unhelpful in fact pretty unpleasant. There were no facilities for children at all. There is a neighbouring park... More

I stayed here in my campervan with my 2 dogs and would have to advise others not to do the same. When I accidentally dropped the lead of one of my dogs for a few seconds, the manager accused me of flouting the rules of the camp and asked me to leave. When I refused (it was already dark and... More

i have to agree with the others The man who runs this camp is a hot head and it does not take much to set him off , i dare you go and ask him a question even. Some people have been running camps to long and should not be the ones who first represent their area . We used... More

I pointed out to the operator that the bed in my room was rubbing up againest the electric blanket cables and they had frayed exposing the wires. This is dangerous so i didnt use the electric blankets that night. When he saw them he ripped the plug heads off so the balankets would never be used again. Good work correct... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights in December. We camped in a tent the first couple nights and then rented a basic cabin. The kitchen was not big enough for the size of the holiday park, it was poorly equipped and it didn't even have a toaster in it until the last day we were there.... More

We stayed with 2 teenagers and a little one. This was a disappointing place. The location was good. Harcourt Park next door is great - a nice paddling pool area and an excellent play area (NZ far better at these than UK). There was a new shower curtain, microwave and kettle. The cabin was too small for 5. There were... More

I understand some of the issues people are complaining about and Harcourts should take heed to these but we always stay at Harcourts when travelling from one island to the other and have always found the rooms ok. The beds were good, clean bedding, towels available, all neat and tidy and there was a heater we didn't really need. It... More

We had booked in for two nights into a Kitchen Cabin through their website. We arrived late on the Saturday night and had to rush straight out so didn't have time to really inspect the room, although we noticed that the room was nothing like the photo on the website. We got back later and discovered there was no heater... More
