We had the large two bedroom unit at this holiday park and the kids, in particular, loved it as there was no pull out bed (ie no bed settee). The unit was huge, with a very large master bedroom with queen bed, a decent sized second bedroom (with one double and one single bed) and two beds and two couches... More

Close to beach, clean facilities and reasonably priced at $12.50pp for a powered camp site. Unfortunately I can't be as positive about the service we received. Upon arrival to the campsite if you're coming from the direction of The town the sign to the Motor Camp leads you to reception for the Motor Park and Motel. Unfortunately we did not... More

Firstly, thank you for comments about our park being clean and reasonably priced. We do have a sign on the main Motel sign that the motor park is the next right. If people miss this, the “no campervan sign past this point” has stopped the vans from proceeding; they have turned around and gone to the correct entrance. I asked... More

This site was just off the main very busy road approaching Greymouth . Staff in reception very pleasant and welcoming. There was even a small library where I managed to exchange my book and found another excellent one. All facilities good if a little tired. Two minutes walk to beach, unlike any thing we have ever seen, deserted, wild. Visited... More

Great place to stay! Super friendly owners who give "the personal touch". Steve and Linda know a huge amount about the West Coast and can advise you on all the fun things to see and do, from combing the beach just behind the holiday park for greenstone to all the best places to eat and best attractions to see.

The Park is a Part of Kiwi Holiday Park. There is no price information in the office. We had to pay for an infant (under 1 year). It was the first time we paid for our baby, and we are travelling around new zealand since 5 weeks. The staff was very unfriendly regarding our infant.

Thank you for your feedback. When you check into a park in New Zealand it is a legal requirement for the park owners to know exactly how many people are staying in the park (adults, children and infants), in case there is an emergency. On forgetting to mention your son, and checking in two adults, I was very surprised to... More

The last review about the free internet made me laugh... can't please some people can you. It's not the owner's fault if travellers decide to rely on information that is two years out of date. Anyway, our seconds stop in the South Island. We were greeted by a lovely lady, who I think was the owner. She was chatting away... More

We came to this place on the recommendation of the Sept 2010 Lonely Planet. It said they had free internet. We got there and we were told that the internet had a charge something like 2 or 5 dollars and hour and that instead of $30 it was now $35 for a powered site. When we mentioned that the book... More

You are a man of your word. You promised a bad review when you left and have delivered one. You came to stay with us (2012) and upon checking in found that some of the information in your September 2010 Lonely Planet Guide was incorrect. We did have quite a lengthy conversation about the fact that we do not have... More

I'm one for first impressions and what a wonderful welcome. Owner had a great sense of humour and if I was so exhausted I would have stayed and chatted for longer.

I have stayed at quite a few holiday parks during my six months of traveling in New Zealand. This was definitely the best, mainly because the owners were SO friendly and accommodating. It was also nice to have a spa on site and a beach right behind the campsite. I definitely recommend this park!
