Ian, the host of this haven on the quiet west coast of the Coromandel, was most helpful and friendly on the several occasions we either asked advice or service. The site is situated on the coastline with a very child friendly beach which is also of interest to the ornithological or simply the nature lover. Easy striking distance of the... More

We almost didn't stay here after reading a review on a different site but we decided to book and see for ourselves. We were tenting and only staying for one night. From the point of booking over the phone till we left we found management and staff friendly and helpful facilities clean and grounds tidy. We extended our stay by... More

If you want a great Snapper/Kingfish fishing experience there is plenty of variety available around Coromandel township. There is a great experience to be had whether fishing the Mussel Farms, fishing from the processing boats, Kayak fishing or half-day fishing on an 18 foot tinny or a larger launch. The manager Ian has plenty of very good fishing contacts and... More

Second year tenting - kids love the jumping pillow - beach - only seeing them when they were hungry - nice and relaxing time for all - close to waterworks, town and boat ramp. Friendly staff - games for the kids - awesome time for all

Third year we have used Shelley Beach. Use a tent site. Find it quite and relaxing but still close to Coromandel. It is great for the kids, safe with plenty to do. The camp organises games for kids to do which they enjoy. Friendly service with a smile or joke. Nothings a problem. Highly recommend. Amenities are clean and tidy.

My family and I stayed over the Christmas period, went fishing and caught heaps of snappers which were quite big as well!! Recommended if you want a quiet holiday, away from the bustling city madness. The little inlet of Shelly Beach is beautiful, especially at sunset where most guests come to watch.

Absolutely appalling service - I would never recommend staying here especially after the way we were treated. Stay in town at the other holiday park where service is great

We stayed for a night on a tour of New Zealand, and found it to be a good holiday park. We had a powered site, one row back from the entrance to the beach. It was not busy at all; we were the first people in for the night. The amenities were very good, with well kept shower and kitchen... More

This reasonably priced camp site is very close to the beach, you just walk through the fence gate at the bottom of the site and you are on the beach – lots of shells, hence the name. Pitch sizes are very generous and there is ample room for a campervan plus sitting out space or tent space. The amenity block... More
