“Dark and dirty! But good location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

We stayed 2 nights in this park. It was a cabin with two bedrooms. It was very basic but everything we needed was there. However, it was not clean. And it was dark. The bedrooms had no windows at all. The small living area had a couch, a very small dining suite and a sink. It was very small. And when I sat down on the couch I started to feel itchy. It was not clean. The floors in the bedroom were also dirty.

A week later we stayed in the same kind of accommodation in Omarama and we saw how nice it could be. Comparing the two was like chalk and cheese. One very nice and clean, the other dark and rather dirty. And indeed, the heater did not work too well.

However.....the location of the Dunedin place was excellent. It was a short drive to the train station for the train trip into the Taigeri Gorge. It was a short drive to get onto the road to the Peninsula and Lanarch Castle. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach (not 2 min. as the Park says). So there are plusses as well.

Room Tip: I am really not sure about this. And no, I did not make photos of the cabin.

“Whatever you do, do NOT stay in a cabin in winter or early spring.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

We stayed in a small cabin for 3 nights - it was FREEZING. We could just as well been camping. The heater was on 1h setting, so we had two choices - freeze or get up every hour to turn it back on. The receptionist didn't care when we complained, fortunately the manager had his head screwed on and gave us an extra heater. We don't know what the flats are like, but were told by the manager that all cabins have those 1h heaters for 'safety reasons.' Dreadful, especially considering that if you pay for a powered site, you can have heating on all night in your campervan.

“Adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

Stayed here for 4 nights in a tourist flat. The kitchen part of the flat was well stocked. The room was a good size and clean. The flat was a bit dated in its decoration but if its clean it's all good. The holiday park itself is kept well and there are plenty of powered and non-powered sites maybe even too many. The park has easy access to the nearby beach also. Now word of advice don't bother with the wi-fi the signal where we were was too poor to open a paper bag and at $4 an hour without being able to log off is a rip-off.

“Glad we stayed here.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

We stayed at powered campsite at Dunedin Holiday Park for one night. It was early winter. We arrived quite late that night. The kitchen and dining area was clean and well equipped. The toilet was clean and hot shower available at no extra cost.
The place is close to the beach but we had to walk across a rugby field to get there.
Overall, it's a nice place to stay, and I loves the paintings along the wall of the park facilities and cabins. Funny puzzles and happy cartoon characters :-)
