Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took 2 teenage grandchildren away on a grandparents/grandchildren adventure holiday. As both are water babies we decided to organised waterski lessons for them. Our grandson had very little waterskiing experience some 5 years previously and our granddaughter no experience at all. Emma coached them both beautifully and patiently. Our grandson was up and away on one ski immediately and spent the rest of his lesson time perfecting his stance and cutting the wake skills. Our granddaughter progressed through the initial training onto 2 skis and with a lot of determination managed to stand on 1 ski by the end of her second lesson. Their lessons ended with an exhilarating ride on a tube behind the boat with spectacular spills. All of this was achieved surrounded in the perfect location and facilities of the Oz Ski and with the incredible coaching of Emma and Rick.
Next to Oz Ski Resort the Blast Aqua Park offers more fun on the water, so needless to say our grandchildren headed straight over there after their ski lessons finishing off their day with more climbing, jumping and sliding fun of the Blast Aqua Park. To say we had 2 very tired but very happy grandchildren at the end of the day is an understatement.
Emma and Rick, congratulations on building an incredible facility for family fun.

Took our young adult children and their partners for a great day on the water. Loved the choices here as it meant there was something for everyone. Also meant that the family got to try things they weren’t sure they would be able to do without pressure. Everyone was smiling and Emma went out of her way to make sure each of us was happy with our experience.

Rick was amazing at slalom coaching. I’m a newbie to all things skiing & my lesson was super helpful! I’ve never skiid on double skis or anything else, went straight to slalom and had only been out twice before. One lesson totally changed my confidence and ability. Went out on the water this weekend and was skiing for longer than any of my more experienced friends. Can’t recommend enough!

What's great place to visit. Emma and the team really looked after us visiting kiwis.
OzSki provided the perfect venue for us to train and get outstanding coaching. We're already trying to figure out how we can get back next year!

Family of four had an awesome time learning to ski Jan 2015.
Instructor (Tom) was a fantastic and patient instructor, especially with the kids, and the whole team were friendly and professional.
Terrific set up, very well organized, but at the same time very relaxed and chilled.

We had a great time as a family learning to water ski and wakeboard. Our daughter of 11 had no experience and by the time we were finished she could not only water ski but was able to do the basics of single skiing plus they have a lake side spa pool to warm you up. Yay!
There is nothing frightening in the water if that's is your concern.
This was the highlight of our trip. Cost wise it is very fair and is similar to taking the family to a theme park but a lot more rewarding.

My children visited Oz Ski Resort during the July holidays from New Zealand and had a fantastic time. Were looked after by Emma and the team there like they were family! The children improved their skiing, set goals and will bring back their knowledge to improve over summer. Thank you for the care and the fun they had!!

The teachers didn’t have communication skills. They spent so much time talking that the kids were confused and bored. (So was I) we barely got 5 minutes on the water. For the price it felt like it was over valued.
