"Fantastic Holiday Park in close proximity to Auckland, we return here every time. Absolutely LOVE their pools - they drain them every day, clean and tidy facilities, yet simple and all you need for a family break. Thank you Peter and the team - we LOVE your work and service is always superb!"

Sibling Vacation
"Stunning views from lounge/deck. I would describe this house as Retro kiwi bach style. It had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. Plenty of beds and 2 bathrooms (1up, 1 down) was great. Loved that we had access to beach from deck. Perfect for our holiday."
