Harbourside Holiday Park

Wonderful experience

Hey Campers Harbourside Holiday Park is a ripperty beauty camp and I loved every minute of my stay I met up with lots of people who hardly complained about the amenities provided by Mike and Jane. People I came across came from England, Europe and of course NZ! There are a couple of stayers and one is Dave who provides the music for the Whiti Markets on Saturday and the other is John who runs a bus for schoolkids and then migrates to Hamilton Island over winter. I cant thank Mike and Jane enough for all their help and support during my stay. Come holiday season there is a great vibe at the Holiday Park and the kids who come from all parts of NZ are just like magnets to each other and the noise they make is one of happiness what with the pool and the safe scooter avenues onsite. A shout out to Eric and Jill (campers as well) for a lot of things including damn good meals to share. The bird life is also something to mention. Every morning a tui rings out just before sunrise, there are fantails (piwakawake), ducks and of course the ubiqitous seagulls.

Very clean and tidy, great layout with plenty of room on sites for caravans, RV's and tents. Facilities and amenities very clean and tidy. Easy access to each site and to water and power for each site. Very hospitable hosts, very handy to town, the estuary, marina, beach and the wharf. Highly recommended.

The cabin was minimal as it had only beds and a fridge. The advertised bathroom was in fact a shared campground facility. Be careful when booking and read the details carefully or you may not get what you think you are booking. Looks like a good place for campervans though.

We stayed in a Deluxe 2 Bedroom Unit - they were very new and a deck was being built while we were there. The open plan living area is perfect for relaxing, cooking, playing cards with friends, watching tele or just looking out over the campground. Service was friendly, professional and faultless. Bathroom was so clean and lovely to use and be in. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable - a very large Super King! The dining table is lovely - round being perfect for playing cards and easy to wipe clean. The air con was quick to heat up and easy to use. The location is perfect - very close to town for when we used our bikes to get there. Check in and out was a breeze. Our friends had a mobile home - the owners kindly gave them a spot right opposite our unit. We highly recommend this place to stay - the price was very reasonable for what we had - if ever we come back to Whitianga, this is where we would definitely book again - thanks!

Fantastic location easy walk to town. Very friendly team. Dog friendly :) Loved our stay. Only downside is pool only open from 10am so our son was sad he couldn't have a swim before departing. However pool was lovely and clean and good depth. We will be back again!
