“First time camping (1A, 2C) and what a lovely spot to choose to do so. … The kids playground was a hit. A great family atmosphere. The water stations located along the park were handy and the water was tasty to drink. Easy access to the beach.”
“We love this place & will come again and again! About a 5 min walk down to the beach. … The park for the kids is awesome, lots to do for them. Then 5 mins down the road at the beach is another amazing park. The beach there is incredible, the cliffs. You just have to go. The owners are lovely.”
“Super friendly team on the front desk and takeaway shop - best service! Nice big campsites … Didn't feel too overcrowded even while we were there at almost full capacity in the Christmas holidays. Facilities were good and never too busy. Easy access to the beach which was a lovely walk at sunset.”
“One of our favourite spots on our three week North Island campervan tour. Very friendly hosts have done a great job with the grounds and facilities. Peaceful and private sites … plenty for the kids to do, and a summer lifeguard patrolled beach makes this a great place for families. We will be back here next year”
