I had a lovely one-night stay at this park, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere. The facilities were impressive, including a hot tub and a cozy TV room. My private cabin was simple but comfortable, equipped with all the essentials I needed. On the downside, the room was a bit basic for the price, which felt slightly high for what was offered. Overall, it was a great place for a short autumn getaway.

We had a fantastic experience at the park! It was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly helpful. The location was perfect for exploring the Waitomo Caves, just a short walk away from the attractions. However, I did encounter some other guests in the communal kitchen who were not very friendly, which was a bit unusual. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

I had a fantastic stay at this place, especially since it's so close to the Waitomo Caves and all amenities. The environment was clean and family-friendly, plus the staff were incredibly helpful. I enjoyed the small but nice pool and a nearby restaurant with excellent food. However, don't expect a huge pool area, and the restaurant is not part of the hotel. Overall, it's a gem that I highly recommend!

I had a fantastic stay at this holiday park! The location was perfect, just a short distance from the caves and next to a wonderful restaurant. The facilities were clean and modern, making it an ideal spot for families. I did experience a small hiccup with a sticky shower door, but overall, I would definitely return and recommend it to others.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The facilities were great and kept clean, plus the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Waitomo Caves. However, I faced some issues with my room, particularly with the broken tap and lack of running cold water, which really impacted my stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the price didn't match the room quality I received.
