We stayed here as part of a homeschool group going out to Poor Knights Island, why would you choose anywhere else to stay. Location was super convenient we could simply walk across the road to the marina. Facilities were well maintained,clean shower/toilet block,free bbq was a bonus especially if cooking for a group.I would bring along a few extra utensils... More

I got here hitchhicking as there is no public transport to Tutukaka. When I got to the holiday park there was a note inviting to wait two hours as the owner was on the beach. Fortunately there was a phone number so I got in touch with them and helped myself to get a room. Then I went to have... More

The camp grounds are big, plenty of space allowed for tents and campervans. Only one trampoline (in bad need of the surrounding net being replaced as the holes were letting the kids fall out), but the lack of play stuff did not put any of em off. Perhaps it was the right mix of people on those particular days? Close... More

What a pleasant surprise! The staff were so welcoming and happy to recommend good walks and things to do in the area. We stayed in a 12 bed dorm. It had ample room, the beds were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were also clean. Nice big communal kitchen area, and great outdoor BBQ area. All in all I highly recommend... More

The camp ground is well maintained, has reasonable amenities and is in a great location. There is so much to do in this area including fantastic walks around the coast, visits to Matapouri beach, fish and chips in Ngunguru and diving at Poor Knights. If you're after a simple camp ground or a basic but tidy cabin then this place... More
