I did not have big expectatin about this location, but it was ok for what it is : a campsite. We were comfortale and had most of what we needed. the only problem is that after sometime the cold water became a bit brownish, so basically we had to survive using the hot water only.

The unit we stayed needed to do big maintenance starting from Bathroom and finishing windows (shower was leaking, it was hard to close windows) and couple of fans in the unit would be great as it was very hot and kids could not sleep at all. so was not quite enjoyable stay.

Basic but all you need!

We're A couple and two friends who really enjoyed our one night's stay. Everything was as expected. The beds were comfortable. We bought our own sheets as requested and actually bright own pillows too. The ones provided were quite thin so one could double up if needed. We ended up with two double beds and plenty of space for our overnight stay. The showers (token operated for five minutes hot water) were very spacious. Please note there is no soap in the toilet though this is to be expected. It rained heavily and was very windy overnight but we were extremely cozy and didn't get any disturbance. We enjoyed our stay and it was only 30 min drive to Hahei (hot water beach or trail to cathedral cove). Steve the caretaker was very helpful and great recommendation of Frankies Pub! It was good value for money (especially during high peak season) and highly recommended for people who have realistic expectations.

Supplied Beds but not Sheets!

I have never before stayed in accommodation where you are not supplied with towels OR SHEETS! Pillows check, Bedspread check, cutlery check. But seriously no where is it advised you have to supply these yourself! Absolute joke.

overpriced

pretty basic camping ground, ordered a cabin which was fine, however i felt the amenities, toilet and shower were pretty run down and could have been better for the price.. This was a $45-$50 room not $85...

Basic old fashioned (1960's) style campground. Clean enough and quiet. Cabins, tent sites and powered van and motorhome sites. Read the fine print on facilities and what is supplied.

Very disappointing end to our holiday

Upon check-in we discovered that linen for beds would be an additional cost. I explained to the staff that when you book a cabin with beds you would expect linen to be supplied, unless stated otherwise, and that their establishment did not state this on the booking website. It makes their price look cheaper compared to other establishments when it’s not really. The staff didn’t seem to care about this and weren’t willing to be accommodating to their error. The photos on the booking site also show the beds nicely made up – but they’re not, which is extremely misleading! There appeared to be only one shower and toilet for the entire establishment. The shower had extremely limited hot water (they were only short timed showers to begin with), and with multiple park users using the one shower, it ran out of hot water very quickly! Facilities were old. Set top box wasn't plugged in correctly. Cobwebs on ceiling haven't been dusted in a long time. Out of 17 accommodation places we stayed at during our 22 day holiday, this was the most disappointing!

Rubbish Camp Ground in Whitianga

Arrived to be greeted by woman who had clearly been drinking. Room had leaks that required us to dry floor and put pots under to catch rain. Beds all unmade, no sheets towels or any milk tea coffee etc in room, Bathroom/shower a disgrace. As we were going out for tea we left without confronting the owners. Slept in our sleeping bags for our 1 night stay ... would not have stayed a 2nd night ... worst accomodation we have ever seen, anywhere.
