Cabins need revamping

Reviewed By PatAuckland

The cabins are probably ok for young families but not very good for a romantic getaway. Mould around the bathroom sink, rotting floorboards in the bathroom, miniscule shower that leaked all over the bathroom, fridge that doesn't have a light inside, bed mattress in desparate need of being replaced (roll together in the middle, left me with terrible backache). The pools themselves were chockablock with people, too many to even attempt getting in so we had a private spa which was in need of a facelift too. This place has seen better days.

Hahei Beach Resort

Leave the city behind and stay on the beachfront in Hahei - regularly voted one of the best beaches in The Coromandel and New Zealand. There's plenty of adventure with Cathedral Cove and Te Whanganui A Hei Marine Reserve on our doorstep. With over 7 hectares of award-winning grounds there’s space for everyone to find a pathway to the beach. The Seaview Villas look directly over Hahei Beach with ever-changing views of the Mercury Bay Islands from sunrise to sunset. The Beachfront Bachs are ideal for friends and family - stay together or book neighboring baches so everyone can have their space. The nostalgic cabins are great value for family getaways, all less than a minute walk to Hahei Beach! We have Allpress barista-made coffee available onsite every day. From November to Easter weekend, the onsite outdoor bar, gourmet burgers and woodfired pizzas are open on weekends and additional hours in peak summer times - check on our social media pages for the opening hours. The hot tubs on the dunes are always a favourite, check fees and availability to book your spot when you get here. The Resort is walking distance to Cathedral Cove, so put the car keys away and avoid the parking hassle. The Hahei Village with a general store, craft brewery, and cafes is a short stroll. Hot Water Beach is 10 minutes drive. Come and relax on the beachfront with friends and family - the pristine Coromandel coast and marine reserve are the ultimate natural playground.

Fantastic- as always!

Reviewed By 897jillb

Fantastic - as always! Nice to see some positive changes since the last time we stayed, love the recipes in the kitchen & the new shower curtains. The hot tub is fantastic - what an awesome experience & you can't beat the view! It was quite different visiting in winter but loved how the big tree was lit up at night, and enjoyed the fact that it was a bit quieter than when we usually visit.

Stayed for Queen’s birthday weekend, mainly for the light festival, hot air balloon night glow, fire dancing, cars, non fire and bands. It was easy to book, the team were very accomodating of our needs and even changed us to a powered site. When our heater broke on our camper they managed to find one to lend us for free. The facilities were very clean and modern. The lounge had rustic tables and a fire burning, made it feel very cosy. The camp is very close to Hot Water beach, so easy walking if you are keen and want to try and dig for hot water - hard worker and harder than it sounds. Camp offers cute cabins, camping and powered sites amongst beautiful trees and native birds. Based on customer service slime we would be back.

Beautifully located campsite

Reviewed By RiceCake778

Perfectly located by the beach. Campsite is large and well set-up. There is controlled entry and plenty of sites. Each site is large. Multiple facility blocks. Well maintained and clean. Each site is also close to grey water dump stations and fresh water taps. Only thing to watch out for is saturated grass after heavy rain.

Cambridge Top-10 Holiday Park

Reviewed By drtutill

Stayed in self contained motorhome so this time round didn't use any of the provided facilities. Great place to stay would recommend to other travellers Thought at $34.00 for one person for one night was a little steep. A fee of $30.00 would be more in line with other parks I stayed at on my trip one being Waiteti Trout Holiday Park at $20.00 .

The location was great. It was quiet and the view from the room was second to none. We stayed in a motel unit that looked out over the ocean. The local Pukekos kept us entertained as we drank our morning coffee on the deck.
