Just had a wonderful stay at Beachaven. Everything was spotlessly clean. Great facilities and surroundings. Murray and Yvette were so helpful and friendly - took time to recommend local attractions. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach. We have been recommending this place to friends and family and will definitely be back. Thank you :) More

Top Quality Accomodation. Recently renovated modern standard cabins were clean, comfortable and provided everything required. The managers, Yvette and Murray were friendly, helpful, accomodating and really lovely. Highly recomended and we will return in the future. This is a great location to complete the Waihi Coastal Walk starting from Humunga Bay to Waihi Beach. More

We have been going to Beachaven for the past 5 years in which time there has been considerable change. Some great, some not so great. However this will most likely be our last. It has now simply “Gone to the dogs” This last Christmas has seen a change in policy where dogs are now allowed into the camping ground, even... More

Great location - awesome beach but having been to the camp before felt the great improvements of recent times are slipping - overflowing rubbish bins not emptied often enough so rubbish piled ontop of the bins and beside them on the walkway, toilets cleaned at odd times - closing the toilets being cleaned leaving little kids using unisex toilets -...

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is disappointing to hear you felt the great improvements of recent times are slipping, we had no verbal complaints during this period reported to reception. We did have many positive comments over this very busy peak period, so we are a little surprised. We do clean the... More

Thanks Murray and Yvette for a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Beachaven. We were lucky enough to enjoy an almost unbroken run of fine weather during our 10 day stay and thus perhaps avoided some of the difficulties others experienced during their stay. You are clearly working very hard at improving what was perhaps previously a rather tired facility, but most... More

OK, I have to say that this would be a nice enough holiday park if the owners would not have insisted on paving the paths and driveways with CRUSHED GLASS and GLASS DUST. I could not believe it, I thought this must be a joke with a hidden camera or something. They really fill the many potholes in the paths... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and after reading your response we did stop use of our glass crusher until we did our own investigation work. We are happy to report we have made a few slight alterations and we using our glass crusher once again. We do use a specially designed Expleco Glass Crusher which... More

A really nice, new, up market camping ground, everything has been done really well here and it is super close to the beach! We stayed in the motel unit for two nights and it was great, nice modern, clean unit. One thing I was really disappointed with, we booked for 6 people in a motel and also a camp-site for... More

We stayed a week here in one of the 2 bedroom cabins. The cabins were great - very spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly - BBQ, kitchen etc was always clean. The only problem was the kitchen and lounge in the shared area flooded badly when it rained which wouldnt make a pleasant stay for campers in tents... More

Showers awesome, not need to be up at crack of dawn for a warm shower! Only downfall is it rained majority of the time... More
