“can't beat the location or price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

This was the first place we stayed once we picked up our Wicked Camper van and headed out of Christchurch. Being my first experience at an Australian campground site, I thought it was excellent. It was very clean, quiet, and the staff and our neighbors were very friendly. We got a non-powered site for like $40 NZ dollars, pretty good for clean showers, big kitchen cooking facilities, and a short walk to the downtown strip area for dinner. You're pretty close to the ocean so we could smell it when outside doing our camping stuff.

“Amazing :-)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

WoW
We stayed here at very short notice, 15 minutes warning
and yet the staff were willing to put us in a deluxe cabin,
amazing and very friendly staff
(i would like to put a special thank you to Calta, very friendly and helpful)
and also the rest of the team for making us feel so welcome
clean, tidy, comfortable, and a SPA (what more could one ask for)
we will be back for sure,
AND EVERYONE ELSE SOULD STAY THERE TO :-)
p.s. the only thing i would improve would be a little sink in the unit

Room Tip: Any Room! there are train tracks at the back of the park, so if you dont like noise then ask for 1 a...

“We enjoyed our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We traveled in early January 2012 with two adults and two children. We booked a cabin with a double and a set of bunks. , the cabin had really nice outside sitting area, was spacey inside with a tv, which we didn't use. The beds were a little on the hard side.

As other people have already mentioned the trains at night were really noisy, the first night we thought the hut is falling apart, by the second night we already knew what is happening. Also there was a helicopter landing spot right next to our cabin on the other side of the train tracks. During the day there was a lot of coming and going.
You might want to consider taking Oropax for your stay.

All in all we really enjoyed our stay, they offered movies every night for the kids, the kitchen and bathroom facilities were clean and nearby, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole of the holiday park was in great shape, nice landscaping, clean and we felt very safe!
I recommend the Holiday Park as long as you are aware of the train tracks (but there is only one or maybe two trains per night, it is not too bad)

“Location very good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We went to many of the Top Ten and this was a little smaller than others with not the top quality kitchens but it suited our needs for the location as we were there only one night passing through. Adequate.

“Spacious accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

We stayed in a very clean large double ensuite with shower, good room facilities but was spoiled by the noise from the road and railway.

Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Expensive wifi available from reception.

Hi di73,
Thanks for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in our spacious and clean accommodation.
We have minimised the road and rail noise through extensive boundary hedging, unfortunately a few of our guests still notice it, most agree though, a little noise is worth the compromise of our excellent location.
