I had a delightful stay at the holiday park, with a cozy cabin that had everything I needed. The location was peaceful and the staff were welcoming and helpful. However, I experienced some minor issues with the Wi-Fi coverage which made it a bit challenging to stay connected. Overall, it was a fantastic value for my trip, especially considering the amenities available.

I had a lovely stay during the Boxing Day street races, enjoying the spacious and well-equipped cabin that felt like a little home away from home. The place was well-organized with all the essentials. While the Wi-Fi could be improved for better coverage, it didn't overshadow the great value for money I received and the overall experience was enjoyable.

The cabin was likened to a tardis, surprisingly spacious and well-equipped with a double bed, sink, hotplate, and fridge. However, it could have used more hooks for hanging clothes.

Our stay at the motel units was quite pleasant overall. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, perfect for our group. We loved using the communal dining room for our meals. However, I did wish there were more amenities for kids, as well as a second BBQ area. While we had a solid experience, a small upgrade in facilities would enhance the stay even further.

The two-bedroom unit we stayed in was clean and had decent cooking facilities including a full gas stove, making it feel more like a home than a motel. However, considering it was $15 more expensive than the cabin, I expected perhaps a few extra touches, especially since there were no other guests around.

The owners were really friendly and helped us feel welcome. They provided guidance throughout our stay, which made a difference. I appreciated how helpful they were, especially considering our late arrival.

The area is great for families, given its proximity to a playground and quiet beach access. However, it can get a bit noisy with traffic at times, which detracts from the overall experience. I do think it’s a convenient spot for families looking to enjoy some time outdoors.

The dining room was well set up for our group, which allowed us to prepare meals together easily. The common areas could benefit from some additional kid-friendly facilities. A jumping pillow or second BBQ area could really enhance the experience for families.

My stay at the Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park was a pleasant surprise. The cabin was spacious and clean, and the location was perfect for a relaxing evening stroll to the beach. The common areas were tidy, and the kitchen was well-equipped. However, I wish there were more amenities available on-site. Overall, it’s a great value for a cozy getaway near the beach.

I had a pleasant stay at this park hotel, enjoying the spacious and well-maintained grounds. The Ocean Hut was comfortable and had a nice covered verandah, although it felt a bit small at times. It’s a peaceful spot just a short walk from the beach and a lovely park. However, I did encounter some noise from fellow guests and noticed a lack of consideration regarding pet waste. Overall, it’s a good place for a budget-friendly stay close to the beach.
