Wharariki Holiday Park

Apr 16th, 2023

Really enjoyed my 2 night stay at the Holiday park. Campground facilities were basic but functional. Long drop toilets were clean and didn't smell. Phone service is minimal at best and WiFi due to location is limited, other reviewers didn't seem to appreciate this would likely be the case. Perfect location for the beach / sunset and other walks in the area, plus there's a daily cafe open next to the car park.

(Translated by Google) Bad value for money. If backpacker beds are offered, I expect a pan and plate in the kitchen. Had to get help from other guests. In addition, the smell in the backpacker room was very stale from the old building, so airing it out didn't help. (Original) Schlechtes preis-leistungsverhltnis. Wenn Backpacker Betten angeboten werden, erwarte ich in der Kche Pfanne und Teller. Musste mir von anderen Gsten helfen lassen. Ausserdem war der Geruch im Backpackerraum sehr abgestanden von dem alten Bau, da half auch lften nichts.

Closest place you can stay to the elephantine rocks. Completely off the grid, which comes with its own challenges. We had a cabin, which was great, window fitted with mosquito net. Kitchen is spacious but almost completely without utensils. Any utensils there seemed to belong to other guests. Toilets are waterless. This worked surprisingly well and was surprisingly clean, but remains suboptimal. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a cafe nearby for coffee and cake, but otherwise you need to bring your own food and water (and take all garbage back with you).
