The hand basin is in a ridiculous position which contributes to slops on the floor as it is hard to get at. We felt that although the cabin was adequate it was overpriced. An awning over the deck could help with the relentless sun.

Fabulous Holiday Park

Great Holiday Park. Top 10 Parks are the best holiday parks and this one does not disappoint. Great facilities. The kids loved the great pool, which was heated and very clean. Lots for the children to do. Really good family destination. Many different ways to stay in this Park. Water pressure in our unit was good, but shower head not quite so good, maybe time for a change of shower head. Bed was a bit hard and only a double, too small, a queen would be much better. Staff very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay, and will be back. In fact we tried to book for Easter, but they are full, which is a shame, but shows you how popular they are.

The park is in a lovely quiet residential area and self contained by the Wanganui River. Unfortunately, although there is a fabulous hames room, someone had removed the white ball and a few coloured balls from the pool table, which is $2 per game. Also the toilet in our deluxe cabin was so narrow it was easier to step out into the bathroom to pull your bottoms back up!
