Harbourside Holiday Park : Whitianga Accommodation — Hotel in North Island

Pros: Always-present owners, checking often to see if premises look in good shape/condition. campsite is kept at good levels of cleanliness, depending on the guests behavior, kitchen and laundry areas are clean and guests respect that. male and female toilets are somewhat clean but far from other campsites such as Top 10, where constant cleaning is performed through the day. On a positive note, these are far better than using DOC facilities or portable loos.

Cons: 10:30pm is the maximum allowed time for playing music or doing activities which allow for noise to be generated, which is a bit too late. This allows people to pass their limits of drinking and thus not minding other people's space. Being a family location, such time should be reduced to curb stressful situations from occurring. No staff to enforce guests to obey and abide to the camp rules after 10:30pm, which is a torment: loud guests, loud music, no respect towards others, etc. The worst part is when someone tries to comunnicate with loud guests, to address the situation. Unfortunately, this is seen as a challenge or insult by these guest, and it forces all other campers to bear the loud and fanfare of such complicated individuals. provided numbers for after-hours are never able to be reached, hence why there are no one to enforce silence and order after...

Hey Campers||Harbourside Holiday Park is a ripperty beauty camp and I loved every minute of my stay||I met up with lots of people who hardly complained about the amenities provided by Mike and Jane.||People I came across came from England, Europe and of course NZ!||There are a couple of stayers and one is Dave who provides the music for the Whiti Markets on Saturday and the other is John who runs a bus for schoolkids and then migrates to Hamilton Island over winter.||I cant thank Mike and Jane enough for all their help and support during my stay.||Come holiday season there is a great vibe at the Holiday Park and the kids who come from all parts of NZ are just like magnets to each other and the noise they make is one of happiness what with the pool and the safe scooter avenues onsite.| |A shout out to Eric and Jill (campers as well) for a lot of things including damn good meals to share.||The bird life is also something to mention. Every morning a tui rings out just before sunrise, there are fantails (piwakawake), ducks and of course the...

We stayed in a Deluxe 2 Bedroom Unit - they were very new and a deck was being built while we were there. The open plan living area is perfect for relaxing, cooking, playing cards with friends, watching tele or just looking out over the campground.||||Service was friendly, professional and faultless. Bathroom was so clean and lovely to use and be in. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable - a very large Super King! The dining table is lovely - round being perfect for playing cards and easy to wipe clean. The air con was quick to heat up and easy to use.||||The location is perfect - very close to town for when we used our bikes to get there. Check in and out was a breeze. Our friends had a mobile home - the owners kindly gave them a spot right opposite our unit.||||We highly recommend this place to stay - the price was very reasonable for what we had - if ever we come back to Whitianga, this is where we would definitely book...
