Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park — Local services in North Island

A nice beach, great walks, heated pools and really close to restaurants and the Mt Maunganui CBD - but none of these are in the campsite itself.|Kitchens and ablutions are renovated to a modern look. There are amazing views from many sites, especially the Pilot and Ocean areas. Internet and showers were not the best, pushing the button every 30 seconds for the shower and slow upload speeds with both Wifi and cellular connections.||The Site Overall:|Price Score for Cheapest Site: 2 out of 3 |Site Length Score: 2 out of 3 |Site Width Score: 2 out of 3 |Furthest Site to Bathrooms Score: 2 out of 3 |Closest Site to Bathroom Score: 3 out of 3 |Overall Feel - Campground: Good |Sites Overall Score - 75.3 % (101 out of 134) ||Wi-Fi and Internet:|Wi-Fi Cost per Smallest Bundle or per Day: $1 |Wi-Fi Download Speed Test: 1.9 Mbps |Wi-Fi Coverage over Entire Campground: Yes |Cellular Connection Bars (Spark): 4 bars |Cellular Downlad Speed Test: 1.2 Mbps |Internet Overall Score - 61.5 % (16 out of 26) ||Ablution Blocks:|Ratio Of Handbasins/Campsites Score: 3 out of 3 |Ratio Toilets to Campsites Score: 3 out of 3 |Overall Feel - Ablutions: Good |Cleaned at least Daily: Yes |Ablutions Overall Score - 77.1 % (44 out of 57) ||Showers:|Ratio of Showers to Campsites Score: 3 out of 3 |Shower Water Temperature Score: 1 out of 3 |Water Pressure Score: 1 out of 3 |Overall Feel - Showers: Good |Shower Overall Score - 68.5 % (48 out of 70) ||Laundry:|Ratio Washing Machines to Campsites Score: 3 out of 3 |Ratio Dryer Machines to Campsites Score: 3 out of 3 |Cleaned at least Daily: Yes |Overall Feel - Laundry: Good |Laundry Overall Score - 81.4 % (22 out of 27) ||Kitchens:|Kitchen Sized Adequately: Yes |Cleaned Regularly (at least daily): Yes |Overall Feel - Kitchens: Good |Kitchen Overall Score - 85.7 % (42 out of 49) ||Extra Facilities:|TV Room: Yes |Freeview Tv: Yes |Playground: No |Covered Gathering Area for 15 or more: Yes |Common Field Available: No |Outdoor Court or Hard Surface Available: No |Friendly Staff: Yes |Accurate Online Booking System: Yes |Responds to Google Review Complaints: No |Brochures/Information for Local Attractions: Yes |Overall Feel - Facilities: Good |Extra Facilities Overall Score - 75 % (27 out of 36) |||Bonus Points:|Less than 10km to the Nearest Sausage Roll|In a Town|Standard Campsite Check in before 2pm|Pleasant Setting|Modern|Pets Not Allowed|People Watching Opportunities|Beach/Lake/River/Mountain Side|Fish Cleaning Station|Boat Ramp Nearby|Has Nearby Attractions|Off Peak Deals Available|Walking/Mountain Biking Tracks Interesting & Nearby|Swimable Beach or Waterway Nearby||Extra Bonus Points:|Discount for entry into the pools next door|Hairdryers in the women's block|Amazing views, set on one of New Zealand's iconic beaches|Nearby playground|Carwash On-site|Sustainability...

I am very disappointed in my experience at this holiday park. I have been going here every year with family and friends for over 6 years now and have always had great service. However, new company policies have seriously ruined my experience with only being allowed one car on the campsite when we have previously bought two. As a family of five who are now all adults we have often taken more then one car and often parked one in the designated spot and squeezed one onto our campsite ensuring we are still in the property lines. We have also previously been able to pay to park an extra car in a parking spot that isn’t being used, for example by an RV as they often only use the site and not the parking spot. However, now we are being told we have to park on the street and are not allowed under any circumstances to have more than one car on our property even if we aren’t taking up any extra space. In addition to this as a family of five we normally get four thobs to access the facilities and sometimes have offered to pay extra to obtain more thobs. However, we are now being told we are not able to have more than two thobs, even though we always have one family member out surfing who needs the thob to get back into the campsite leaving only one thob between four people who are all often doing different things. This also means other people are often unable to leave the camps site as other people need the thobs to access the facilities. We have tried to be polite with staff and negotiate, but these circumstances are unreasonable. We have been appalled by the attitude of some staff as they have been very rude and not willing to help. This holiday park is no longer a viable option for large families and isn’t friendly to large groups of people. I am very disappointed in the holiday park and my experience and will likely no longer continue to come. I would not recommend this place to any family as they really only accommodate their policies for couples or...
