Pretty good place to stay, great playground for kids. So good except there aren’t enough toilets and showers and the toilet and shower doors don’t lock. Not enough crockery in the kitchen.

Location out of Hokitika. Stayed in a cabin which adjoined to another. Walls are very thin you can hear all noises of snoring, coughing and talking etc. ZENBU wifi didnt work at all and the area is 3G on mobile phones. Sally was great and so was the cabin until I got neighbours who snored all night. Rate was very cheap so 3/5.

Was asked at checkin to pay again, or prove we had already paid through Wotif. We stayed 2 nights, was most expensive place we had booked, we were woke before 6 am with another cabin who had a dog with them barking . And second night was woke before 7 by same cabin singing loudly outside our door that they had a good nights sleep.

Hi Sue, I'm sorry to hear your experience staying with us was "poor". The staff member on reception is fairly new and had not encountered a virtual Expedia card before so I will re-train regarding these. The price is fairly standard for a Studio Motel unit on a public holiday weekend. As to other guests feel free next time to come to the office and mention the first disturbance so we can talk with other guests about the quiet time hours. I do hope this experience won't put you off trying our Holiday Park again as everyone's experience is different and every stay is different. All the best. Arneta

Hi, thanks for the positive review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Yes, we are aware of the Wifi "lack of reach" in some spots of the Park and are working to strengthen this. I'm sorry for this and assure you next time you stay it will be sorted :)

Hi, I'm sorry that the Wifi was not performing to the required standards. The Spark Network was having issues over two days of your stay I'm just wondering if that had anything to do with it. I'll consult our tech guy and see if that could have been the case. If you send me your name I'll look up your booking and if we have a credit card on file I'll refund your $15 as I would be frustrated by that also!

Basic but a good place to stay. Kids had a ball on the flying fox. Would be improved if some of the blocks were maybe designated family and if there were some board games in the main area. Thumbs up.

Very Lucky Indeed
When we arrived my friend was not feeling well and would have had to walk from the cabin to the toilets. So I asked about an upgrade. There was one available and it was brand new. Because I had decided to leave early the upgrade was cheaper than staying in the cabins. Plus plus plus. I really appreciated being able to bring my pets into the Park and because of that our stay was very enjoyable. Thank you Hokitika Holiday Park.

The roads in and around the park are in need of repair; we were dodging potholes full of rainwater everywhere. Kitchen facility is adequate however as the park filled with guests the kitchen was overwhelmed with folks using a single cooktop and oven. Same goes for the bathroom and shower area. Not the parks problem, but with paper thin walls between units we had extremely noisy and rambunctious young kids next door.
Response from Helene on 7 May,2018
Hello Vincent, We are sorry your stay was not as pleasant as it could have been. There is only one oven, but there are three sets of cook tops in the north kitchen. All facilities throughout the park are available to all guests. We hope you will try us again.

Great service, reasonable price, but..
Poor location - park is in the middle of nowhere. Poor lay-out - cabins are far from amenities, and too hot in summer. But very friendly and helpful service, the whole place is a marvel of well thought out creativity with plywood, and very reasonable price.

We are located 3 kilometres north of Hokitika and in a rural setting. We are also experiencing an unusually hot summer. Plans are underway to build a second amenities block for the standard cabins. Thank you for your comments, we appreciate both positive and negative comments as feedback from our guests is important to us.

Service makes this 3.5 a 4 star place
This holiday park is still new and from communication after our stay they are still improving the place and taking feedback. My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in a cabin. Positives - great park, quiet, great outside space to sit, room is spacious and clean with kettle, fridge, toaster, crockery, cutlery and utensils all provided. General amenities good. Great zip line for kids. Close to glow worm dell and a 5 min drive into town. Negatives - bed soft, only one pillow and gravel walk to shower/toilets makes shower areas a bit dirty as no separate shower units. Having said that I fed back to the park and they confirmed happy to take back feedback and still working on Park so on this basis would recommend a stay here.

Hello Darren, We are very glad to receive feedback from our guests. Positives are always appreciated, but also ways to improve. We are commited to improving our services and take all suggestions seriously. Thanks you for staying with us and for recommending us to others. Regards Helene Manager

Paper thin walls.
This is obviously a new developement as the roads aren't adequately formed yet and there was a rough piece of ground to traverse to get to my room. The room was nice but the whole stay was spoiled by the lack of soundproofing between individual units. I was able to clearly hear conversations and snoring from both sides of me. With no nearby facilities, it was a mission to go to the shops and if you wanted to go to town for a meal and a few drinks you are faced with a 3km walk home or a taxi ride.

New property (March 2017), rooms and toilets are quite clean. Highlight was definitely the zip line, fun for all ages! Both my mom (67 years young) and I had a go.
The zip line is a lot fun and we have just as many adults as children use it. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thanks for your nice comments.

Everything is brand new in this park. Maybe therefore some minor things were missing, but after asking for it, the staff was very kind and helpfull to 'fix the problem'.

Niedrogie miejsce, w sam raz do krótkiego pobytu na trasie wiodącej przez południową wyspę. Czyste pokoje z lodówką, zlewem, naczyniami, tosterem i czajnikiem. Plac zabaw dla dzieci. W pobliskim miasteczku jest supermarket (dookoła tylko pola).
