Tasman Holiday Parks – Waihi Beach

10/10 Excellent
"2 bedroom unit was perfect for our family of 4. Beds super comfortable. Serviced daily with new coffee pods and towels for pool/shower. Friendly reception staff. Kids loved the daily riddles, jumping on bouncy pillow, swimming in the pool (which was perfect temperature for young and old), visiting Beach Road deli or Surf Shack for good coffee and food. Thanks for allowing us to make memories with the 3 other groups of family we stayed with."

"If arriving late, the code opens the gate, but if the barrier arm lowers before you drive through, enter the code on the other keypad, the one that a person would use when leaving the property. Friendly staff."

"The property was warm, sunny, modern, clean and had a really well equipped kitchen. We loved the spacious living areas. The beds were really comfortable andd there was extra bedding supplied which was needed for the cooler nights we had. The bathrooms were clean and modern with good showers and no shortage of hot water. The only thing we would have liked in the upstairs bathroom was a small bin so we didn't have to run back downstairs with bits of rubbish.All in all it was a wonderful place to stay."
