Staff were very friendly and helpful. The price was great. My unit was a bit dated but everything worked. If you book "Flat 1" be aware there will be people running around upstairs. Didn't bother us much because we had two noisy toddlers anyway but if you want quiet, book a different room. I would definitely rebook at this holiday park in future despite the minor downfalls. The river view is beautiful and Paihia only 5 or 10 min away by car.
My partner, myself, my daughter and my two grandchildren staued the night in the sunshine house..
We were attending my mums funeral and it was the perfect place to rest, align, relax and prepare emotionally for the funeral held the bext day..
We were opposite the river which was very tranquil and peaceful..
Our accommodation was perfectly clean and we could not fault anything..
We are thinking to return again for a holiday retreat..
Absolutey stunning..
Perfect staff also..
I really liked our room and the activities that were available amazing water view 😍 the surroundings and I must say the two lovely staff that we had meet there and also 😀 a note with my ame on it giving me instructions on where and what considering we arrived so late at night thank you so much for a great stay 😀
Very nice place to stay and just far enough out of town too

The unit we had was spacious. Nice linen. Basic needs met. I didn’t like no one available after 6 pm when a fuse blew because we had one too many appliance on!! Communication was really good though when available.

Nice campground. For the first night we were placed in a rather damp and rundown "toursit flat" which was not what was booked as what had booked was already full. The helpful staff then moved us to the much nicer cabin we had booked.
Good location to access both Kerikeri and Bay of Islands!
