Accommodation was perfect 👌🏽. Apartments were clean and well equipped with what we needed. Had everything you need to keep the kids happy, close to the beach with ice cream/fish and chip shop across the road, close to town 5mins to paknsave and countdown. Would definitely stay here again. Kids loved it. Thank you to the lovely staff who kept us topped up with towels during our stay, cause our kids just wanted to swim all day.
That there was only 1 key that had to be shared for our household, it would've been better to have 2 keys as it is used for everything to enter gates, pools, games room etc

The two storey accomodation was perfect for our 5 day stay. We loved being elevated and having the view of the beach. The apartment was modern, clean, well set out, had beautiful big windows and the staff were extremely approachable and helpful. We absolutely loved our stay.
It wasn't clear when we booked the apartment that the accomodation was in a camping ground. Once we got over this initial shock, we ended up loving the environment. We enjoyed seeing the families enjoying their tenting and caravanning holidays.

Location was fantastic, Apartment was amazing, very comfortable, clean and modern. Everything you could need and more. It's part of the Top 10 Camp Ground so if you have children they will have access to all the Camp facilities eg Playground, Pool, Courts etc
It wasnt a major but with the bedrooms downstairs, if anyone was moving around upstairs you could hear it in the bedrooms and it was quite noisy. Not ideal if someone is trying to sleep while others are upstairs.

We were a group of 8 ladies on a weekend away. The location as excellent as it was an easy drive to vineyards and restaurants, we relaxed on the beach in the afternoon and then went for lovely long walks in the morning
As trivial as it sounds - perhaps an extra mirror in the bedroom or up in the lounge would've been great as only one mirror in the bathroom and 3 ladies getting ready wasn't convenient

We had stayed in the camp area of the park earlier and returned with our adult children to stay in a 3-bedroom apartment this time around. Comfortable, great location and ideal for a family get away.
A mirror in the upstairs bedroom would be good. Only mirror was in the downstairs bathroom, was poorly lit and three adult females competing for space

The views from the apartment are fabulous. If you have children it is easy to monitor , watch them on the jumping case from the balcony of the apartment. the enclosed out door deck is amazing and a great outdoor eating place.
a few more kitchen gadgets e.g rice cooker , toasted sandwich maker and air fryer.

The location was great and the view from the apartment was beautiful. The use of the other camping ground facilities such as the pool was a real positive.
The internet didn't work well in our room, including on the TV.

The room was great, nice pool and good location
Nothing really. Would have been good to have a small drying rack available in the room to set up on the balcony and table mats to avoid marking the table when eating.

We loved the view!! Overall the apartment was clean and tidy and the recycling facilities were a great touch. The side lamps in the room were great and the staff were friendly also. We would recommend to friends and whanau and will be back.
There were a few, but minor flaws.. When we arrived, we removed our shoes and made our way upstairs - the floor felt like it hadn't been swept properly, like their was sand or something. It was a little inconvenient not having a washer/dryer in the apartment(which I didnt check beforehand), or having the staff change our tiny rubbish bags each day. The Netflix didn't work at all either. These we just minor things, and overall we had a wonderful time!
