Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- KuimiriaAWellington, New Zealand67 contributionsMataatua, the house that returned home. The story of a wharenui fit for a queen that was taken by the Govt of the time and sent in 1870 to Sydney, Melbourne, London and back to Dunedin where it was given to the Otago Museum. It was finally returned in 1996 to Ngati Awa. Needless to say the whare was in a poor condition and had to be renewed before being erected. Today we heard that story with an audio visual display, followed by a pohiri and introduction to the ancestors. We finished with a hakere of fry bread and kawakawa tea.Written 17 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JevvecKatikati, New Zealand98 contributionsThis camping ground is in a lovely setting, surrounded by trees. We find it very peaceful. The swimming pool is full size though in my opinion the water is a bit too warm to do much swimming but it IS a hot spring. It was very sunny while we were there so we were grateful for the shade cloth. The facilities may be a bit old but they are well cared for and clean.Written 2 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lauren1 contributionI've been a few times up the river with the Kiwi Jet boat tour family and each time has been unique and exciting. The crew are amazing people that make you laugh and share their love for adventure and the trip up the river never gets old as it is truly beautiful. Great for all the family and friends. A must do around Whakatane !Written 29 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
