Absolutely ridiculous. Owner rude and quite clearly on drugs, staff have no idea what's been put in place, Came for a fishing charter, my room was given away and my belongings removed from the room without mine or my groups knowledge. Was moved from an ensuite room to a fold out couch with no bedding, and when confronted the owner was plain ignorant!!! Not to mention the noise all night from other guests! Well worth the moola- NOT. Should have just slept in my car!

We passed the entrance to this site on the way in to Kawhia & thought, no chance. But we had booked a pitch at tge waters edge & it was absolutely superb. Off grid but no problem for a couple of nights. A nice quiet beach 10 mins away where you can dig your own hot pool. Beautiful place

We loved staying here, it is the only campground on the waters edge in Kawhia, and to wake up to the view is simply fantastic. Conrad and his staff are friendly, helpful and work hard to keep the place lovely and clean. There is everything you could want, and only a few minutes walk into Kawhia with its shops, wharf, etc. We'll be back.

We had a cabin right on the water front, it was very clean and tidy and we had everything we needed. We definitely got value for money. The campers and caravans had plenty of room and moved about with a minimum of fuss. We would happily stay there again.

This camp site was so nice and relaxing. We easily parked our caravan on a site where we had full sea views. The owner, Conrad, was very helpful and made us feel at home. It was a small cute camp with everything you need…. showers, toilets, kitchen lounge, laundry, fish cleaning. These facilities were clean and a pleasure to use. We’ll definitely be returning.

I stayed in Kawhia on my way home from Auckland. I was also attending an unexpected conference in Hamilton, which I went to from Kawhia. Conrad, the owner, is a very warm gentleman. We had several brief chats while I was going to and from his holiday park. Another day I just crashed out in my motel unit and read - which I could do anywhere, of course, but looking out the window at the harbour now and then, in such peace and quiet, was just what I needed after a busy few days. It was great value, the bed was very comfortable, and the unit had everything I needed. I got the two bedroom one which has a full kitchen and a good layout. The water was hot and plentiful, and there were extra blankets for chilly winter nights. It is a really good place to stay.

As far as budget accommodation goes this place is great. Great value, great location, clean with a good shared kitchen and lounge. The owner was really nice too. Thanks for a great stay:) I would also recommend going to Hot Water Beach (at low tide). It was amazing.

We stayed at a waterfront motel unit but was a bit disappointed with the "view". There was a rather large bush/tree hiding the view! We did read about stunning water front views so the bush wasn't up to par, and could have easily been trimmed. The unit was clean and tidy but I noticed a plaster on the ground on the way up to the unit and a piece of broken glass. Just needs a few tweaks.

We had a two bedroom unit that had everything we needed without the bells and the whistles. Clean and warm it is a great place to stay. Great Kiwi hospitality at its best - we were given fresh fish at this outstanding fishing location. A very friendly holiday park with a good range of options.
