Travellers' Choice

Golden Bay Holiday park is located on the beach in the centre of Golden Bay, halfway between the Abel Tasman National Park and Farewell Spit. It is a spacious park comprising 210 campsites, 2 luxury apartments, 6 cabins and a self-contained cabin. The park is in a rural area at the end of a private road and is bounded by bush and pasture, with a river down one boundary and fronted by its own private beach. There is no street noise, and no street lights to disturb the natural setting. In the morning the sun rises out of the sea, and a beach fire in the evening is the perfect way to finish your day. We are dog friendly in our low peak season from beginning of March to end of November.

Beautiful camp

This camp is in a beautiful location, sheltered in the prevaling wind, its quite large and was very busy but that's expected at this time of year. The facilities are quite old, they have done up a shower block which is very nice but the coin operated showers were very problematic most days. Its a shame that these upgraded facilities are not being kept clean as evident in the slime buildup around the perimeter of the floors over the week we where there. The kitchen floors also needed attention. I saw cleaning staff once while I was there over 7 days and observered a less than average attempt to clean a toilet cubicle. The staff seem to be a little disinterested in general but especially with cleaning, and given the current covid climate, more could be done here. Don't let this put you off a visit as there is plenty to do around the area and a great bakery and craft shops up the side road to the camp. Just remember some hand gel and wear jandels in the shower.…

Thank you for your feedback Wink. The campground is in a beautiful location, is large and does get very busy at this time of year. We have many positive comments and happy campers staying with us with the popularity of the park growing year by year. It surprises me you only saw a staff member cleaning ONCE over the period of a week you stayed with us. There are actually 4 staff members rostered on to clean the ablution blocks and hard accommodation during the peak period. They start at 4.30 in the morning while the blocks are quiet so the cleaning can be done efficiently. Another clean is done after lunch and then another check is done after dinner. It is also very disappointing you found the staff "disinterested" , we put a lot of effort into ensuring our guests receive a high level of service, this can be confirmed by the majority of other reviews placed on Tripadvisor.

If it’s not summer then camping is hard work

This is an amazing location but the facilities are old and very very tired. The bathroom and toilet facilities are a very low standard, however it does appear that some renovation work is underway to one of the toilet blocks. We were camping and after being told that the toilets close to us were open, we discovered (after setting up our tent) that the water was turned off and we had a long long walk to the bathroom in the rain. We were pretty brassed off! We called at the office several times only to find it unattended. The people in RVs with onboard facilities seemed pretty happy.... as mentioned at the beginning, it’s a great location.

Hi Christine. Thank-you for your review. We apologize the water had been turned off to the toilets, we were unaware of this. During the renovations we tried our best to keep as many facilities as we could open, we are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused. We are pleased you enjoyed our great location Kind regards Management

Great campsite on the beach

Great campsite in a beautiful area. We were at the back of the camp ground (opposite end to the beach) and there was lots of room for the kids to play. Very friendly and relaxed. There was a coffee cart that came every morning which was a bonus. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Quick Overnight Stop

We were keen to see this part of the coast & called in by chance towards the end of the day 🌅 Just a sign at the office saying owners were busy, help yourself to a spot & enjoy 😊 Set up camp right next to the beach, unpowered spot. Excellent grounds & facilities. Clean kitchen & dining, tv area, toilets 🚽 hot showers 🚿 & BBQ’s. All we needed. Note: you need to push the corresponding button for the shower you use for hot water. I would believe that would read left to right, 1, 2, 3. However, I was in shower one & needed to push number three. Not a great problem, but a small naked dash 🤪

Golden Bay Holiday Park

Love this campsite, right on the beach with beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Facilities are good theres lots of storage for food, fridges, freezers which is great if you are camping and the kitchens are well equipped. Great to get a bit further out into Gilden Bay, if you prefer a slower pace this is for you. Try the bakery up the lane and the yoga studio out too.
