The children (9 and 3) enjoyed their visit, as anything with animals always delights. HOWEVER, the adults were horrified. The place stank of animal poo. The exotic birds were caged in such a miserable environment - only a bare branch to perch on if they were lucky. No greenery, no stimulation - nothing! The place was just so depressing - soulless and desolate. We were very tempted to report it to the SPCA. Still might. They should visit the Bulls Wool Heritage Park in Karangahake for a lesson on how it should be done.

Was looking up things to do in Whitianga with 2 kids under 10.
Such a good price for what you see. It was great and the kids loved it.
Highly recommend.

Another wonderful holiday at Mill Creek. Now with 4 children to entertain, it beats any campground hands down. Waking up to the sounds of the birds tweeting is magic.
Hot showers, kitchen with fridges for your food. No need for ice and chilly bins.
The owners, Fred and Gaye, are so lovely!
We stayed for almost 3 weeks this year and if the kids didn't have to go back to work, we would still be there.
Take your kids, take your partner. You can camp or grab a cabin. Neither will break the bank.
Enjoy the serenity that is Mill Creek.
As I write this and listen to the construction outside, I wish we were still there !
