My husband was turned away after booking for himself and my 3 young boys, had some car issues and arrived late for check in. Clearly he explained this to staff and the response he received absolutely infuriates me with the sheer arrogance alone. Staff replied with "the chickens are all been put back in the coop, i wont be coming down to check amyone in" Shame !!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The price was great. My unit was a bit dated but everything worked. If you book "Flat 1" be aware there will be people running around upstairs. Didn't bother us much because we had two noisy toddlers anyway but if you want quiet, book a different room. I would definitely rebook at this holiday park in future despite the minor downfalls. The river view is beautiful and Paihia only 5 or 10 min away by car.
