Harbourside Holiday Park

Wonderful experience

The cabin was minimal as it had only beds and a fridge. The advertised bathroom was in fact a shared campground facility. Be careful when booking and read the details carefully or you may not get what you think you are booking. Looks like a good place for campervans though.

We stayed in a Deluxe 2 Bedroom Unit - they were very new and a deck was being built while we were there. The open plan living area is perfect for relaxing, cooking, playing cards with friends, watching tele or just looking out over the campground. Service was friendly, professional and faultless. Bathroom was so clean and lovely to use and be in. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable - a very large Super King! The dining table is lovely - round being perfect for playing cards and easy to wipe clean. The air con was quick to heat up and easy to use. The location is perfect - very close to town for when we used our bikes to get there. Check in and out was a breeze. Our friends had a mobile home - the owners kindly gave them a spot right opposite our unit. We highly recommend this place to stay - the price was very reasonable for what we had - if ever we come back to Whitianga, this is where we would definitely book again - thanks!

Fantastic location easy walk to town. Very friendly team. Dog friendly :) Loved our stay. Only downside is pool only open from 10am so our son was sad he couldn't have a swim before departing. However pool was lovely and clean and good depth. We will be back again!

Couldn’t be more grateful for the owners of this place! Due to an unfortunate tyre blow out myself and partner were unable to get to our location for the night. We were looking for somewhere close to the tyre place as our spare was also flat but it was past 7pm in the evening so repairs could only happen the next day. We phoned the out of ours number at the reception of this campsite and were so grateful that it was answered and we were able to get a powered site at such short notice! The facilities here were clean, kitchen lovely to cook in and the actual site itself was well looked after. A shame we were only passing through and couldn’t stay longer but felt very safe and looked after due to the kindness of the owners. Couldn’t recommend anywhere better to stay in this area!

Due to covid we could not go on our family trip , no understanding from owners, no refund and not even an offer to swap dates for another time. Very disappointing and money down the drain. Such big hearts harbourside 😡

Meant to visit this place after Waitangi Day but due to the declared State of Emergency, advice not to travel to the Coromandel, and road closures we canceled. The owner told us that the State of Emergency was not needed and that all roads were open. Checked this out and this was simply not true. They refused to give any kind of refund and frankly were rude and abrupt. We would have been happy with half of our money back. Everything is ok at this Park until there is a problem and then the owners just do not want to help or meet you anywhere in the middle. Will never go there again when there are other campsites that are friendlier, more helpful, and go the extra mile.

This was our third or forth stay at Harbourside and as always we found it pristinely clean, and the relaxing park like surroundings were perfect for a getaway. A very high percentage of guests cancelled prior to the weekend as the annual Whitianga Greenstone Concert was cancelled. Such a shame !!! The roads via Whangamata were open, the weather was nice, the town was visitor ready. The holiday park owners and all the businesses in Whitianga so rely on the revenue from long weekends and they would have all lost thousands of dollars of revenue over the weekend. We had a great time - see you again next year.

Our family spent 5 nights at Harbourside Holiday Park, we had the most fantastic time, the park was ideal for families, our children spent most of their time in the pool with the other children, riding their bikes or hanging at the playground. Judy and Mike do a great job running the park and also making sure it is safe and family friendly. They both work so hard each day and you can see how passionate they are about the place. We were here several years ago and can see the upgrades that have been done. Highly recommend and our family will be back. Thank you Mike and Judy
