Great facilities, nice pool, close to Hot Water beach for digging holes in hot water! Clean amenities, and the staff were so lovely. Cell phone reception minimal, so its a nice break for all!

Two nights stay at Hot Water Beach
We stayed 2 nights at an Ensuite Villa and the stay was lovely and confortable.You can easy walk to Hot Water Beach using a dedicated pedestrian path. Close driving to Hahei where we took the watertaxi to Cathedral Cove

Hi JoelThanks so much for your fantastic review. Great to hear you enjoyed your time at the park. Many thanksVivianne
Wow, we were definitely surprised by how much we loved the Hot Water Beach Top 10 Holiday Park. We wished we booked more nights. We had our own canine with en-suite, front porch and our own grill. The property was clean, the bed comfortably and by 9 pm the place was quiet and everyone was in for a good night sleep. Wry convenient to Cathedral Cove and the Hot Water Beach. We look forward to our next visit.

Friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We had never booked anything like this. Wanted to be close to the beach. Felt like glamping. I .would stay again.

Hi HowardThanks so much for your review. Please note the pool was still in built therefore it wasnt very tidy. The pool is now open and it looks great. Many thanksVivianne
Everything was good except that $120 for one person per night was quite expensive. I know, it would have been cheaper, had I booked earlier. But it was last minute decision to join my friends on that trip

Thanks for the review John. Glad you had a good time here. The kitchen equipment is unfortunately removed by other campers quite often and we have to constantly top it up. All the best with the rest of your travels.CheersTim
This was such a great place! Stayed in the executive suite with queen bed, bunk bed, bathroom and kitchenette. Lots of activities for kids, tons to do at the beach! If we knew how much fun it was we would have stayed longer!

Hi Jo. Thanks for the great review. Our cabins don't have bathroom facilities. These are located in the nearby facilities block. If you ever stay again you could book the ensuite villas or deluxe villas which do have bathrooms.CheersTim
Ideal location being so close to the Hot Water Beach

It is $75 extra to have a small cabin with a bathroom! We booked our cabin, which showed a bathroom in the photos and learned when we arrived not only no bathroom but the community bathroom was quite a distance away along with community showers. They need to be more clear on this. My partner has cancer and must be careful to not expose others to his fluids and he had a knee and hip problem. It seems these parks are not interested in multigenerational families. We met our grandkids there but will need to find places that understand the need to have a bathroom or one that is affordable.

Hi Susan. So sorry you had this experience at our park. The 75 extra was an upgrade to a much better accommodation choice - Ensuite Unit which included it's own Bathroom and a bunkroom for kids (sleeps 4). The purpose of showing an image of the shared Bathroom on Expedia was to show what it was like and the description listed it as a shared bathroom. We have taken on board your feedback and now removed it from the images with just the description saying shared bathroom. We are not quite sure what you mean by us not being interested in Multigenerational Families as we have multiple accommodation options dedicated solely to this purpose including the motel and apartment. As these are quite popular they may have been booked out when you were wanting to stay. If you would like to discuss this further or have any other recommendations on ways we can improve please contact us through our website. I hope your grand kids had a good time here.Kind regardsTim
We were unlucky as the days we were visiting coromandel were raining the whole time, so we were unable to do any activities. The staff were nice and helpful, location is convenient if you wanna try the hot water beach. But because the area is so isolated not many shops around, not very developed for tourism.

The atmosphere and the people made it really feel special you had privacy but could easily find locations to meet people and the food and staff on premisis were excellent

Arrived after a long windy road into hot water beach. Check in to our deluxe villa 3 up the back. It was a well fit out cabin with all our needs for the night included own bathroom and toilet. A bbq on patio which we made use of. Only thing arriving late we had missed low tide for the beach. So had to wait for morning and then after check out

Thanks for the great review Gary. We are so glad you enjoyed your time here. All the best with the rest of your travels.
We received a lovely warm welcome by Mary who took the time to explain everything, book us into a boat trip etc. Lovely little delux cabin. Park is very well set up, great camp kitchen and facilities. They have a shop with a large range of groceries as well as a Fish & Chip shop.
You can also hire out shovels for the hot water beach experience (which we hadn't realised only occurs on low tide). Would definitely recommend it.
