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.

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.
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023
Response from Tim on 17 Jul 2023
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.

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

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.
