Otorohanga Kiwi Holiday Park

Very good camping. Helpful, kind and smiling hosts. We feel comfortable. Amenities are very clean, and nice to use. Lots of picnic tables, electrical outlets, which is very useful for the campers.Unfortunately close to a noisy road but the staff of the campsite is of course not to blame for this.I recommend it!

Service is excellent! I failed to book ahead online for kiosk check in so Billy the lovely proprietor of the establishment walked over to check me in. She has a very helpful and cheery disposition.The camp is tidy with piping hot gas powered private showers. There is a media room, BBQ cooking facilities and a common kitchen as well as paid laundry facilities.My partner and I were just in need of an unpowered site to park our van for the night on our travels North. The unpowered “sites” aren’t so much sites as they are a patch of grass next to the common areas. The powered sites look much more private and a better value ($2 price difference).There is a heated pool on premise and spa pools are advertised in their amenities. To be honest this is the main reason we chose to pay for a site tonight and not travel to a freedom site or chose a slightly cheaper competitor camp in the area. Unfortunately for us the spa pools were out of commission ☹️. I probably should have called ahead to check.All in all it’s a very clean camp, with a bit of traffic noise from the road. I would prefer if the price of 2 people at a non powered site ($54) was closer to the price they charge for 1 person ($32).This is definitely the priciest spot I’ve parked up for a night in NZ for non powered camping (I’m sure pricier spots do exist). I reckon they are better known for their motel rooms and powered sites. However, if you want to treat yourself to hot showers, potential swims and lots of amenities they seem like very positive business owners to support anc they run a tight ship!

The camping is located close to a wood factory. And not always quite for that reason. But good enough for a stop over on your way to Aukland. Toilets were clean and the shower as well. But the kitchen didn’t feel clean and a lot of the kitchentools were ‘out of order’. Great pool.

Tiny but comfortable cabins for our family of 4 to stay for one night. Not super clean and minimal amenities though.

We stayed in the Park House and it was perfect for our stay. The rooms are large, the house is clean, the kitchen really well stocked and there is a heat pump in every room. There was only 4 of us in the end (it can accommodate 11) and the price was good for such a big place.

Avoid this place at all costs! This park is located on a busy bypass road next to the railway line and the sawmill, which operates through the night. The facilities were OK, very run down in parts. Someone cooked a stew one night and left horrible residue in the sink which remained for the next 2 days. The pool and spa were fine, but if I didn't jam my ears with wet toilet paper then the sounds of the trucks, trains and sawmill operations would have kept me up all night and I would've been a walking zombie. I think this place is set up for contractors not holiday makers.Don't stay here, it costs just as much to stay in neighbouring much quieter and more pleasant places.

Great caravanning park.Good pool . Tidy grounds.good service.Only issues were site for caravan and awning a bit tight with a permanent resident in next so site.Oh and spa pools could be a bit hotter .

Do not stay here. Pros: pool and spa are ok. Cons: 1)NOISY!!! You will struggle to sleep given the busy road frequented by trucks, railway line, and timber mill operating late at night. 2) kitchen areas left in a messy state, and not really fit for use at times. 3) staff not very friendly or helpful when issues were raised.You can find better options for a similar price.

Good facilities, nice staff, but was very noisy all night quite pricy too. We were camping with access to the hot tubs and pool which were both pretty cold for what they should be.

We arrived here late one night and needed somewhere to sleep before a big gravel bike ride the next day .The service was excellent .Our cabin , although very basic, was totally adequate and all the facilities were clean and tidy .
