Golden Bay Holiday Park

It was right on the beach so that was great

I was not pleased to see dirty linen on the bed and cockroaches walking around me on my bed when I woke up :(

Location was perfect, it could not have been better

The location was lovely

The beds were super uncomfortable, and we weren't advised of tokens for the use of the shower.

Room

They charge for the bath.

Beautiful location!

Pas très loin de Wharariki beach.

Staff pas très agréable et les douches payantes.

Incredible location, peaceful and great value for money. Wonderful place for families with lots to do and see. We stayed in a self contained cabin and it was equipped with everything we needed. Great value for money.

Location is great and really nice communal facilities

Camp management were very obliging and available.

The bathroom area in the en-suite cabin lets it down. Otherwise a great space.

Lage war super, nah am Strand und sehr ruhig. Hütte ist schon etwas heruntergekommen. Spinnen im Haus. Einfach Fliegengitter ans Fenster und fertig! Bad sehr klein, auf dem Klo kann man kaum sitzen, man stößt mit den Knien an der Wand an. Dame an der Rezeption sehr nett und witzig. Trotzdem muss ich sagen, dass ich leider nicht wieder kommen würde.

The lady in the office was so brilliant and friendly . Great kitchen facilities

Mattresss wernt the greatest but still alright

Great size cabin Good location to the beach

No fan in the cabin and therefore loads of mosquitoes You can not really sit outside the cabin as the handrail blocks your view of the park

La proximité de la mer, l'espace, le lieu. Cabine très correcte en surface. Nickel !

Douches : pas de bonnes protections pour les habits qui attendent notre fin de douche. La salle des douches est petite et embuée.

Amazing holiday park, extremely nice staff, nice wild beach, good middle point to roadtrip to Wharariki and back

easy to find

We were travelling with a mall dog. I did my research before I left home and saw that this facility was pet friendly, but when we got there we were told that no dogs allowed De, Jan and Feb. Why was this not on the web page. Also in the office was a poster saying not pet friendly until 10 February! Why were we not allowed our dog with us as it was after 10 February? We met quite by accident a lovely couple who said that our dog could stay with them. If not for them we would have had to sleep in the car. My husband is 80 years old, a bit old to sleep in a car!!!

Great location right bedside the beach The cabin accommodation was very affordable. The cabins were spacious and had a very comfy bed

Nothing

Friendly staff, clean room, very nice modern facilities

Tried to get a cheap upgrade, didn’t manage to get one

We like the quiet and solemn place to relax.

.I recommend that women's toilet can be improved.

The view

It was in NZ & we are in WA!!!

Excellent place for family to stay.

Friendly and helpful staff , clean and pleasant cabin, lovely beach . Long walk to loo in middle of night!

Great being adjacent to beach.

Was nice and close to the beach, quiet area, very comfortable cabin.

Great location. The park was really quiet, with direct access to the beach ( I would definitely recommend it for summer). The cabin was comfortable.

Staff were nice. Easy check in. Nice campgound.

Unfortunately the shower and bathroom were very dated and in desperate need of a renovation. The shower wall was peeling off onto the ground. The windows were jammed and hard to open and the place smelt very mouldy.

Loved the glimpse of the beach from our lounge and how close we were to beach access. If I were staying again, I would request Apartment 4, if available.

Not sure if we were doing it right or if there was an issue with the starting mechanism but we couldn't get the barbecue to light.

Facilities were clean enough, close proximity to the beach is great.

Unfriendly staff. When we reached the holiday park after 7 hours of travel, the check in staff were more interested in shooing off people visiting the beach than checking us in. In the middle of the check in process, she left for several minutes to shoo visitors away. Very not pleasant to talk to as well.

Warm and dry. Beach access.

Bathroom outside

Great little holiday park in a serene location. The kitchen is large and clean, and was impressed by the showers. Just bear in mind that the cabins have no sound proofing so if you have noisy neighbours that could disturb you.

Welcome

It was close to the beach. Bed was comfortable. We could do laundry.

For the money we paid it was very poor value for money. The bathroom was tiny and the hot water was barely enough for 2 quick showers. It wasn’t close to anything else … I should have researched the location better and probably stayed in Takaka over this area.

Three of us, Mum, Dad & our daughter from Australia, booked the cabins, but not suitable for us so ended up Ina 2 B/room apartment on the Beach front which was perfect, lovely apartments, so nice, clean & has everything.👍The manager was most helpful when we needed advice.👍

The only thing was that it was a bit too far from town, restaurants if wanting an evening meal. But the apartment did have a BBQ, so not so bad.

Loved it would book again in a heartbeat

Location was amazing. Proceed very well. Perfect for our stopover

Nothing

Clean, good price, well organised.

Location and whole property.

Tough to get warm/hot water in shower.

Everything supplied; close to breach; short drive to shops

Position on beach and proximity to other attractions

No towel provided but this is probaly policy!

Beautiful scenic beach house, easy access to the beach. Newly built, quite clean, but there were a dozen huge annoying flies buzzing around the living room when we arrived. Also the second bedroom was locked from the inside with no way of unlocking it without a key, which we didn't have. Otherwise, the place was perfect, nicely decorated and designed. The motion sensor lights were a great feature, as well as the huge picture window.

Friendly staff. Fairy walk. Looking for penguins,. The beautiful beach. The facilities were great.

Had a bit of trouble with the showers. A couple of times they didn't work( even when following instructions).

Locatiom

Couch in beach house very uncomfortable

Loved the location, the design of the beach house and the facilities .. perfect!

Nothing critical!

The owners have been very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and tidy. The location was just perfect and very family friendly.

Everything

Beautiful location facing out towards the beach. The rooms were clean, tidy, modern and very warm for a cold spring day. We arrived late in the evening and were able to check in after hours, which was great!

nice beachfront views, lovely staff, spacious room, very clean and tidy

Have to pay for showers. Only takes 1$ coins.

The staff were 10/10 absolutely lovely people! And the cabin we were in was both comfortable and warm.

N/A

Nice campground close to a beautiful beach, amazing for morning walks and sunrises. The cabin was very confortable and equipped with a fridge, cutlery, plates and everything that was needed.

Tia was so welcoming and helpful in reception. The room was basic but perfect for our weekend stay.

Comfortable bed and good facilities

The curtain directly next to the loo

Basic cabin but sufficient. Close to beautiful beach but not exactly a beach view as advertised.

Water in shower cold at first despite filling instructions. Need to pay nominal amount for shower and for towel.

Great apartment right on the beach

Nothing

Gorgeous location, super clean with everything we needed.

Toilet space a little cramped but we are tall

park backs onto a beautiful beach

online advertising and booking mislead to believe we would be beach front facing and this was not at all the case as they had “recently” months ago relocated the cabins to build new beach front units. was very disappointed as we did not get what we believed we paid for. mentions this to reception and they apologised but nothing else offered for miss leading advertising, suggested they update their online advertising to reflect the changes in the campsite. outside of this the beach is stunning and location good, facilities are dated in some of the park and the newer shower block had faulty shower payment system that was very annoying -took coins and didn’t provide hot water, I let the park know and they refunded my shower costs.

We loved the location

We didn't like the noisy family in the cabin at the end closest to the shower block. Their children would run up and down the deck at 10 at night yelling and switching the lights on and off. They also kept moving the white rocks around. Each day I had to put them back where they were meant to be so I didn't trip over them. The whole family had no consideration for anyone else. Also. they waited until dark, then plugged in their electric car. The cord would lie across the walkway making it dangerous. I tripped over it one night when going to the toilet. They had it out there every night even in the pouring rain. It was a real health and safety issue. I'm sure they had no permission to have it plugged in especially as power in the showers is monitored with a $1 time period.

Even though this beach is in Golden Bay it is not an idyllic Golden Sand Beach as described. It is a nice beach but very rocky. We stayed in the cabins which were clean and tidy but the deck was miserable.

Close to beach

Didn’t get the room I paid for. Staff ignore you Not flexible or interested to help Very expensive for something the was build very cheap

It had its own private beach and was quiet.

There needed to be more kitchen facilities.

Tidy little appartments right on the beach front. Beautiful location.

Location and proximity to the beach.

On the beach

The blocked toilets and the smell of sewage twice. The shower in the toilet and shower block had no pressure and was very short inspite of all the money I put in. Our cabins were next to the dump and bad odours came out at times. Cabins were small and no were comfortable to sit to relax. Only 1 TV channel in main shared facility.

It's a beautiful place, nice and quiet. They went to a lot of effort to make Christmas Day fun, especially for the children. Clean and good facilities

Friendlier attitude from manageress. Cabins were no longer as depicted on website. We asked about taking a second cabin next door and were told it was booked but no one ever turned up.
