Tasman Holiday Parks – Waihi Beach
Easy to book, easy access, helpful booking staff. But desperately in need of a cleanup. Overpriced for quality and cleanliness. Please dont publish my review; it is given as constructive criticism, private for the owners to work on. I have no intention of spreading bad vibes.

Great place to stay whilst venturing around the area. Clean and tidy and thoroughly enjoyed the soak in the spa pool after cycling the Historic Rail trail.

Absolute beachfront! Sleeps 12+
Built 2011
Excellent stay! The location is 10/10!! The house was perfect for our family to stay, it wasn’t too fancy which suited us great, it was comfortable but not too precious. We did bring our own deck chairs which we were grateful to have. Good supply of cooking dishes and crockery which was great.
