Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park
The location was great, the pool was great and the environment was beautiful. The cottage was okay but the fan wasn't cooled enough even when put on high. The shelf was dusty and there were ants on the floor.

All round excellent value. Hostel Alex went above & beyond. Let me use their water hose to wash my car and glass cleaner as well. Clean and modern suites. I highly recommend the place.
