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.

Room was small but enough space for a couple of nights. Staff was really concern about cleaning. Kitchen has enough kitchenware to make a decent meal, in the night usually very busy.
