Waikaremoana Holiday Park
We were the only ones in our area (Zone 6 power site) as the weather wasn’t great even though it the last week of the Oct school holidays.
Fabulous view as we were right on the lake front. Basic washing up facilities, toilets and showers were right beside us. The showers were decent and hot and very thing was clean! Just just a short walk and there is a great block with fab toilets, showers, cooking area and common room including a fish filleting area! Staff were lovely and the shop has a range of food just like a dairy. Petrol was only 10c a litre more expensive then in Rotorua or Wairoa, so not devastating if you need to top up a bit. Be warned the road is mainly metal/shingle either way and from Rotorua a large camper would struggle- can’t be longer then 10m. Also there is absolutely no cell phone coverage which we loved and the kids dealt with remarkably well!

Lovely site, stayed right on the lake front in a powered site.
Showers were fabulous and toilets very clean. Kitchen was well set up with complimentary washing up liquid, dish brush and tea towels. Watch out for the swan poo! There are lots of ducks about too. Great place for skimming stones.
Unfortunately State Highway 1 is right there too and lots of trucks rumble through the night; not great if you are a light sleeper.
Hello and thank you for your review Kiwi Cypriot Family. We're super happy that you have enjoyed your stay with us. Yes, pity the swans can't take their body functions elsewhere, we wish they would too!! We provide earplugs for free at reception as we know that the highway can affect light sleepers. I am hoping these were offered to you when you checked in. Once again, thank you for taking the time to write your review and we hope to see you again soon.
