Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park
Quiet, Peaceful, Views, Comfortable, Friendly - 5 words to summarise Athenree Hot Springs and Holiday Park.
Our total score: 95%
Stayed over a couple of nights so my teenager could go to a birthday party in Waihi. Easy to understand why the park is booked out over December and January, but a great park for any time of year as it's well sheltered and restful. Lovely BBQ area (liked the pizza oven) and well equipped main kitchen, including utensils, pots and pans. A great place for full time travelers and part-time van travelers to recharge, do the laundry and get some good meals in! Close enough to Waihi Beach township - the fish and chips, Indian Takeaways and Bakery are awesome, not to mention the Flat White Café. Island View Fish and Chips were very good and only 6 minutes away!

Cambridge TOP 10 Holiday Park
A family friendly holiday park with excellent facilities, conveniently located in Leamington, Cambridge.
A pleasant stay in a parklike setting
Our total score: 89%
Only a 4 minute walk to great cafes, takeaways and the other services of Leamington, and 5 minutes drive to the supermarkets and shopping in Cambridge itself.
The sites are well sized, and there was adequate room for manouvreing caravans and motorhomes.
We had a pleasant stay at Cambridge Top 10, who are living up well to the Top 10 brand and standards.

Mount / Mt Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park
Nice Beach!
Our total score: 80%
A nice beach, great walks, heated pools and really close to restaurants and the Mt Maunganui CBD - but none of these are in the campsite itself.
Kitchens and ablutions are renovated to a modern look. There are amazing views from many sites, especially the Pilot and Ocean areas. Internet and showers were not the best, pushing the button every 30 seconds for the shower and slow upload speeds with both Wifi and cellular connections.
