Wenderholm Camping Ground
This is a review for the new SCHISCHKA Campground at Wenderholme Regional Park.
A great, peaceful camp - recently new, so new plantings etc have yet to grow. Right beside the inlet. Excellent toilet block - no hot water, but plenty of cold water and drinking water fountains. One criticism would be the cost - at $13.00 per adult per night, it's quite expensive - we put that down to the new roading, plantings, toilet block costs etc, but for the security, peacefulness etc, it's worth it. We have now been 3 times and will definitely be returning.

Stayed last weekend for 2 nights, and as always, brilliant.
Service, facilities, staff - fantastic. It's our favourite winter camp and are always so sad when it's time to pack up and go home.!

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools Campground
We stayed in our caravan for Easter and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Enough area to sit outside the caravan, facilities basic but very good - toilets, shower, small kitchen. Excellent drying room for wet swimwear and towels. Lovely and quiet camp, checkout time @ 12.00, which is excellent compared to the standard 10.00am at most camps.
And of course, all people staying at the camp have free use of the pools which is a huge plus, and you get the benefit of enjoying the clean pools before the public arrive from 10.00am. The staff were excellent. Highly recommended.

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools
The best natural geothermal pools by a mile to any others we've experienced.
Great variety of pools, along with private pools (at a fee) which are well worth it. Very clean pools - emptied, cleaned and refilled daily. Good changing rooms with showers. Lovely setting. Excellent staff. Good cafe. Highly recommended.

Whangateau Holiday Park
We stayed, along with our friends (it was their first time a caravan), for one night.
We have been coming to the camp for a few years and normally thoroughly enjoy it. However, there seem to be more and more rules, ie. check-in from 2pm which is crazy, especially for a powered site. No visitors till noon, and they must leave by 8.00pm, yet curfew isn't till 10.00pm. The other disappointing issue for us that time was that although we had booked 2 sites side by side, we were to find on arrival that our friends had been relegated to the back row. Luckily after some re-jigging, they were able to camp beside us - this shouldn't happen. The .50c for the showers still causes a few hiccups. Should be changed to a timer, like fellow Miranda Holiday Park. These rules have put us off the camp temporarily which is a real shame as it was a favourite of our's. Please reconsider check-in times etc. However, still like the camp and the staff are great.
Hello Liz, We are very sorry your stay with us was not the best it could have been. Our rules have been in place for a long time now but we do have to be extra vigilant during our busier periods. Our office closes at 8pm and this makes it very difficult to know whether "visitors" have vacated or plan to stay the night. As we are a family park we do have a lot of families stay with young children who are generally in bed by this time. The check out and check in rules are fairly standard throughout most holiday parks but we do offer early check in or late check out for our camp sites as long as this has been arranged with our office. We apologise for the small error with your friends being separated and are happy we were easily able to rectify this for you. We do hope your next stay with us will be a far better experience and we ask if you have any concerns at the time of staying that you speak with the Park Assistant in the office at the time so they can do whatever they can to ensure your stay with us is satifactory.
Regards, the team @ Whangateau
