Raetihi Holiday Park & Cabins
From a car-travelling, tent-camper's perspective: overall a decent place, safe, well placed, has great glow worms a 2 minute walk away, but bathrooms are a bit worn out.
Great clothes washers and driers. Two of each, $4 to run per machine, with hot water too! Kitchen is in good shape, standard style. Shower was hot.
Mixed: Wifi available, but not free.
Cons: One block of showers were straight rundown. The second shower available gets the whole bathroom floor soaked. Second, for tents there are 5 lights that shine directly onto the lawn all night.
Hi Scott, thank you for your review - great to hear you enjoyed your stay :) We do have one run down shower building we have been asking our council for a couple of years now to help us out with it - but sometimes things move a little slowly :/ We are proud of the communal building with the kitchen, laundry and bathroom/shower. The wet floor shower is pretty standard in NZ for disabled bathrooms. We do need to charge for the wifi so that there is enough for everyone - if we gave it away for free, no one would be able to use it as it would use too much data! But there is free wifi just around the corner from our Holiday Park at the town library which we always recommend if customers can't afford to pay. In 2014 we spent quite a bit of money landscaping a flat camping area away from the security lights, and there is plenty of camping space there - sorry you did not find that area, but the other lights are pretty standard security lights and are required to be there. Thanks again for staying with us :)
