Water on each site.
It's on flatland between sea and mountains, don't expect any stunning views.
However, the pub & garden makes up for anything which is missing. Come there just to have roasted lamb & few Guinness from tap, it is definitely worth it!

Railway Reserve, Marshall Street, Paeroa
Basically a carpark in the middle of the town, but: dump station and fresh water; squeaky-clean public toilet.
For $5 per night (per car/van, not person), this seems to me a god-send for an overnight stay.
Note that the $5 fee is payable at the gas station across the street (not city council or some early-closing-office), so you can arrive anytime.
