Otorohanga Kiwi Holiday Park

"Endless showers great washing machines and dryes great owners 0n site Billy and calvan nothing is a problem I have been in my caravan for 7 yrs all over nz iam still here and happy camper say hi when u get here kev"

"We stayed in the Park House and it was perfect for our stay. The rooms are large, the house is clean, the kitchen really well stocked and there is a heat pump in every room. There was only 4 of us in the end (it can accommodate 11) and the price was good for such a big place."

"The camping is located close to a wood factory. And not always quite for that reason. But good enough for a stop over on your way to Aukland. Toilets were clean and the shower as well. But the kitchen didn’t feel clean and a lot of the kitchentools were ‘out of order’. Great pool."

"Service is excellent! I failed to book ahead online for kiosk check in so Billy the lovely proprietor of the establishment walked over to check me in. She has a very helpful and cheery disposition. The camp is tidy with piping hot gas powered private showers. There is a media room, BBQ cooking facilities and a common kitchen as well as paid laundry facilities. My partner and I were just in need of an unpowered site to park our van for the night on our travels North. The unpowered “sites” aren’t so much sites as they are a patch of grass next to the common areas. The powered sites look much more private and a better value ($2 price difference). There is a heated pool on premise and spa pools are advertised in their amenities. To be honest this is the main reason we chose to pay for a site tonight and not travel to a freedom site or chose a slightly cheaper competitor camp in the area. Unfortunately for us the spa pools were out of commission ☹️. I probably should have called ahead to check. All in all it’s a very clean camp, with a bit of traffic noise from the road. I would prefer if the price of 2 people at a non powered site ($54) was closer to the price they charge for 1 person ($32). This is definitely the priciest spot I’ve parked up for a night in NZ for non powered camping (I’m sure pricier spots do exist). I reckon they are better known for their motel rooms and powered sites. However, if you want to treat yourself to hot showers, potential swims and lots of amenities they seem like very positive business owners to support anc they run a tight ship!"

"Avoid this place at all costs! This park is located on a busy bypass road next to the railway line and the sawmill, which operates through the night. The facilities were OK, very run down in parts. Someone cooked a stew one night and left horrible residue in the sink which remained for the next 2 days. The pool and spa were fine, but if I didn't jam my ears with wet toilet paper then the sounds of the trucks, trains and sawmill operations would have kept me up all night and I would've been a walking zombie. I think this place is set up for contractors not holiday makers. Don't stay here, it costs just as much to stay in neighbouring much quieter and more pleasant places."
