We had an amazing time at the holiday park! With a perfect location near supermarkets and the town, it made our stay super convenient. The kids loved the pool, playground, and spacious communal areas. However, we did encounter some cleanliness issues in our cabin that left us a bit disappointed. Overall, it was a great family-friendly spot, but the cleaning could definitely use some improvement.

We had a wonderful stay at this park, slightly away from the hustle of Whitianga but close enough to everything we needed. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and our studio unit exceeded expectations in comfort and accessibility. However, more trees for shade and better Wi-Fi would enhance the experience.

I had an enjoyable stay at Harbourside Holiday Park, which is a chill and spacious campsite just a short walk from Whitianga town and the beach. The amenities were decent, but I noticed that the toilet and shower blocks could use some upgrades, especially since they get crowded during peak times. Overall, it's a nice place, but I believe some improvements like better Wi-Fi and upgraded facilities would enhance the experience further.

Although the campsite has decent amenities, the toilet and shower blocks need attention. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was quite slow and limited.

Our stay at Harborside Holiday Park was quite enjoyable, with clean conditions and plenty of facilities for families. The location is just a stone's throw from town, which made it easy to explore the area. We did have some minor hiccups, such as a slow WiFi connection and a heater challenge in our cabin. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and great value for our family trip.

The cabin was clean and had a well-stocked kitchen with everything we needed for cooking. However, it had a plug-in heater which made it difficult to maintain a consistent temperature.
