At the holiday park, all units include a wardrobe. Some of the units include a cable flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer. At the holiday park, all units have bed linen and towels. Looks like a brand new property, everything is in tip top shape, especially the bathrooms which had so many hooks in each stall (this seems to be pretty rare in holiday parks). Room was clean, comfortable, bed had heated mattress, kitchen fully equipped.

Situated in Ross, 23 km south of Hokitika, with some of the worlds most beautiful and rugged coastlines, Ross Beach Top10 Holiday Park is an absolute beachfront property with limited WiFi availability throughout the property. we LOVED everything about this accommodation & we cannot wait to return again. We stayed in the beachfront cabin with bath, sadly the weather was against us but we still loved being right there on the beach & enjoying the wildness of the Tasman sea etc. We had everything we needed in the cabin & we were very very warm. The cabins also include a private outside area with small BBQ & outside seating. BTW we were skeptical about not have a TV in our cabin BUT after 1 day/night we said we could easily do 2++++ minus TV's etc & will happily book again with this knowledge. However as said weather wasn't the kindest BUT we all (including other guests) enjoyed a magical sunset in between clouds & rain & then the most magnificent rainbow. We cannot wait to return & next time we hope to try out the dome accommodation, switch it up a bit. A BIG shout out to the young couple who managed the park, they were extremely helpful & went out of their way to make our stay just so enjoyable...hope to see you again soon

Situated in Waikawa, just 3.5 km from Picton in the Marlborough Sounds, Parklands Marina Holiday Park offers guests access to an outdoor pool, jumping pillow, children's playground with a trampoline. The spacious holiday park is surrounded by plenty of leafy trees and grassy areas and is home to many species of native birds. really clean & comfortable including the communal kitchen & bathroom. while the kitchen stock was quite basic (we travelled with car not camper so did not have any items ourselves) we could still cook meals. room was quite spacious and had a TV. the pool was a added bonus and looked really clean.

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve, this holiday park features a coin-operated laundry and gas BBQs. Families can relax with 2 TV rooms, a children’s playground and a petanque court. We loved staying at the Top 10 in Hamner Springs. It had everything we needed, was in a great location and the staff were lovely and so helpful. Very relaxed and easy going feeling, especially as we were travelling with kids.

Featuring views of Lake Wanaka and the surrounding mountains, Wanaka Top 10 Holiday Park offers free Wi-Fi. Guests have access to a ski and snowboard drying room, BBQ facilities and a children's playground. Loved the little extra attention to detail, like the basket service and replenishment of room items. Room was beautifully presented. Spa and sauna were amazing after a day up the mountain!! Could not fault anything- property was perfect and value for money for families travelling and wanting kitchenettes.
