I had a fantastic camping experience at Tahuna Beach Holiday Park! The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the staff were super helpful. It’s right next to the beach and has great amenities for families. However, Wi-Fi was a bit of a hassle as it cuts out often, and I would have appreciated more options in the communal kitchen. Overall, it's a great value for a family-friendly getaway!

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was really convenient for exploring the area, and I appreciated the clean cabins that made for a comfortable stay. However, the dining options were quite limited and not the best, which was disappointing. The facilities were decent, but improvements are definitely needed in accessibility and some amenities during peak times.

While the playground and kitchen facilities were enjoyable, I wish there had been more accessible options, like a pool for the kids. Some equipment, like the freezer, was not working, which was a letdown.

I was genuinely surprised by my stay here. The accommodations were spacious and welcoming, and the staff was extremely accommodating when I arrived. However, the internet connection was very frustrating and detracted from my overall experience.

I had a fantastic stay at this holiday park, where the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations really stood out. The accessible beach was perfect for my kids, and the kitchen facilities were always well-maintained.

I had a decent stay at this campsite, with spacious pitches and a great location by the beach, perfect for enjoying stunning sunsets. However, the morning shower situation was frustrating, and the service could definitely be improved. The Wi-Fi allowance was also on the low side considering the price I paid. Overall, there's potential, but it needs some work.

Rooms

The pitches were really nice and spacious, which I appreciated, but being next to the boiler or generator meant I had a disrupted night.
