Staff was friendly. The unit we stayed in was clean and so were the toilets and showers. The showers were very nice too with a decent water pressure. What I didn't like was the neighbors that were leaving very early in the morning and could hear the sliding door open and close, same for the vehicle's doors being open and closed continuously. Not that this holiday park can do much about this last one though.

All of the staff that I interacted with had the best customer service I have ever come across in Nelson - and that’s saying something because I lived there for 24 years.
The *only* thing that may stop me staying there again in the future is actually a major positive for the park - the entire grounds are smoke free! As a smoker myself, this was a tiny bit of a pain but, it was so nice to see that this was a policy considering the amount of children that probably stay there 😁.
Well done all. Keep up the amazing work!

The limited shower to 5mins was a bit disappointing ,had i known there wasnt going to be a ablutions block where i could shower for longer than 5 mins then i probably wouldve booked somewhere else ...after travelling on the open road for 10hours a lengthy shower wouldve been very appreciated .
Other than this downfall my stay there was good and peaceful .

We stayed as a family of 3 in one of the kitchen units for 4 nights while exploring Nelson. It was surprisingly quiet for being right in town and close to the centre. It’s a very small motor camp with not much green but it is very clean and management are extremely friendly and helpful. We would come again. Very good value for a tidy, central location with friendly service.

The kitchen and bathroom amenities are inadequate. Instead of charging for dishes and cooking utensils, a returnable deposit would be more practical. Requiring guests to return dishes to the reception is inconvenient and even hazardous. Additionally, the water mixers in the kitchen provide only scalding hot water or ice-cold water, so it's necessary to seek out a suitable mixer.

Towels should be readily available during check-in, as it's a basic necessity, despite the convenience for the staff to provide them upon request. It's also essential to ensure that soap and shampoo are accessible in the showers.

The family bathroom lacks changing facilities for small children, which should be addressed to accommodate families more effectively.
