Nice tidy cabin. Kids loved the playground and jumping pillow.

Having not checked in before their reception closing time, staff called to reassure us where they'd left the key and instructions so we could check-in whenever suited us.

Thanks!

I booked a basic cabin which was lovely and clean. There were no coffee making facilities but there is a coffee cart on site which was great. Lovely pool and immaculate grounds.

Lovely park like setting, very quiet.
The unit was excellent and beds very comfortable. The amenities were exceptionally clean and catered for all our needs. A congenial owner was very helpful.
Short walks to the marina and boat club was a bonus. This was our 2nd stay so highly recommend.

Friendly staff, great location just out of the township. Bathroom was a little pokey but served its purpose. Kids loved the playground and the jumping pillow. Bed was not the most comfortable but it did the job. We stopped here to break up our travel and have a rest before travelling further. Was a very popular location.

Outstanding value in lovely natural surroundings. If you are fit, drive up to the Snout Trail and hike it to the Queen Charlotte Overlook! Cabins have TV, WiFi works great, far enough out of town (Picton) that you need a car. Cabins and bathrooms are spotless thanks to a superb housekeeper from Samoa. Owners are very nice and always make time for guests. Cheeky turkey look-a-likes crow in front of your accommodation and put on a show for a cracker. Well run outfit at a very reasonable price!

Good economical choice near Picton.

We stayed in a small cabin, consisting of a double bed and a set of bunked beds. The beds were good quality. The facility also had a large kitchen area and a small pool, though we did not take advantage of them. Excellent location, just outside of Picton in a quiet area.

Excellent quiet couple of nights

Great cabin with good kitchen facilities, everything needed was there. Bedding and towels provided all good. Just a couple of kms from the ferry, lovely and quiet and well set out with green areas. Handy to walk down the road about 10 mins to the marina and Waikawa bay which is lovely with waterfront bar. Handy as well to walk in Victoria Domain and along to Queen Charlotte viewpoint. Really need a car to get here and enjoy. Picton itself is a really beautiful little place, great waterfront park, cafes, etc. Good for a stop off for a day or so before or after the beautiful ferry through the Sounds to Wellington.

Value for money, very convenient for the ferry!

We stayed in a basic cabin, comfortable beds with a decent sized kitchen area. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped and very clean & tidy. The carpets in the room were in need of a clean though!
The shower/toilet block was good with really nice showers. We didn't use the campsite kitchen or laundry but from a glance they looked very well maintained. Overall a pleasant overnight stop to catch our early ferry the following morning.

Peaceful

Even though we arrived late at night from sailing across from Wellington. We returned to the area and spent time in the bay further from Parkland.

Very peaceful setting and would like to return to Waikawa Bay in the near future for a holiday.

Hayley and Nick were wonderful and even though our stay was only overnight, their hospitality was was and homely. They also offered a great service of driving us back to the Interislander to pick up our rental car.

I would highly recommend Parklands Marina to friends and Whanau.

Thank you

close to Ferry and quiet off street parking

This is the second time I have visited here and both times were great.
I have a large enclosed trailer and it hard to park at most motels and this has tons of parking and the hosts are happy with this.
The site is close to town so easy access to all shopping and dinning requirements are catered for.

Beautiful setting. Well equipped holiday park

Very clean cabin with small kitchen and bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin. Fully equipped small kitchen. We only stayed one night but there is lots to do around here. Very well equipped children's play area with trampoline and also a bouncy pillow. Unfortunately I had booked for the wrong night and there was not another standard cabin available. As it is winter there were other cabins and we were more than happy with the assistance we received, the upgrade etc so my description is not for a basic standard cabin. However, they all looked very clean and tidy and the grounds were well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice comfortable room except for light on bed

The room was clean and the staff were really friendly. They have a spot to wash your boat/vehicles which was handy. The microwave in the kitchen was handy, but access was awkward to open the door as it opens right to the stove top and quite dangerous when you are using the microwave and stove at the same time. The light above the bed should be moved - it is way too low. Would stay again but really believe the microwave and bed light need attention to.

Our 24hr holiday experience:)

As soon as we walked into our cabin (2 adults, toddler) we felt comfortable and relaxed. Our beds made up, we arrived in the middle of the night and we all fell asleep immediately only to be woken up to a beautiful setting where our cabin was located. As with a toddler we felt our little one was definitely catered to, the Kangaroo Jumper was awesome we all enjoyed play time with our toddler. When we woke, there was a wee family of ducks nearby for our little one to be entertained.The playground was well equipped.

Amenities- very good. no need to buy plastic ware as you just pop by the office and every item can be collected for use and then returned.
Kitchen: very clean and great equipment.
A hair dryer available in the ladies bathroom:)
Surrounded by nature, lots of walks for us all, plus lots of naps was all we needed before we set off for another 11hr journey ahead of us the next day.
Hosts- absolutely nothing was a problem to help guide us for activities and local knowledge of the area. Very accommodating and friendly.
Staff: Friendly and happy to chat, whilst multitasking :)
We would definitely recommend the park.
