Tasman Holiday Parks – Waihi Beach
Room was clean but no hot water to clean dishes. There was a strom not shelter when you want to got out to the toilet in the middle of the night . So you come back to bed wet. Shower block was dirty and some ones hair ball every were. Nice place to stay but they need to do a bit more cleaning .

Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven
They’re a bit of places out there and I would stay at one of them. Minimal facilities despite don’t work and they didn’t tell us staff was super unfriendly and seemed to put out every time we talk to them and we’re rude. Stay somewhere else.
