7.0/10

I had a decent stay at the park hotel, enjoying the clean, comfortable studio equipped with a heater and electric blanket for the cold nights. However, the customer service at the reception left much to be desired, and I found the road noise quite bothersome all night. The proximity to town and the spa pool were definite highlights for me.

Rooms

7.0

The studio was basic but clean and comfortable, with sufficient cutlery and crockery, and a good-sized fridge. However, it lacked adequate space for luggage storage.

Service

The reception staff could use better training in customer service, as my arrival was not very welcoming. A better approach would have improved the initial experience significantly.

We had a wonderful camping experience! The site was spacious and embraced by lovely trees that provided great shade. The facilities were impressively clean, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. It was nice to be within walking distance to the town and beautiful gardens. However, I wish the room had more outdoor furniture to enjoy the space better.

I found the campsite to be clean and tidy, conveniently located for accessing the town. However, the individual sites felt quite small and the noise from passing traffic was a bit bothersome. The price was higher than other places I've stayed recently, making it feel less value for money. Additionally, the staff could have been more positive in resolving the issues I raised.

This park is a true gem! It's set in a beautiful location with lovely trees and just a stone's throw away from the Oamaru Gardens, making it perfect for leisurely strolls. The facilities are well-maintained, and I particularly enjoyed the warm bathrooms and the lovely spa after a long day. While my experience here was mostly positive, finding the dump station was a bit of a chore. Overall, it's a relaxing and welcoming place that I would happily revisit.

I had an amazing family camping trip with 6 adults and 7 kids at this park hotel. The place was spotlessly clean with modern facilities, and the staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming. The proximity to the beautiful botanical gardens made for a perfect stroll into town, which I highly recommend. However, it would've been great if there were more dining options available on-site, and some areas could use a bit more maintenance.
