This was a favourite campsite of ours when we were motorhoming around New Zealand for 6 months…read more The locations is beautiful- right by the lakeside- i mean RIGHT by the lakeside (we had wee chicks welcoming us out of the van in the morning); prices were amazing- we ended up staying for a week! And hospitality just amazing- we have such fond memories of this place. I would highly recommend it to any campers heading to Rotorua- dont bother with the campistes there in the town centre and head out here to Ngongotaha instead- bliss!

Absolutely love Home Bay. Huge grassy meadow to tent on and still have your own space even when a…read morelot of other people are there. Although I have never experienced a lot of people being there, and I used to go every summer. A calm beach of smooth stones which is great for swimming, and rockpools to explore at low tide. There are walks around both Motutapu and Rangitoto to check out if you're staying a while, otherwise just relax and enjoy the peace. There are flushing toilets, water, and it's only $6 per night (for adults, and $3 for children). You really can't find better. Take the ferry to Rangitoto and hike over, or access the bay itself by private boat. It's possible to kayak here but is recommended for experienced kayakers only.

Incredible camping spot right on the shores of Lake Taupo. Gets very busy during summer. Popular…read morefavourite with many. free to camp but no water or facilities except a very overused long drop toilet. 4 night maximum stay. Campers must take away all rubbish and not dump any waste water.

This place was awesome! We got a room with a queen bed and a bunk. The room was tidy, and spacious…read more The AC kept it cool the fan was really nice to have while we slept. IT was awesome that there are thermal pools on site! We enjoyed using the pools and meeting fellow travelers. The WiFi was very poor, as it is in many places we have traveled.

So Disappointing! So…read moredisappointing, small park unfriendly staff, although we had booked in advance no question of having our vans together, despite there being empty spaces the whole time next to us! Their hot pools were just everyday hot tubs and tiny swimming pool, far too small for the size of site! Digging your own pool on the beach is not what it seems, again very small area! Children's playground dangerously close to a real hot spring with very inadequate fencing! Facilities left a lot to be desired!

I found it to be a kid friendly, safe environment. My young grandson loved the playground and everyone enjoyed the natural hot pools and bbq facilities. We were well looked after by the friendly staff and I compliment them for metaculously upkeeping the gardens, pools and cabin rooms and supplying fresh towels every day. This place is worth visiting, put it on your list of places to stay.

A weekend getaway to Miranda is one of my favourite things to do, particularly if you can convince…read morethe grandparents to come along too! We've stayed in the motel apartments here which are new and fairly luxe with spa baths, and the whole place is designed for de-stressing - even when you have little ones in tow. There's plenty for the kids to do with a trampoline, playground, tennis courts, bikes for hire and more; plus of course the mineral hot pool which (blessedly) has a shade cloth over it so you don't expire. Like all hot spring towns, Miranda is better in cooler weather and I like that you can just stay here, walk next door to the main hot spring public pool, BBQ your dinner and not really do much else - just chillax and rejuvenate. The pricing here at the Holiday Park is really reasonable and I love that they cater to larger families as well with the chalets sleeping up to seven people.
