We wish to update all our guests that, for the first time in 8 years, we will unfortunately not be taking any day visitors in the park, until further notice.
This is part of our park's intensive safety measures we have put in place during the Covid 19 outbreak in New Zealand to keep our guests, staff and families as safe as possible.
We realise this may disappoint some of our regular day guests and some of our overnight guests who were hoping to have people visit them in the park during their stay this summer, but we trust you understand.
If you are booked in to stay at the park and looking for somewhere to meet up with family around Whanganui, our staff can recommend a whole list of fabulous places, so feel free to ask.
We will be reviewing our decision, based on circumstances at the time, after the summer school holidays.
If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact us on 063438402 or at [email protected] or send us a FB Message.
We love our guest feedback. Thanks to Eve for this lovely review of her recent stay. And thanks to all our guests who take the time to tell others about how much they enjoy staying at our holiday park. 🙏
