Was charged extra $20 at the campsite for linen even though this was not mentioned on the website. Cabin smelled of urine. Cushions were damp. Boy racers on the beach at night which kept everyone awake

We are sorry you did not see that linen is not provided in the standard cabin you booked. It is clearly stated on the website you booked from. Additionally, our photos show beds without top sheets and blankets. This to reduce the cost for people and is quite standard for cabins in holiday parks. Our cabins have been full most days this month and all the other guests have brought their own linen.Neither our cleaners nor the other guests who stayed in the cabin had mentioned an unpleasant smell. It couldn’t be urine as the cabin does not have a toilet. We have changed the inside floor mat as it had got wet and was a little smelly - maybe it was that?It was unfortunate and rare that there was a rowdy car on the beach that night but it did leave around 8pm. We had taken photographs of it, along with the car registration, and reported this to the police.It’s a pity you didn’t address things directly with us as we would like to have clarified your concerns immediately.

Had a happy time and will probably come again. BUT the images of the cabins right on the beach in your ad was totally misleading. I also think you should make it clearer that it is a no dog place.

Thank you for your review. We say we're right by the beach not on the beach which is true. The campground is the only thing down on opunake beach. There is the campground, then the road, the sand dunes and then the beach.

Great beach stay
Lovely little self contained cabin less than a minute from the beach and 5-10 minutes from the shops in town. Clean and tidy with a good shower, good fridge, two burners and all the kitchen stuff you'd expect. Comfortable bed, nice little deck for evening sunset views. Check in was friendly. Gave us lots of info about local sights and walks, including the local Opunake headlands walk. Would definitely stay again.

On the beach, the waves pounding down at night time, l liked the sound of the sea. The wind and rain was at its worst restricting activity. But that was okay.The cabin was warm and cozy. A comfortable chair to watch TV would of helped. The caretakers were friendly, efficient. To me.this was important. Which added to a relaxed stay. Opunake does have the best beach in NZ.

Just stayed he one night to catch up with family. We were advised to park in a different place due to the wet grounds. Glad we did. But felt the facilities were overpriced for this time f year.
