For over 10 years I have taken my family to Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park for our annual 2 week camping holiday. One of the things that have kept us going back apart from being clean and well maintained was how kid friendly Athenree is. Our first visit was complete with a six month old baby and every year we have taken our kids and felt totally comfortable with them running around and making friends.
The general attitude of campers is excellent with many of them being families and no loud and raucous party goers which is quite rare but suits us nicely.
The main attraction of the camping ground is the hot mineral pools which includes a pool just for us big kids, but there is so much more to enjoy including the estuary with a great little park for a spot of cricket and popular Waihi surf beaches only a short drive away.
The covered BBQ and dining area next to the kitchen offers a fantastic spot to eat or to meet up with other campers for a chat and is also the dance floor every new years eve party with a live D.J. In a normal setting it would be a bit like a school disco but as part of the summer camping thing with a few beers and plenty of families its kind of a highlight.
There is a laundry on the premises and if you don’t feel like eating out, the communal kitchen is equipped with anything you might need to prepare a meal. The games room and library are great places to spend some time and at the park entrance you’ll find a playground for the children.
There are two ablution blocks at Athenree Hot Springs and Holiday Park so there are plenty of showers (no charge!) and toilets available for our guests, along with hairdryers, hand-dryers and full length mirrors. There are also Motel Units and Deluxe Chalets which have their own bathrooms and toilets and all have SKY TV. All communal facilities are kept clean and checked regularly.
We love our summer holiday at Athenree that we pre booked for 5 years, you can’t get much more kudos than that.
