Blue Lake TOP 10 is the perfect home away from home for you and your family to relax and unwind.

A tiny gem

Reviewed By barj8

A small but beautifully crafted space with everything you might need for a holiday. Although it can only sleep three, there are 6 or more mugs, plates etc, which enabled us to host extras for dinner. The hot pool was such a treat! The staff were friendly and helpful and the beautiful beach is only a 2 min walk away.

Not recommended, won't be back

Reviewed By Haydn555

First time back in 20 odd years,, used to enjoy staying here frequently.. Pools are great, everything else needs work. A bit of a clean would help. Arrived at the start of a long weekend before the place got busy and the shared shower/toilet block was already in a filthy state. Look like they haven't been cleaned or maintained in months, with thick layers of dust and flaking paint. Don't want to think about the matted hair and what looked like old blood and snot stains on the shower walls. Missing bench seat in one shower, with rusty bent brackets remaining. The list goes on...... won't be back..

Waiteti Trout Stream Holiday Park

A Bit Sad

Reviewed By Adrienne F

We stayed one night in an old self contained unit. Unit smelt on entry, net curtains had rips in them, shower had hair on the wall and bottom. Coffee mug was not clean, had dried dregs and the cutlery was sticky. Remote did not work and dust on the cabinet, I did not point this out to the proprietor. However the bed was comfortable even thou broken. The grounds in general is pretty down by the stream and can accommodate a number of people. The units at the front of the complex looked to be better.

We found this site completely by mistake after being told we could not stay at the Opotiki holiday park as we had a 8 week old puppy and hadn’t sought approval from management. We asked if there were any other camp sites around but were told No!!!! Luckily for us Google pointed us here to Island View a stunning little campground with lively staff beautiful amenities and dead smack on the beach. The owner went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed 8 week puppy and all, I can not highly enough recommend this campground to anyone seeking out a totally non stressed holiday away.
