Tasman Holiday Parks – Hahei Beach

Tasman Holiday Parks – Hahei Beach

8/10 Good
"We were only there for the night so we didn't have time to enjoy the facilities. It was a surprise to find that 5.30pm was considered "late" check-in! But we managed to get checked in, so all good. Basic room but practical. Unfortunately, the plates were not cleaned properly, so we had to wash the plates and cutlery before using. Wonderfully close to the beach. We wished we had time to enjoy what it had to offer. But we left at 6.00am the next morning, so no time to enjoy."
