Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park 1 Athenree Road, Athenree, Waihi Beach, Bay of Plenty 3177

"First time here and loved it. We took our 2 year old grandson, it was perfect. He loved the pool, and we loved how close it is to every thing. We also went on a train ride from Waihi great fun. Our cabin was lovely, nice bed, really looked after property. Will be back."

"We had a fantastic stay over the weekend. The cabin were we stayed was cozy and comfortable. Shared facilities were beyond expectations and spotless. Kitchen has everything you would need including bbq. The place overall was extremely quite and scenic. It is truely a value deal, not to forget the hot pools! It would have been great if the hot pools are open till late during winter times. It closes at 7:30pm and opens at 8:30 in the morning. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help to the guests. Highly recommended!"

"We rented a Motel unit which far exceeded our expectations. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, our own bathroom, and it was all very clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the kids loved the hot pool! We would highly recommend Athenree HSHP for your next camping holiday."

"We had a fantastic stay here during the school holidays! The facilities were simple, but clean, and good value for money. The only disappointment was the missing air hockey table!! Which has been replaced with ping pong which was still fun! Thanks so much to the very friendly and welcoming staff, we would happily recommend this venue :-)"

"We had a fabulous time at Athenree Hot Springs and Holiday Park. Grant was cheerful and helpful, especially when we got stuck in a soft section of grass and we had to be pulled out. Additionally, he accommodated us in a lovely location for our second to last night in New Zealand, and was enthusiastic about the continued improvements to the park in general after we commented how phenomenal we thought it was. Seriously, the small attention to detail makes all the difference and this place has nailed it. There are custom poster boards with their logo on the base, so you know they made them personally, providing information about local birds, park etiquette, and general information. They are all fabulous. There are wee towels to wipe down surfaces when you are done in the bathroom and kitchen, so you always come into a clean dry environment, that is if the person before has read the instructions! The pools themselves were lovely to soak in, and, although not following the directions, it was nice to see so many kids having fun in the big pool. We also utilised the kitchen and the amenities were excellent. Kids were having fun on the trampoline, and driving karts around on the pathways, and it seemed that everyone was having a good time at Athenree. The only possible improvement, and nothing really to do with Athenree itself, would be some kind of walking access to the beach. So, in a nutshell, on our next trip from Canada, we would deliberately head to Athenree rather than stumble into it as we did this time. Fabulous."
