ラッセル - Orongo湾ホリデーパーク(Russell-Orongo Bay Holiday Park)

Very friendly managers, always feels comfortable going there and all around awesome place for kids and dogs

Der Holiday-Park ist an der Zufahrtsstraße nach Russel ganz gut gelegen. Man muss allerdings noch 5 Minuten bis zur Ortschaft fahren. Russel selbst ist eine tolle kleine Ortschaft, welche auch schöne Strände bietet. Der Holiday-Park hat einen Pool und mehrere Außensitzbereiche, die ganz nett sind. Ein Teil der Cabins hat auch Außenbestuhlung mit Tisch, sowie ein Lounge-Ei. Die Cabins wurden über den Tag unerträglich heiß. Erst am Abend war die Luft darin zu ertragen. Lüften war nur schwer möglich, da man keinen Durchzug herstellen konnte. Da half auch der Ventilator nicht viel. Die weiteren Einrichtungen wie Küche, Innen-Gemeinschaftsbereich und Bad sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und benötigen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Dort sollte man nicht allzu viel erwarten. Die Grundausstattung ist aber gegeben. Da die Unterkunft auf Tankwasser-Versorgung angewiesen ist, gab es bei uns den Zwischenfall, dass wir für 2-3h kein Wasser hatten, bis wir die Inhaber informiert haben. Das Internet ist auf 500MB pro Tag pro Device limitiert, was uns etwas störte. Der Park will hier zusätzlich Geld verdienen und verkauft Datenpässe.

Overall I wish this place was good. The location and the nature surrounding it were incredible however the holiday park had several short comings. To keep it short - water pressure in shower was a trickle at best - Kitchen was filthy and the freezer had been recently emptied and food was left out on the side to defrost/stink out. - Morning of check out there was no water in the whole camp and no explanation from any staff as to why.

The location was great, listening to the kiwis and moreporks at night. This accommodation has potential but is not reaching it. Self contained unit #142 which was our room sleeps up to 4 but only has 2 glasses and 1 wine glass, no face cloths and plenty of ants in the kitchen and bathroom. The door doesn't lock from the outside so we took all our valuable possessions with us when tiki touring. Informed the owners and were told they knew about it but said there is no theft there. When we said we weren't happy not being able to lock our accommodation the owner said he'd come and put a deadbolt on the door, but he never came. Really poor service.

We stayed at the Orongo bay holiday park over summer and were really happy with the friendliness and service. Holly went out of her way to make us feel welcome and gave us special assistance to make sure our stay was comfortable. It was great being in the bush and being able to hear the birds including Kiwi at night. We enjoyed the kiwi trail but unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to do it at night. Thanks for the great stay.

We had a very pleasant stay at the holiday park. It's in a lovely location where you can walk around in the bush or by mangroves across the road. It was easy to drive into the main area in Russell and beaches nearby approx. 5-10 min by car. We made use of the kitchen facilities in the cabin also.

Staffs doing a great job, with the few staff they have. Welcoming environment, got upgraded at the last minute, no extra charge. Puppy loved her stay, big area great for walking.

Very nice and helpful staff. Just 5 minutes away from both of the ferries. Cottage was cozy and clean.

Wonderful welcoming staff who managed to upgrade us at last minute. Nothing too much trouble. Facilities clean and tidy. Lovely stay.
