I was having a bit of browse through the NZMCA app and found Athenree Holiday Park. We cruised into the entrance and popped into the reception. Well, what a welcome.. “You’re our 20000th customer, have a peppermint! ”
Fantastic. That doesn’t happen too often!

We’re parked right on the waterfront facing towards Katikati just up from Bowentown.

Our little park in paradise

They have two hot pools. One is directly fed by a bore that goes down 220 metres and the water comes up about 35c. They have another smaller adults pool which has the water tweaked up by a heat exchanger from waste water. It’s fantastic.. Nice and hot.

Nice big flat parks and with the pools, great.

Across the road is a kids playground and the other side of the peninsula. More water!

Home for a few days after this.
