The staff gave great assistance when our travel plans changed due to bad weather. We were very appreciative. A great stay for 3 Aussies who came to enjoy the onsite New Zealand National Rock & Mineral Show.

We had parking and a side view of the ocean. Weather didn’t cooperate-not a fault of the hotel.

Belt Road Seaside Holiday Park
Beautiful view of ocean and snowcapped mountains. One very strong recommendation would be to remove the big huge plant from right in front of our room. It blocked the view substantially.
