Fun for the Kids!

During our stay, the children's playground was a highlight for my family. The kids loved the trampoline and the variety of activities available. It was reassuring to see a place where they could play freely and safely, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together. We felt it was a fantastic family-friendly environment.

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool at North South Holiday Park was an absolute delight. After a long day of exploring, we were grateful to have a nice spot to cool off. The atmosphere was relaxing, and plenty of loungers were available to unwind. It was the perfect way to end a summer day.

Great Entertainment Options

I was impressed with the game's room that featured a large DVD collection. It was a perfect way to enjoy some family time after a day out. The kids especially enjoyed picking out different movies to watch together, making our evenings even more special.

I had a wonderful stay at the park hotel with my family. The backpacker cabin we stayed in was clean and offered great value for the price, with all necessary amenities provided. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were well-maintained, and my kids thoroughly enjoyed the playground. However, the shower could be improved, as it fluctuated between ice cold and scalding hot. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, especially for budget travelers.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the staff was incredibly helpful and made me feel welcomed, while the room I stayed in was clean and had all the essentials for a cozy experience. However, the cabin was a bit cramped and had a musty odor that was hard to ignore. Additionally, the lack of convenient water taps near the cabins was a bit inconvenient during my stay. Overall, there were some solid positives, but there were definitely areas that could use improvement.

We chose to stay at North South primarily for its convenient location away from the chaos of Christchurch. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable, though we did encounter a few minor issues. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, which added to our positive experience. While the air conditioning had some problems and the decor felt a bit hastily done, we really enjoyed our time there and appreciated being in a pet-friendly environment.
