Ōpunakē Beach Holiday Park Guidelines

Our Holiday Park Guidelines are to ensure all Guests have an enjoyable holiday experience The guidelines are a balance between having a good time, respecting others and getting a good night’s sleep.

Barrier Arm:  Each vehicle requires a swipe card to enter. Do not use your card to let another vehicle in or out as this will de-activate your card. Your card will de-activate on the day of your departure. Ask at the Office if you require an extra card. 

BBQs: There are two gas BBQs for Guests’ use near the Park kitchen. Please clean up after use. You are welcome to bring your own gas BBQ. Open fires and/or charcoal BBQs are not permitted.

Beach Swimming: Adhere to the Life Guards when on duty and the beach signs. Swimming is safer in front of the Life Saving Club. – avoid swimming at the south end.

Behaviour & Conduct: Our Park is a shared environment. As such, you need to consider other Guests at all times. Any antisocial behaviour including illegal drug use, excessive alcohol consumption and excessive noise will not be tolerated. If your noise can be heard two campsites away, it is too loud. Quiet time is between 10.30pm and 7am. New Year’s Eve is 1am. Breach of these rules may result in you being required to leave the Park immediately and without refund.
