Why a Pool is the Ultimate Holiday Upgrade
A swimming pool is more than just a place to cool off; it's the heart of holiday fun, connection, and relaxation. For Kiwi families, it’s a guaranteed source of entertainment and a place to make new friends in a safe, community environment. For couples and solo travellers, it’s a tranquil oasis for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
The convenience is unbeatable. Instead of packing up the car, you can enjoy a resort-quality amenity right on your doorstep. It’s no surprise that having a pool is one of the top features people search for when planning to travel. At TOP 10 Holiday Parks, we pride ourselves on creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere, and our parks with pools are the perfect example of this commitment.
Some Top Picks: TOP 10 Motels with Pools
Many of our 49 locally run parks across Aotearoa feature fantastic swimming pools. While you can find a wide range of motels and hotels in New Zealand, we think the combination of a private motel unit and vibrant park facilities is unbeatable. Here is a small sample of TOP 10's standout motels where the pool is a star attraction.
Cambridge TOP 10 Holiday Park
For a relaxing, resort-style escape in the heart of the Waikato, look no further than Cambridge TOP 10 Holiday Park. This peaceful, well-equipped park features a heated swimming pool, a soothing soak pool and a fun splash pad where younger guests can cool off and play. Just minutes from the charming town of Cambridge and around 1.5 hours from Auckland, it also makes an ideal base for exploring North Island favourites such as Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves and Hamilton Gardens. After a full day of sightseeing and family adventures, you can return to the park for a refreshing swim or a relaxing soak amid its spacious, picturesque grounds.
Ōhope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
Nestled in the sun-drenched Eastern Bay of Plenty, Ōhope Beach is consistently voted one of New Zealand's most loved beaches, and its TOP 10 Holiday Park is a classic Kiwi favourite. The park's sparkling swimming pool is a central hub of fun, providing the perfect way to cool off after a morning on the sand. The experience here is pure, relaxed beach holiday vibes. Staying in a comfortable motel unit gives you a perfect base to enjoy the sun, surf, and all the family-friendly fun our North Island parks are known for.
More Than Just a Pool: Your Home Away From Home
While a great pool is a fantastic drawcard, we know that comfortable accommodation is just as important. TOP 10’s motel units are designed to be your home away from home. You can expect self-contained convenience with your own private kitchen and bathroom, comfortable beds, and a relaxing living space.
This gives you the perfect balance: the independence of your own apartment combined with access to all the fantastic, shared facilities the holiday park offers. Of course, we also offer a wide range of other accommodation to suit every budget and travel style, from cabins to powered sites for campervans.
