Recognising Excellence across Aotearoa

TOP of the bunch!

Every year, TOP 10 Holiday Parks get recognised at the TOP 10 Annual Awards evening. However, throughout the year, TOP 10 Holiday Parks from around Aotearoa New Zealand are nominated for awards throughout the motu/country. We know that TOP 10's are some of the best, so it's especially rewarding to see entities outside of the TOP 10 franchise recognise the mahi that TOP 10'ers put in day and night to provide fantastic holidays, foster great workplace environments and build awesome, locally owned businesses.
