This award is more than a recognition. It’s a reflection of the hard work of their team, their commitment to sustainability, and the care they put into making your stay special. Qualmark’s Sustainable Tourism Business criteria are officially recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), which means they're not only meeting New Zealand standards, but international ones too.
Alongside this, they're also delighted to have maintained the Four Star Plus Holiday Park rating, a mark of quality that ensures you can always expect a high standard of comfort, facilities, and service.
