Bonnie Doon - Cooks Beach Holiday Home

We spent a couple of days at cooks beach resort while on holiday, after family and friends recommended it. It's in a prime spot, near a few shops and places to eat, down the road from the beach, and a five-minute drive to the ferry. Whitianga is just a five-minute ferry ride away, and getting across and back was cheap and easy. It's a very large place with pools and spas, plus communal showers and toilets. Our place also had its own private bathroom. I'd definitely recommend booking here.

We had a great weekend, staying in three cabins for two nights. The resort was impressively clean and well maintained, and the kitchen and BBQ areas worked well for our group. The beach, general store, and Shakespeare Lookout are all a short walk away. Big thanks to Callum and Fenella for being so welcoming and helpful. If you want a clean, family-friendly place at Cooks Beach, this is it!

We stayed on a powered site for camper vans. Everything was very clean, and the toilet and cooking facilities were excellent. There's also a pool and spa. Shops are about a five-minute walk away, and the beach is around fifteen minutes on foot. We came at the end of February, outside prime season, and had no trouble booking the night before. Highly recommended.

We stayed over New Year's and had such a fun time that we're bringing the whole family back next year. The campground is ideally located near the beach and Whitianga Ferry. After dinner, the adults-only spa was a perfect way to unwind. Highly recommend!
