I had a very enjoyable stay at this campground, which is ideally located across from the water and just a short walk from town with plenty of shops and restaurants. The facilities were impressively clean and well-maintained, making our experience quite pleasant. However, I didn't have any major issues, but the atmosphere was a bit quiet, which might not suit everyone's taste.

We had a pleasant stay at Mercury Bay Holiday Park, with very clean accommodations and a fantastic location just a short walk from the beach and local amenities. The playground and small pool were definitely a plus for our family, making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, there were some maintenance issues and a lack of attention in certain areas that need addressing. Overall, it's a good value for money but could do with some improvements.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin unit with its lovely facilities. The managers were pleasant and helpful, and the location was perfect for a short walk to the Main Street area. The experience was marred a bit by some noise from a neighboring permanent resident, but overall, this spot is excellent for families looking to explore nearby attractions.

I had a really positive experience at the Mercury Bay Holiday Park. The cabins were comfortable enough for our one-night stay, and the campground was clean and quiet. I did find it a bit surprising that Wi-Fi came with an extra charge, but the convenience and helpfulness of the manager made up for it. Overall, it's a great spot for families looking for a nice getaway.

We had a wonderful five-night stay at the park, and our two-bedroom cabin was just perfect for our family. The kids loved the pool and playground, and we appreciated the easy walk into town for dining and the beach. While the bed comfort could use improvement, we would definitely return and recommend it to others for its great family-friendly atmosphere and value for money.
