Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park  

On New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty at the northern end of Tauranga Harbour, Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park sits in Athenree — literally steps from Athenree Hot Springs and a short drive to Orokawa Bay and Martha Mine. This family-friendly, dog-friendly park (dogs allowed outside peak Christmas) is perfect for beach days, hot-pool soaks and exploring nearby reserves and murals.

Relax in a tranquil park setting under mature Puriri trees with native birdlife all around. Accommodation ranges from 2‑bedroom motel units and deluxe chalets to standard and dog‑friendly cabins, plus tent and campervan sites. Rooms and units are air‑conditioned and feature fridges and flat‑screen TVs, with some offering Freeview, SKY and Netflix and park or garden views.

Soak in two natural thermal mineral pools free for guests — silky, chemical‑free water with a continuous spring flow for bubble‑soothing relaxation. The park also offers a garden, arcade/game room, kids’ playrooms, picnic and barbecue areas, bicycle tour information and a television in a common area. Onsite conveniences include daily‑cleaned pools, laundry facilities, a microwave in the common area, complimentary newspapers in the lobby and free self‑parking.

Wireless internet is available for a surcharge; free self‑parking and laundry facilities add practical convenience for longer stays.
