What an awesome spot, thanks for sharing this little bit of paradise. Great garden and knowledge of local area. Driveway entry looks a bit sharp but we got in and out with our 8.5m 5th wheeler okay. Buckleton Beach nearby is an awesome spot for afternoon swim and shade under trees. Even managed some fish.

This certainly is a bit of paradise. Lovely and quiet with plenty of places to explore. Our hosts were so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend staying here. Hearing the Kookaburra sing first thing in the morning was fantastic. We will be back.

We were pretty zonked last night and this morning off to find a coffee and bakery in Matakana. Paradise Park was beautiful. We loved the quiet plus this morning the sun was glowing on the horizon as multiple birds sang. May hike Omaha Peninsula or head north. Serendipity rules our lives for 6 more days. Thanks for your hospitality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise Park. A level gravel site with a commanding view of Sandspit Harbor & Marina. Paradise Park is a unique campsite allowing only one self-contained camper at a time. Beautiful park-like setting with total dark skies, complete silence and solitude make this site perfect. No electric, water or sewer. There is an optional, at extra cost, Garden Room, available with a bathroom, shower, sitting area and small area with electric kettle and washing machine.

A lovely peaceful spot with beautiful views and nature all around. Anne was a wonderful host and we enjoyed the variety of bird life, lovely gardens and a swimming beach nearby. Great access and plenty of room. We will definitely stay again and might even take advantage of the nice self-contained Garden Room. Such a special place, many thanks.
