As the only campervan stop near Matamata choices are limited. The staff are quite friendly and helpful, but the facilities in general need a complete face lift. They are cleaned, but in my opinion not very well. The shower block had mould growing around the trims, and the paint work is flaking everywhere. Flys falling dead in the kitchen and... More

This is the 6th year of staying at opal hot springs and we find it great! George and Rachel in their second year of running it have really made it a top place to camp. George went above and beyond to play with and entertain the kids, he is outstanding and they all cant wait to head back there next... More

We have stayed here twice now. It is really nice to be able to go somewhere and know it will be relaxing for us adults and fun for the kids. This camp is clean and safe but not precious. I am not worried that the children will hurt themselves and I am not stressed that they will break anything. The... More

A fantastic 11 night stay (10 nights tenting, 1 night in cabin) with our 3 children. George and Racheal make this the true 'kiwi summer camping experience' kids will remember forever! Their efforts and enthusiasm that all their visitors have a 'happy stay', along with the qualities of the pools will ensure our return next year, not to mention the... More

This is the fourth time that we have camped at Opai Springs. Since the camp has been under new management by George and Rachel, we have noticed some wonderful changes to the facilities. They have obviously been working hard to update the facilities as well as the quality of service to their customers. The site is a bit dated in... More

We visited Opal Springs for a pitch for our camper van. It is a wonderful small camp site that steps right out of the 1960s at you and still has a charm that makes it a pleasure to visit. No, it is not modern, nor impeccable but actually it is a pleasure to visit and meet the enthusiastic owner George.... More

A party of 2 campervans. Very dated facilities, quite the worst I have seen in NZ, not exactly dirty, but not clean either, and lack detail such as plugs for handbasins. Wouldn't want to be there in high season.
