Alexanders Holiday Park

Hotel

Very rude man who rang regarding the low review my husband gave on booking. Com. Came off as aggressive. Husband stayed there and there was slime in the bathroom and a pubic hair in the shower. Told us not to go back again and we definitely won’t! Look at yourself — if you get angry and aggressive toward guests the word will get out that you aren’t a very nice person. Replied on the review that we were lying! Why would we lie?
Just make sure you clean those showers properly next time.

Train going through overhead. Nice walks. Close to town.

Lovely and quiet good facilities and excellent hosts.

Nice people and clean and tidy.

Great holiday park. Will be back in the summer. Very affordable.

You get what you pay for. No complaints really, it is what it is.

A wildlife doorstep and sanctuary, complete with a glimps of yesterday today, great facilities away from the hustle and bustle. Awesome Kiwi Hospitality where great memories are forged!

Booked by phone and arrived at 11pm after a 8 hour drive only to find that linen was not provided but available for hire which we were not made aware of at time of booking. Office was obviously already closed so we had a very cold night. Heater is on a timed button so will only stay on for few minutes. Very squeaky and VERY uncomfortable bunk beds. Overall lacking service and facilities. Would never stay here again. Reply to owners comment: We booked under my wifes name and contrary to what you say we were NOT told the place came with no linen at any point. Even in budget accommodation, basic customer service is expected. I would have happily paid for the hire of linen if I had been told.

Nice little camping ground, friendly owner and reasonable prices. Hot showers are free, Wi-Fi isn't but you can buy 10gb 24hrs for $5. Kitchen is fine, lot of cuttlery and cooking equipment. At first we were a bit worried about being right next to the railway, but there wasn't many trains and we got to see the beautiful touring steam train during the day. Didn't wake us up at night. Nice little walk to get into town from the tentsites. Close to town and good for staying the night before or after getting on the ferry.

I would have rather stayed somewhere else if it wasn't too late. Way too many people cramped into a small space. Had a little problem with someone who lived their regularly as we were told to cram into whatever space they had left. Internet service is separate. Had better toilets, showers, and other facilities in other parks in New Zealand. So would have to say I was disappointed.

Very tidy budget accommodation. Hosts very good. Has rail bridge over top on which trains operate.

Clean and tidy, except for train bridge which goes above camping area. Very noisy early morning.

Booked a cabin happy for us to pitch a tent as well to have some space from the kids.

The couple that run the campsite in the owner's absence were very friendly upon our arrival and throughout our visit. However, once the owner returned, unfortunately he came across a bit rude, at one point walking into the kitchen and audibly sighing whilst going around tidying, which was a bit uncomfortable. On the couple of times I spoke to him, he did not really exude friendliness either. Having said this, the campsite is lovely, with some great facilities (a bit dated, but nevertheless very good). There was a kitchen with loads of hobs and all the utensils ans some cheap washing machines and tumble dryers, a T. V/. Room and hot showers, all very clean and relatively well maintained. The site itself was lovely and very picturesque. There is a train track on a viaduct running through the site, which did not disturb us at all and the location was a 15 minute walk into the town centre. Good grass coverage on the tent pitches too! A very reasonably priced site given all it's pluses! Would highly recommend.

Got there late at night beceause of the ferry, The owner kept harassing us beceause of the checkout (not there yet) and then when we paid he added some fees for one of us. He also told us that one of us (a women) ran away without paying while we were just men. Than came back saying that our friend ran away again while he was in his tent. Really bad and awkward experience. He finally took a picture of our license and ran away. Such a weird and insulting fellow.

Awersome place to stay. Great ppl.

No one at the office from 8PM until 7AM at least. Trains went by on the overhead rails around 2100, 2300 and 0600 hours. The glow worms were cool. There were not many people there.

All you need before going back to or coming from north island. The only con is thar you must pay for Wi-Fi. Rather have it included.

Very basic and old fashioned facilities, but good value for money, and handy to everything. I stayed in one of the old train carriages, which was cool. Comfortable bed, and I could hear the stream behind it.

Super outdated. No worth the money.

We stayed at a lot of Holiday Parks during our time in New Zealand, and this is probably the only one we wouldn't stay at again. The train tracks going right over our site was disruptive to sleep, and it was the only unfriendly service experience we had our entire vacation. Facilities were all right, but overall experience was not great.

Rented a cabin here, we got a 5-person cabin for just 2 persons! As we had to pack the suitcases because we did not take the car from Wellington to Picton, it was good to have this spacious cabin to sort everything out again for our trip. The parking spaces aside the cabins are quite small, it two neighbors both have a 4WD at their disposal, one of them probably has to find another parking spot. Did not use much of the facilities; but the shower is very simple. For those who like to see big trains, there is a train bridge over the park which is just by trains getting and taking cargo to and from the harbor. Take into account that this could cause some noise, but we slept through (although a few trains passed).

I stay regularly at this camp in my bus The present camp owners are to be congratulated on the improvements to the grounds and the new bright and clean paintwork. The showers are always hot. Sometimes I have camped near or in the bush and other times on a sunny site with views to watch the trains. They are fascinating as they cross the viaduct bridge. The owners have been obliging and have stored my van in the camp while I have travelled over seas. They will also store bikes and gear while visitors do the Marlborough Walk. The bonus for me is that I have been allowed to have my dog in the camp. Responsible dog owners are welcome. The supermarket Is just 5 min walk through the bush alongside the stream.
