Overview
Hot Water Beach TOP 10 is a Premium TOP 10 park on Taiwawe Lane, about 700 m from Hot Water Beach. It has been family-owned since 2008.
Its location is the draw. You can walk to the beach to dig a hot pool, and Cathedral Cove is about 10 minutes' drive away.
Digging your own hot pool
Hot springs rise through the sand at Hot Water Beach, so you can dig a pool for about two hours either side of low tide. Bring a spade and check the tide times before you go. Outside that window, the sea covers the hot sand.
Who it suits
- Families who want heated pools at camp and a famous beach a short walk away
- Couples using it as a base for Cathedral Cove and Hahei
- EV drivers, but note it has trickle charging only, so plan fast charging elsewhere
Dogs
Dogs are allowed on sites only, and not in peak season or on public holidays. If you're travelling with a dog in January, look elsewhere.
