Its a great shame that you can not go prawn fishing anymore but hopefully with the great work they are doing it will get back on track. This didn't spoil the experience, recommend taking the guided tour only last 30 mins but well worth seeing all the work that goes on behind the scenes at no extra cost. Peddle boats are great. Take the guided path around and it will take you around all the water activitys kids loved them. Feed the rainbow trout. At the end the restaurant is a must the prawns were fantastic perfectly cooked. Think that park just needs a spruce a little and a few more updated water activities to compensate for the loss off fishing
Interesting experience. The restaurant is located at the entrance of the park so no ticket is needed to go into the restaurant. It is located next to Huka lake with beautiful view at their outdoor seats. You can also see jet boat play it's tricks with the tourists. Unfortunately, no prawn fishing is available. Tried their prawns which were very fresh. They also sell uncooked prawns if interested. Personally, I would prefer to buy uncooked ones instead of dining in.
Very disappointed, only three options for prawns?? The crumbed cutlets over cooked and apparently in short supply. I’ve had better from the supermarket freezer. The small side salad was really just that, drowned in dressing and the best part of the dish was the sweet chili sauce and I’m not really a fan!!. The wine arrived when the meal was almost finished as well. Tourist prices were the bitter icing on the cake. Won’t be back.
L’endroit est magnifique avec une jolie vue sur la rivière. C’était jour férié et il y avait beaucoup de monde mais surtout des touristes. Mon amie et moi avons commandé un kilo de chevrette avec des frites et des nans. La nourriture est bonne et les Chevrettes sont énormes !!! Un régal si vous aimez ça
Just got take away prawns which were delicious but a bit too expensive.. the half kilo pretty much means 10 prawns when you clean it so about 4 dollars per uncooked, on the shell prawn. The cafe looks like a great place for a drink, nice ambience but not enough food options. Realistically the place opened at 10, not 9.Visited onPublic holidayWait time10–30 min
Nice experience, nice staff, but has definitely seen better days. Most of the "Prawn" experience is no longer available beside the restaurant and growth facilities. We'd come back again when the park is up and running better.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo
Very fun activity park. There is a good variety of activites from little walks to water rides. Almost all of the activies are water themed so particularly for the kids having spare clothes or togs on would be recomended. However in saying that it isnt a water park and there are no swimming zones. The little pond with the boats and trikes etc was quite good fun and without queues you can jump from boat to boat trying them all. It was surprisingly un busy which made the experience all the more nicer. Pricing wasnt too bad however they make up for it at the cafe! Food was good at the cafe and the view was quite lovely but it is pricey.
We love our tour guide front desk for the day, we forgot to asked her name, she is so kind and sweet. And all the staff on the day. They are all lovely and so welcoming. And the lady whom I returned the life vest of my toddler, she end our day with a very lovely goodbye. For the staff of the resto, so amazing. The food, it's superb. Perfect place for the family. Food and fun 5 Surely, we will visit and spend our family time here again.
Pretty cool place ! I personally think the price is a little steep in winter since you can't really enjoy all the water features. Looks like an amazing place to come back when the weather is warmer though. Food is on the steep side too. We did a tour with a lady that was very nice and taught us alot of things that we didn't know about prawns. It was a cool experience feeding the baby ones too.
Regardless of not being able to fish for prawns. There is a lot of things to do. Our wee kids enjoyed themselves running around the park and doing all the activities. The cafe has a lovely big fire pit in the middle. Meals sizes were very generous, however I wished there was a bit more menu item options. Staff provided amazing service.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
