This resort has a lovely location with stunning river views and good facilities like a pool and jetty. However, I found the cleanliness of the campsite facilities to be quite lacking, and the rooms left a bit to be desired regarding upkeep. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but improvements are needed for overall maintenance and hygiene.

My stay at Haruru Falls Resort had its ups and downs. The setting is beautiful, with lovely views of the falls, and the amenities for kids are fantastic. However, the rooms were quite basic and housekeeping was a bit hit or miss. I appreciated the value for money, but the overall service could use some improvement.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this campsite right by the water, with stunning views of the waterfalls. The campsite was clean and well-maintained, and despite being busy with fishing crews, it was surprisingly quiet. However, the noise from the waterfalls at night could be a bit loud, but I managed to sleep well with earplugs. Overall, it was a fantastic weekend getaway with great facilities.
