Meet your TOP 10 family

We’re a passionate, family-focused team

Ōhope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park has been operating for over 40 years and run by the Smith whānau since 2021. Having previously owned holiday parks in Waihi Beach, Ian and Vicki Smith made the move to Ōhope and encouraged the rest of the family to come and enjoy what the region has to offer.

Today, the park’s General Manager is daughter Aimee, while son-in-law Cormac and son Daniel are Operational Managers. Accounts and Marketing is also run in-house, with daughter Megan at the reins. Together, they ensure the park remains a place other families can enjoy for years to come.

New Zealand’s most loved beach

Known as the seaside playground of the Eastern Bay of Plenty, it's not surprising that Ōhope Beach has been voted as New Zealand's best beach by both the AA Traveller and Green Party poll.

Located within the Whakatane district, the “Sunshine Capital of New Zealand”, we’ve been a quintessential Kiwi holiday destination for generations. With 11km of golden sand, small rolling waves and safe swimming, what's not to love!  Come and find out what the fuss is about at Ōhope Beach TOP 10.

After driving through many times we had the great fortune to stay for 4 nights . The camp ground was so peaceful clean and tidy . Everyday a little army of workers were out gardening and tidying . The view from our cabin was magical . Highly recommend.

Lovely clean place to camp in our caravan come most years and the beach front sites are just perfect along with the swimming pool.Customer service is wonderful the young lady at the front desk was very nice to deal with I would highly recommend visiting this campground it never fails to disappoint. I went with my husband, daughter and 4 year old grand son.

This place is amazing! I havent enjoyed a holiday park as much as I enjoyed this one. The staff are amazing. The facilities are clean and tidy, which for myself is a must. There are fantastic facilities for kids ie tv room and games room. The pool is great! And heated! The 2 bedroom unit we stayed in was well equipped with everything you need, no need to pack up half of your own kitchen from home. And a minute walk to a beautiful beach. Thankyou Ohope top 10, definately my top 10 now and hopefully in the future.
