Mahia Beach Resort (formerly Mahia Beach Motel & Holiday Park), is proud to announce the completion of a three-month refurbishment. The iconic holiday destination officially reopened its doors over Labour Weekend last year, just in time for the summer season.
The resort has undergone significant upgrades across its grounds, accommodations, and communal spaces. The refurbishments included a fresh new look for the reception and café area, along with modern updates to the rooms, ensuring an enhanced experience for guests. The upgrade process took around three to four months, with a focus on revitalising both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the site.
The Mahia Beach Resort has been operating under the leadership of a completely new team. This includes the recent addition of three new staff members who have joined the resort’s café, which opened in December, bringing fresh service and new offerings for guests.
Joining us at the reception is the charming Doreen Solomon, who brings a warm smile and a wealth of experience to our front desk. Doreen is passionate about ensuring every guest feels at home and is eager to share her local knowledge of the area’s hidden gems. Her husband, Hori Solomon, is also part of our team, working as a part-time caretaker. With a keen eye for detail, Hori ensures that our grounds are always looking pristine and welcoming.
In addition to Doreen and Hori, we’re excited to introduce Clem Schollum, our skilled on-site carpenter, who has a real talent for crafting beautiful spaces. Clem is focused on improving the park’s facilities, ensuring that everything is both practical and visually appealing. We’re also lucky to have Alice Hinemataura Solomon and Penelope Maraia Whaanga, two local wahine from Māhia, as our wonderful cleaners. They bring warm, and a friendly energy to the team. Together, this fantastic crew is dedicated to delivering an unforgettable experience at Mahia Beach Holiday Park.
Aayden Clarke, Kaihautū of Tātau Tātau Commercial Limited Partnership, says the revamped Mahia Beach Resort saw a significant number of bookings over the summer season, reflecting the high demand for a stay at this popular destination.
“We’ve invested in upgrades that will improve the guest experience while keeping the heart and spirit of the resort alive. This project reflects our long-term vision for the future of the resort, which will continue to serve as an affordable and accessible destination for visitors from around New Zealand and beyond,” he said.
