No refunds will be given to guests checking out of the Park early, including due to weather disruptions.

If you have booked through a third party – please refer to your booking confirmation email for the cancellation terms that apply to your booking.
Group Bookings
We reserve the right to charge a bond to all groups, refundable after departure if all rules are adhered to.
Reservations are a contract between Rotorua Blue Lake TOP 10 Holiday Park and the person named on the reservation and is not transferable to any other person. This means that the named person must occupy the roofed accommodation/site booked for the duration of the contract and is ultimately responsible for all occupants and visitors.
For group bookings this means one person is ultimately responsible/liable for groups behaviour and damage. Amendments to confirmed group bookings may incur a $35.00 admin fee, per change.
Group Deposits and Cancellations
A 50% deposit is required within 7 days to secure your booking.
In the event of a cancellation:
- Deposits will be refunded 60 days prior to arrival, minus a $50 cancellation fee per unit/site.
- 50% of the deposit is refundable between 60-30 days prior to arrival.
- Full balance is due 30 days prior to arrival and is then completely non-refundable.
- We also have a no refund policy once checked in.
Group bookings are considered to be four or more units/sites booked together.
