Mount Maunganui landslide

The landslide that has occurred at Mount Maunganui is an evolving situation.

We are on site and working with emergency services to gather more information and provide support.

What we know is that several people are unaccounted for. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by this event and their loved ones.

Right now, our priority is supporting our staff on the ground, emergency services and those affected as best we can.

Most people have been evacuated from the Mount Holiday Park. Our campground staff are prioritising working out which campgrounds sites have been affected. We are contacting all guests that have checked in and checked out.

We ask that the community please stay away from the area, including any customers who have a booking at Mount Holiday Park.

The campground is closed until further notice. Campground staff will be in touch directly with customers regarding their bookings shortly.
