Refill NZ

In New Zealand, an estimated 828 million single-use plastic bottles are thrown away per year. That’s about 168 each, totalling 165 Olympic swimming pools! This all contributes to the plastic pollution in our oceans and even gets into the fish we eat.

Refill NZ aims to make refilling with tap water the new norm – by making free water more freely available.

Participating businesses have a Refill NZ sticker in their window – to show that they are a Refill station and you’re welcome to come on in and fill up your bottle – for free!

So, fill up your water bottles with some of our gorgeous H2O and lets reduce the amount of plastic pollution on our planet. You don’t even have to be staying in our Holiday Park, just call into reception and ask one of our friendly team where you can fill up your bottles. Bottoms up peeps!
