A Bay of Plenty holiday destination with a growing list of accolades

Tucked away on the shores of the Tauranga Harbour, Athenree Hot Springs & Holiday Park is the kind of place that combines the simple pleasures of a New Zealand holiday with something a little different.

Guests can enjoy the natural hot pools, stay in a range of accommodation options and make the most of the park's relaxed setting, while being within easy reach of Waihi Beach and the wider Bay of Plenty.

It's a destination that has built a strong reputation over the years, and that reputation has been recognised through multiple industry awards.

In 2026, Athenree added another major achievement to the list, taking home the Supreme Industry Award.

More than just a place to stay

Athenree offers a range of accommodation to suit different types of visitors, from powered sites and camping through to cabins and other holiday accommodation.

But the appeal goes beyond somewhere to sleep.

The hot pools are a major part of the experience, giving guests the opportunity to relax and unwind during their stay. The park's location also makes it a useful base for exploring the wider area, including nearby Waihi Beach and the Coromandel.

For families, couples and holidaymakers looking for a quieter break, that combination of accommodation, facilities and location is a big part of what makes Athenree distinctive.

A destination people come back to

Holiday parks are built around the guest experience.

It's the welcome when you arrive, the quality of the facilities, the setting, the little details and the feeling you take away with you.

Athenree has continued to build on that experience over the years, creating a destination that attracts both new visitors and returning guests.

That consistency is reflected in the recognition the park has received from within the industry.

The latest Supreme Industry Award in 2026 adds to a collection of awards recognising the business and the experience it provides.

Keeping up with a changing business

Athenree isn't standing still either.

Like any tourism business, the park continues to change and develop. Accommodation and facilities evolve, information changes and visitors increasingly expect to be able to find everything they need online before they arrive.

The Athenree website has been part of that process.

Trigger Digital originally designed and built the website several years ago, and we've continued to work with the Athenree team as the site has evolved.

Rather than being something that was built and forgotten, the website continues to be updated with current information, imagery and content.

That means visitors can get a better picture of what Athenree offers before they book.

A website that reflects the experience

For a destination like Athenree, photography and presentation matter.

People want to see the pools, accommodation, grounds and facilities. They want to understand where the park is and what they can do when they get there.

The website brings these elements together, giving visitors a straightforward way to explore the park and find the practical information they need.

It's also designed to make it easy for the Athenree team to keep things current as the business changes.

Another award in 2026

Winning the 2026 Supreme Industry Award is a significant achievement for the Athenree team.

It is recognition of the business as a whole and the work that goes into creating a quality experience for its guests.

For Trigger Digital, it's also pleasing to see a website we've worked on for several years continuing to be part of that story.

But ultimately, the awards belong to Athenree.

The people, the facilities, the location and the experience are what bring visitors back.

Our job is simply to make sure the website does a good job of showcasing all of that.
