Helpful Hints & Tips

Activities

To make planning your holiday as easy as possible, activity bookings will open 12 weeks from the start of your holiday, in line with restaurant bookings.

You’ll be able to make your bookings via the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience and will be able to book both free and paid for activities.

Activity bookings can also be made once you arrive on park, however due to limited capacity, we’d always recommend booking in advance to ensure you get everything you’re after!

Please note, whilst we have a lot of free activities for you to get stuck into, some of our activities do require a small additional charge to book.

Arrival day activities 

If you want to book activities for your arrival day, this can be done seven days before your arrival date. Once within the seven days, you'll be able to book activities from 1pm. Please note, you’ll also be able to book activities for your first day via theActivity Booking Point on park once you’ve checked in (subject to availability).

Activities are only available to our Holiday guests, Private Let guests who have purchased a Play Pass and our owners. Please bring your Play Pass or Privilege Card with you.

Arrival

Please see the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience 7 days before arrival for your allocated check-in time.

Arriving late: please let us know on haven.com/experience when you get your allocated arrival time. We will then know to expect you later.

Arcade

The bright lights and excitement of our arcade awaits for all guests to enjoy. Our machines take cash so pick out all the loose change from behind the sofa before coming! Don’t worry if you don’t have spare pennies, we have machines to change money for you, so you’ll soon be playing.

Barbecues

Get your sizzle on in safety. Please keep barbecues away from holiday homes, verandas and the external gas bottles. They must also be elevated and please use a non-disposable barbecue. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.

Bars and restaurants

We have three venues for wining or dining: the Mash and Barrel restaurant and the Live Lounge entertainment venue are both in the main complex, and the Seagulls entertainment venue is in the Seagulls centre. You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven app or via haven.com/experience 12 weeks before your holiday or by visiting the restaurant once on park. There will be no table bookings in entertainment venues and tables will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Buses

All aboard! There’s a bus stop outside the main park entrance. For bus routes, please ask at Reception.

Car parking

Our grassy areas are important to us. Please avoid parking on them and use the dedicated space next to, or near your holiday accommodation. Please also be considerate of your neighbours too. We have Blue Badge spaces in the main complex for those who need them.

Cash machines

We have free-to-use cash machines in the main complex area. You can get cashback at the Mini Market and all of the bar areas (minimum spend applies).

Checking out

Don’t go just yet! But if you have to, please remember check out is by 10am. Please leave your keys at the Gatehouse on departure. Please remember to return your hire goods. Items booked online can be left in the holiday home and refunds will be made to the card used for payment. Items hired on park need a cash deposit and on departure the items will need to be returned to Reception where your deposit will be returned.

Child safety

We can’t give you eyes in the back of your head, but we can give you a brightly coloured wristband for little ones, in case they wander off. Come and see us at Reception and we’ll add your contact details to it.

Direct beach access

We have beach access right here on the park: walk straight to the bottom of the park, past the swimming pool, and you can’t miss it. There is a RNLI lifeguarded beach (3 July – 5 September 10am – 6pm) nearby at Great Yarmouth beach.

Dogs

We’re fond of dogs on park and most breeds are welcome, just keep them on a lead at all times. Dogs are allowed on the beach all-year round. There is a designated dog walking area and a Bark Yard, an obstacle course for dogs. Guide and service dogs are welcome inside our venues. We have bins around the park for cleaning up after your pet. Dogs are allowed on the restaurant terrace.

Driving

We’re strict about speed on park. Please stick to 10mph when you’re driving around.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging points

Unfortunately, we do not provide this service yet. You can charge your car nearby at Tesco, Caister Village.

Emergencies

If you have an emergency, please call 999 and then our Reception and Security teams. This way we can direct them straight to you and come to your aid while you wait. If it’s not an emergency but you’d still like help, please call our Reception on 01493 728 931 or our Security team on 07957 570889 as we have trained first-aiders on the park. Out-of-hours, please call our Security team.

Hire goods

For a small charge, we have to hire: bed guards, highchairs, pushchairs, travel cots and irons, subject to availability and a £10 deposit for each hire good item. We recommend you book in advance of arrival through your My Haven account, to avoid disappointment, but if you haven’t please pop to Reception and we’ll check availability for you.

Lost property

If you’ve mislaid a pair of swimming trunks, or Ted the Bear has gone missing, pop into Reception and we’ll see if someone has handed them in for you. We keep all lost property for 14 days, so you have plenty of time to check.

Maintenance

We want your holiday to be tip-top. If you find any niggles when you arrive, please tell us straight away. Let us know if you don’t want a team member to come in if you’re not there, and please tell us if you have any dogs in your accommodation as we won’t be able to come in without you.

No luck finding the TV remote? You can operate it from the set itself.

Special requirements and accessibility

If you have any questions or have special requests please contact our Call Centre prior to booking, where we have specially trained advisors who can help with every aspect of your booking. They can discuss the suitability of the park. If you have any questions while on the park, please ask the Reception team.

Swimming

We know that swimming is one of our most popular activities, so we have done everything we can to ensure as many of our guests get a chance to swim as possible.

For indoor swimming, you can book slots before and during your stay. From four weeks before your break start date, you'll be able to pre-book up to 14 swim slots per holiday booking. You'll also be able to book more slots once you arrive on park, should capacity allow.

Each swim slot lasts for 60 minutes and can be booked on the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience. We're able to hold swim slots for up to 15 minutes, however if you fail to show after this time, the swim slot will be cancelled and given to another guest.

Takeaway

If you can’t have a takeaway on holiday, when can you? We have a Cook’s Fish and Chips and Papa John’s® on our park, just waiting for you to enjoy. Papa John’s® will also deliver directly to your accommodation if required. Whether you’re ordering for collection, delivery or to eat in, all takeaway orders can be made via My Haven app or haven.com/experience.

Terrain

The park is mainly flat.

Tourist information

If you’re looking to explore the area, find a cracking local restaurant, or discover a nearby hidden gem, our Reception team can offer tips, advice, and recommendations. We have a QR code Attractions Poster in Reception too.

Towels

Own up, who forgot to pack the towels? It’s okay, we provide towels (1 hand and 1 bath towel per person) in our Silver, Gold and Signature grade accommodation or you can hire some from Reception for a small charge and deposit.

Upgrades

You will need to arrange any upgrade prior to receiving your arrival time. Please contact the park and they will be happy to discuss upgrade options with you.

Visitors

To maximise the opportunity for guests to access the swimming pools, activities, entertainment venue and restaurants included in their holiday package, all holidaymakers visiting our parks must be included on a valid holiday booking. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity on our parks to allow our guests to bring visitors to our parks.

WiFi

Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in all our main venues/facilities. Unfortunately, we do not have WiFi in accommodation. The My Haven Experience app works on Wifi and 4G, however if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point. No Wifi available in holiday homes.
