Steve Staines said they only had to travel 15 minutes to their destination.
And as well as enjoying plenty of relaxation and swimming, the fishing exceeded their wildest dreams, they said.
Mr Staines said he'd never known the fishing to be so good.
"We set the net and we're hauling in huge catches of lemon fish, kahawai and snapper ... just magnificent."
A large marquee was being set up in the middle of the ground to welcome in 2013 with a Hawaiian theme.
"We'll all be there. Don't know about the Hawaiian theme, though," Mr Staines said.
