The history, the forests, the beaches, the harbour remain largely unknown to most New Zealanders. Yet Hokianga offers what so many people seek, the wide open spaces, tranquility, a dramatic and beautiful landscape relatively untouched by man. Admittedly, Hokianga will not suit the tourist who needs motels, restaurants, video games parlours and tour operators at every turn of the road. Yet visitors who can make their own holidays, and who appreciate unspoilt nature and relaxed country living, will find plenty to do and many places to explore in Hokianga. If you truly want to get away from it all, Hokianga may be the place for you. Special conditions: Smoking outside only No parties and no additional guests staying beyond those booked. No tents or additional overnight guests. No open fires.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$85.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Bach has a wonderful view and location is perfect, so close to everything. Host Sandra was easy to communicate with and kind enough to bring back items that got left behind.
The views were amazing from the deck. I was unsure on whether the photos were accurate. But they were. I really enjoyed my stay and it was such a close location to the wedding we were attending.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay, yes the views are accurate and amazing. Come again soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandra's bach. Despite visiting in a winter week with a lot of rain we found it hard to leave this fabulous place. Everything was sparkling clean and the information provided for local activities was excellent. Thank you so much!
