About this property

Wake up to a stunning view of Opononi Harbour

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.

Really nice experience.

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.
