The best views in the North

This is my favourite place to stay when up North. The views are unmatched! Perfect cottage for when we need a break from the pace of the city. We will be back many more times.

Wonderful view

The property is wonderfully nice, well appointed and very relaxing. The view sitting on the deck or even just in the lounge with the door open is like living in a postcard.

Worth the Drive

A wonderful, well-designed property in a setting that is hard to describe. The view from the bedroom and from the living room was stunning. Our host was great! A very interesting family history and excellent communication. Fascinating local history and just a short drive from Kauri Walks we would stay here again without hesitation.

Clean, modern and tidy

The photos in this listing doesn't do it justice - its much better in real life. Thr property is well maintained, clean and tidy. Close to the town and walking distance to the beach. Awesome location and spot to get away.

Absolutely Gorgeous

The guest house was modern and comfortable with everything we needed. But the property and the views were positively stunning! We never tired of sitting outside with a beverage and just enjoying the beautiful scenery. The owner was super friendly as was her sweet pup. Convenient for scenic walks, Waipoua Forest, and just relaxing. Must also recommend the Kotare coffee shop for breakfast or lunch.

Short and definitely sweet

This place makes relaxing so easy. With stunning views of Hokianga Harbour, surrounded by beautiful gardens and lawns, rest and recuperation are certainly on the cards. The unit itself is immaculately presented, with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. A pleasure to linger in as well as to return to at the end of a long day of activities in the Hokianga. We will return to enjoy again some day, and maybe possibly for a longer period of time.

A charming bach with a stunning view

Omapere is not on the main drag but if you're not short of time, the remarkable views of the Heads, the karri forests and the Manea cultural centre are well worth staying 1 or more nights. The bach is perched on a hill above the town & has everything you need. Local hosts, Kelly & Jennifer, have made it very homely & neighbourly and are very responsive to your needs. Internet connection can be patchy due to remoteness. Thank you! Susan & Geoff

3 night getaway.

Spacious and comfortable with well equiped kitchen. We borrowed our host’s BBQ which made evening meals easy. Wifi was very weak so we relied on phone data. Great position - with walks and interesting museums nearby. Would love to return.
