What an extraordinary stay - I wish we could have stayed for weeks! Beautiful home in the most serene, remote location. Glorious views of sacred hills. Glow worms! Every need met. Loads of kitchen and cooking equipment, coffee, tea, milk, bread, jam, cereal, spices. Our hosts Candace and Rawiri were extremely cool - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful- and even treated us to a garden tour and mini-concert! Coincidentally, Candace attended the same high school as I - in San Diego California!

Everything, their gorgeous gardens, the shared kitchen and dining areas, the owners were a pleasure to meet and chat with. So hospitable! The breakfasts were terrific, fresh and delicious. The adjacent coffee & gift shop was delightful. Our room was very nice, and the bathroms were neat and clean. There was also a washing machine available at certain hours. The proximity to the Kauri forests was a big plus!

We stayed one night in the larger bungalow with sea views, and thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Robyn has been so welcoming, lovely and attentive, we immediately felt like home. The bungalow was spacious, exceptionally well-maintained and meticulously clean. We ordered a "room service", a home cooked meal made by Robyn herself, for dinner (including homemade ice cream that was beyond delicious!), and loved every bite of it. Strongly recommend staying here - there's loads to do in the area, and Robyn is the perfect hostess. Thanks for having us!

I should have booked further on the road.
I should have booked further on the road. This motel is too old and dated and far too cramped among other adjacent rooms for comfort. At $240 /night it was shockingly overpriced. The bathroom was so tiney, you could barely turn around, also the old toilet. The shower had a plastic curtain! ( circa 1970). The place was clean but really too old to be operating espeially at this price. The owner or the operator was pilote and pleasant ( Felicity and Sasha) but really, we were not impressed, in fact VERY disappointed. Cutlery in the drawers was toally unmatched1 Like a scout camp.ElizabethNew Zealand - 2.0Scored 2.0

Location was great but unfortunately the room was dirty and the pool was closed due to health and safety. The staff were friendly and accommodated as much as they could. It was difficult for them because they could see how dirty things were and they tried their best. It needs an upgrade. It use to be such a beautiful place to stay at.

We did not stay in Opononi but had breakfast at the Thai Landing which was excellent. We booked the Manea footprints of Kupe cultural experience which was informative and professionally presented. Would recommend.ClaireNew Zealand - 4.0Scored 4.0
Have stayed here a number of times over the past 8 years.
Have stayed here a number of times over the past 8 years. Since the change of ownership you can really see the decline in service and appearance. Villas cost more now than they ever have yet there are broken toilet roll holders, broken TVs, horrible wifi issues, not enough staff, rooms not being serviced and a kitchen that caught on fire. This place is in need of some serious work and adjustments. Sad to see such a historical place in the Hokianga go down like this.DanielNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

beautiful part of NZ, beaches, bush walks, and not too many people around. Food was a little disappointing as due to covid a lot of places were closing early or not open at all. Our dinner at the Opononi Pub was average, unfortunately the restaurant wasnt open for dinner on the Saturday night. This was one place we were looking forward to dining in. The restaurant at The Heads was open, so we enjoyed eggs bene for breakfast which was quite nice. Service Staff here are very friendly.AAnonymousAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
Manea Footprints Waipoua is excellent.
Manea Footprints Waipoua is excellent. The area around Oponini/Omapere is well worth a visit for the scenery and history. Unfortunately we didn't get to see Manea Footprints of Kupe so that will be for our next trip.ChrisNew Zealand

- 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 11 reviewsWe stayed on the basis of self catering. What we loved about the property was that it exceeded our expectations. The position is wonderful with immediate access to the beach. Whilst there are very few facilities for us in this location (it didn’t matter as that’s why we chose to stay there) there was a hotel where we ate it and the two nights we were there and that was extremely good. There was a local shop where we go to get supplies. On a five week trip to New Zealand, this was one of the highlights!
RichardYoung couple - Avg. price/night: £79.138.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 895 reviewsThe Opononi Lighthouse Motel was well situated for our return road trip from Russell as we headed to Auckland. The room was a modest size but appointed with all that we needed. The lovely lady tending the front desk was very cheerful and helpful in answering our questions and making us feel very comfortable. Loved the hot tub and outside BBQ cooking area. The Asian lady at the Landing Cafe about 500m down the road, makes the best Pad Thai and White Flats,JoanneYoung couple

Julie-AnneFamily with young children - 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 32 reviewsWe were very happy- enjoyed the views - the easy access to the village. The information about the property was very interesting and it was great to see the transformation the little cottage had undergone after being moved all those years ago to Opononi. The cottage is very comfortable and roomy with fantastic views.
