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!

The Opononi Bliss was perfect for our stay! The host was friendly and provided lots of helpful recommendations. We loved the cleanliness and decor of the cottage. Highly recommend!

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!

This is a lovely period house that has been reolcated up onto the hill, the views are stunning. The meals we had were all great, simple wholesome food but prepeared well and served in a lovely dining room. lovely quiet spot and we enjoyed ending the day with a relaxing sit on the veranda and a good book.

Great local vibe. We stayed at the top of the hill and it was outstanding. Food was mediocre but we loved hanging out in the hotel pub.
Great spot, great views of the harbour where ever you stay.
Great spot, great views of the harbour where ever you stay. Nice restaurants, cafes and bars. Has a great little Four Square for shopping. Nearby is a great drive through the Waipoua Forest, visit the great Kauri tree Tane Mahuta - Tane Mahuta is the guardian of the forest and birds.

It's a handy base to visit other attractions such as the giant kauri and the Koutu Boulders. We were there on a Saturday so the Markey was open. There are harbour cruises and kayaking available and trips to the sand dunes for tobogganing.

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.

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.

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.
Due to a mix up by the hotel they did not have enough rooms. We had booked a twin bed room as we were only passing through and did not need more, no problem for them. The hotel gave us a one bedroom apartment with full facilities at the same price without question. Excellent customer relations.
Breakfast was described as continental and it was pretty basic but it was help yourself so plenty to start the day off.
Incredible facilities. Hotel-style bathroom (amazing after being used to hostel bathrooms!), and lovely kitchen and common area with TV, books etc. Quiet location. Owners were lovely and the right amount of being involved without intruding on my stay
clean and cozy. within walking distance of Opononi wharf and restaurants. don’t use google maps … walk further up farlie cres to the end of the road and turn left down gravel path to main road.
