We stayed with our UK whanau for 2 nights and as we'd experienced before it was an enjoyable experience. Lovely clean rooms, warm welcome and relaxing spa, what more could you want! Oh, and the beautiful Hokianga Harbour and mighty sand dunes are just across the road, a gruelling 1 minute walk to view - awesome😊 Nearby shops, Hotels, fish n chips very handy and easy walking too. Well be back for sure.

When undertaking a "roadie" like we are, one experiences many different standards, styles & prices of motel, but strewth at $NZ220 a night for this place it's ridiculously overpriced ! Yes, it's clean, yes the room's got space, yes we slept OK....but heck it's very old style & needs a total revamp. The bathroom area in room 10 was incredibly small - even had separate hot & cold taps - that's old style! . Plus no view from the room of the lovely Hokianga River 50m away! . On the plus side the location's great & the lady at check in was lovely & welcoming!

Quaint little hotel room with beach across street. Had a small deck with tropical plants surrounding us. Lady who checked us in was fantastic - we were running a tad late (6:30) but she was waiting for us and told us to head immediately to fish and chip stand as it was almost closing time. Made it with only minutes to spare.

We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a beautiful established garden outside our rooms. It has a lovely relaxed family friendly vibe. The beach was just across the road and we could see the Hokianga harbour entrance. Thank you

If I could give more stars I would!
If I could give more stars I would! This place was beyond amazing. Right on the water so you have quick access to the beach. The people running the hotel were so lovely and helpful and friendly with many suggestions for things to do. The unit was spotless and had everything you could need (plus a dehumidifier for the muggier days). Comfortable bed. Great wifi. Kitchen has everything. Beautiful outdoor table overlooking the water for morning coffee. Lastly, the flowers and plants around the property are breathtaking. Shower is on the smaller side, but was not a problem for me.
