The property was very well appointed, tasteful decor with lovely views. Robyn the host is very friendly and suggested lots to do in the area suitable for us. The food on offer was fabulous. A few small local amenities within walking distance including a small shop, cafe and fish and chip shop … a bigger shop is approx 20 mins drive away

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.

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.
We 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!
Good hotel clean room, The decor is a bit dated but the room was comfortable and warm - The owner was kind to leave a note on the reception as we had checkedinn very late --
Beautiful greenary at the motel with many trees and plants outside , and offcourse the Opononi beach right across which was a fantastic view -
The area is also convenient with convenience stores and restaurants right next to the motel -
It was also very peaceful and quiet --
We absolutely loved this hotel. Fantastic view over the enormous sand dune, nice and spacious rooms with a generous outdoor veranda. Absolute sea access, clean water and nice beach. The pool area is wonderful and the food in the restaurant is excellent. Staff is attentive and super nice.
Would like to return and can highly recommend.
Location by the beach. Spacious and very clean. Had all the amenities needed for a two night stay if not longer. V close to the centre of Opononi which is a small delightful place , as a very good cafe which is then a very good thai restaurant in the evening. Local supermarket too. Close to the Kouto boulders worth a visit.
We 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.
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
The staff at the hotel were lovely, the room was clean and the location was close to the centre of town. We had everything we needed for our one night stay. We loved our little balcony and their common area with a barbecue was great.
Always a pleasure to stay at Opononi. The rooms are light and airy, right across from the pub, restaurant and water. Clean and comfy and I like that they have a fridge and kettle for hot drinks.
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.
Very serene location nestled in the mountains north of Opononi. A great house with many features such as fireplace, wrap-around deck, full kitchen, two baths, amazing views.. The list goes on
Old landmark hotel with great bar and restaurant. We were supposed to have a room with 2 beds but they did not have any. The management gave us 2 separate rooms instead. Very accommodating
Among other houses in a patchy holiday and low-income area, it was different and sort of quaint. View across other houses of Hokianga Harbor. The blue bach was tiny, but very clean.
Good location directly at the sea. Well equipped room. Our room even had a small terrace/veranda. Bar linked to the hotel was just an additional positive point. We would visit again.
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!
Flowers galore surrounded this very cute lodging. Manager was very friendly and helpful. Our apartment was pristine, bed was very comfortable. Several restaurants nearby.
