    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.

    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.

    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!

    Wow this place was a little gem. We stayed here for the night as we wanted to do some walks in the Waipoua Forest to see the big Kauri trees. It had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Bed and pillows really comfy. View to die for and great deck for afternoon drinkies. Not too many places to eat to Opononi so we got some really nice take away from the Thai restaurant and bought it back to the deck overlooking the water with a bottle of wine - what more could you ask for.

    The 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,

    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.

    The house was really beautiful and comfortable. It was a delight to stay here. We had a wonderful view of the water and it was close to Opononi centre. Nellwyn was so accomodating and a pleasure to deal with. Very friendly and informative. This is a real treasure and we highly recommend it to you.

    Spacious room # 27 with a balcony facing the sea. The only disappointment was there was a very large tree obstructing our view. This hotel has changed hands 3 times I believe and the current management is working hard to improve services. It has a stunning location with a lawn and beach frontage.

    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.

    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.
