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!
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,
The property was very clean & tidy with a lovely comfortable bed. It was in a great location with a great sea view. We were only staying in Opononi for one night and unfortunately soon after we arrived a massive storm started but with the heater and extra blanket, it was really cosy. The property was very well equipped and would recommend to anyone visiting Opononi.
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.
A great sized room, fully equipped for our needs, clean, tidy, modern, and just a great vibe. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location is perfect. I would be happy to recommend the lighthouse Motel to all of my friends. Thank you for a great stay.
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
Exceptional location and view from our room - Hotel is located on the beach. Room was comfortable and clean. Meal in the restaurant was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Great location right over the road from the sea. The room was clean, tidy, and the furnishings suited the old hotel, with a relaxed seaside vibe. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and relaxed.
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.
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
The scenery was beautiful! The hotel and restaurant has seen many tourist for many years. The carpets and furniture had stains. However, we still enjoyed the fun atmosphere by the ocean
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.
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.
