5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We spent two nights here in May, and found it comfortable, well appointed and spotless. Our host, Brent, could not have been more helpful, and even offered us different unit with a better view over the harbour if we wanted. An excellent beach lies just accross the road, with safe swimming, and there are a restaurant, general store, takeaways shop,... More

Recommended to us by friends, this Motel provided one nights accommodation to our family of 5. It was clean and tidy with the essentials you need for a family on the road (e.g. fully stocked kitchenette). It is well positioned by the waters of the Hokianga Harbour and a short walk to the local pub and shop. The spa was... More

This was our second time staying here and it was even cleaner and better. This time we were in room 1 and it felt like brand new. We had no road noise trouble, though this was probably because there was no traffic. The hosts were super friendly when we got chatting. We will be going back to this motel.

A nice little motel with very friendly owners. This is well run, very clean and a nice place to chill out. Great (and healthy) takaways just a short stroll out the gate and to the right. Reviewed in the context of the location it is five stars for me.

A bit disappointed that the only lighthouse was a ' 2mtr model' at the front of the motel but the rest of the motel was as expected. Normal sized rooms and normal facilities. Helpful staff and handy for the shops/restaurants. Good breakfast and a reasonable price all you can ask for.

We just loved this place. The location was perfect. Our unit, number 7, had a seaside view. It was clean and pleasant and and had all the comforts of home. The owner was very nice too! We would recommend this adorable place to all.

We thought this was the best self contained accommodation in Opononi and good value for money. We'd looked at the other options and this motel came out tops for us. We were a group of two couples in our 60's and had a choice of units 1 or 4 and chose 4 as it was further from the road, although... More

Quiet location with a small sandy/pebbly beach across a small road. The accommodation was okay but the one night on the way North was enough. Shops & bars within walking distance. Free WiFi as long as you don't download.

Although the motel is a bit dated, our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The owner was friendly and helpful. Opononi itself is very small and the shops, such as they are, are just a short drive away. We decided to use the motel's BBQ during our visit. All in all a very nice place to stay.
