Really enjoyed our stay
Lovely place to stay, amazing views of the hokianga harbour, fantastic sunsets, great area, friendly locals, the place had everything we needed, we were all comfortable, unable to connect to wifi or get freeview going, but the property manager refunded us some money towards personal data. Only downfall for us, was that even though the property is pet friendly, its not fenced so we couldnt allow our fur baby to freely be outside and just relax, with the main road just below a worry, however great areas across the road for walks and the beach.

Not a bad place to be
We arrived at our check-in time unfortunately the guests from the previous night were still there so had to wait while they packed up. Was a little put out by this because no cleaner had gone through before we got there and we had to do dishes, and a general clean up before we could settle in. It's a wonderful place to relax and spend time with the family. Would like to stay again in future but would have to make sure someone had gone through the house before we turn up.

Utter perfection.
It’s not often we find accommodation that meets the needs of our whole whānau (including our 2 dogs) but Claude’s whare does! We loved it and we will be back. The house is tidy and perfectly meets needs, great proximity to the beach and all reasonably priced. Loved listening to waves crashing on the shore from bed.

Blissful well named accomodation.
We throughly enjoyed our stay. Well appointed property with everything we needed. Close to local shops and cafe/Opo takeaway. Wonderful views. Excellent location in quite street. We were fortunate to have an early check in and offered a later checkout. Great communication we will stay here again in future. Only thing we found was some of the doors were a little hard to open out to the deck and the main front door was hard to close. Keep getting caught. Other than that great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Claude

Host profile image
My sister & I inherited this property after our father suddenly passed away in 2004. We enjoyed a few years of sharing family summer holidays in the Hoki, the house would be bursting with kids & visitors all summer long. It was an all round awesome few years of holidaying in the Hokianga.
The Hokianga really is the perfect setting & vibe for families wanting a stress free relaxed holiday. After a few years both my family & my sister & her family moved from Auckland to Tauranga. The quick week end stays were over as it's a big drive for a 2 night stay so we decided to find some nice locals for a few years but that didn’t go well so in 2014 we did a complete make over & listed it on HomeAway & here we are.....

Why they chose this property

Comfortable home away from home. Loads of home comforts at the beach house. Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing.
Sun drenched. Extensive gardens. A modern but humble Bach. There’s a great ‘feel’ or ‘vibe’ to the property so you can slip into holiday mode with ease!
The open plan living layout is perfect for holidays having a central area to all come together. The bedrooms are big enough to escape to if you need some peace & quiet.
Plenty to do in northland.
Beautiful golden beaches.
The biggest kauri tree in the world the mighty Tane Mahuta is waiting to see you.

What makes this property unique

The sunsets from the deck are stunning! Actually they are breath taking!
A lovely peaceful property & area where it’s very easy to really relax!
Beautiful 180 degree views of the famous golden sand dunes. Plenty of beach & water views being directly over the road from the beach.
