Located in Opononi, this holiday home is in a rural area and near theme parks. Travellers eager for a bit of culture can stop by Motuti Marae, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Opononi Beach and Omapere Beach. Windsurfing and power boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hunting and horse riding nearby.
The hosts were very engaging and helpful even when there was a local black-out. The views and peacefulness were terrific as well as the fresh veggies from their garden.

Really neat property in a unique area surrounded by bush. House is very comfortable and open - older style but very good. Saw a morepork at night and heard kiwi's. Kids really enjoyed exploring around the area. Candy also goes out of her way to make you welcome. A really good place.

A wonderful house in a beautiful and quiet location, with fantastic hosts. Rawiri cooked an excellent dinner for us on the first night with more than enough left over for the next day or two.
