About this property

WISTFUL ON WAIANGA. GOLDEN HOKIANGA SANDS. SUN DRENCHED BEACHFRONT HOLIDAYS.

Ideal for couples, families or groups of friends.
Wistful on Waianga is located directly over the road from the golden sandy beach of Omapere in the Hokianga. BYO SHEETS,PILLOWCASES & TOWELS
You will find a comfortable holiday home, open plan living/kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms, 1 is upstairs on the mezzanine floor.
Two dining areas to choose, the covered outdoor dining area or enjoy the view from inside at the kitchen island dining area. The kitchen is generously equipped with everything you should require to whip up gourmet meals every night.
A huge deck runs across the front of the house providing you with endless views of the sand dunes, the harbour & out to the fierce Hokianga bar & harbour mouth.
To keep you connected we have just installed superfast unlimited fibre, hooks you up fast with multiple devices being able to connect simultaneously.
There is a Chromecast for the smart tv if you want to watch Netflix or anything else via the net. Alternatively bring your skybox & cables it’s all set up for sky. This is a family Bach not quite the Hilton. We have some quirky items, old items & new items. It is an eclectic mix. We say embrace the Mccabb!
Bring your boat there is plenty of parking and the boat ramp is less than 1.5 km from your accommodation. The warm clear Hokianga waters are abundant with fish just waiting to be hooked.
If you don't fancy going out on the boat stay in, meander thru the garden cross the road and you will find yourself standing in the middle of one of the beautiful Hokianga golden sandy beach's.
The Hokianga has something for everyone.
Situated just 3.5 hrs from Auckland city you will slip into Holiday mode as soon as you arrive. It's a different pace of life there.
Visit Tane Mahuta- Lord of the Forest and largest living kauri in the world. The new Manea centre in Opononi & travel back in time to Walk in Kupe’s footprints. Kupe is believed to have been on the first waka to land in the Hokianga
Head to the famous sand dunes for sand surfing, there is plenty of water taxis waiting at the Opononi jetty.
Take one of the many fishing charters available.
Visit Rawene or Waimamaku just 2 of the many historic Northland villages with cafes and art galleries to visit around every corner.
The almost famous Opononi fish n chip shop is only a 2 minute drive.
Enjoy a meal and drinks at the luxury Copthorne Hotel and Resort the kids can swim while you are enjoying the famous Northland hospitality.
Back at Waianga the sunsets from the deck are unbelievable,
Even more so with a chardy or a cold Heineken in hand....
Pillows, duvet inners and duvet covers are included, you just need to pack your own sheets, pillow cases & towels. Electric blankets are fitted on all our beds to keep you snug in winter.
Bring a couple of great books that you haven't had the time to read yet and enjoy laying back & relaxing.
Either way you won't want to leave but when you do, you will feel a whole heap better then when you arrived... that's the Hokianga promise!

About the host

Host profile image
My sister & I inherited this property after our father passed away suddenly 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 from the Bay of plenty 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 here & 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.
Overall the house has a great vibe!
The bathroom is tired but we are planning on a full Reno this year. So you will need to remember it’s not a flashy new perfect home it’s just a Bach.
