Heaven at Hokianga Heads

This little old bach is beautifully welcoming and feels like a home. The location could barely be more perfect; our family of five had a beautiful and therapeutic week here.

Lovely spot

Great location right on beach. Cottage was super cute with its shabby chic interior. Kitchen well equipped with sharp knives which are often lacking in holiday homes. Only issues we had was left over rubbish was left in outdoor bin which really stunk. Fridge did not work properly which meant we had to dispose of alot of unused items and washing machine leaked. Apart from that really enjoyed ourselves and would come again.

Beautiful location

We had a lovely time in this home, great location on the beach and the kids loved being able to play outside and climb the trees. We came in the winter and having read the reviews we were expecting it to be cold so had packed extra layers, the fan heater did the job though because the oil radiator wasn’t working we could only use the fan heater so this dried the air and made us cough at night. It was also very dusty on the floors and surfaces with lots of cobwebs, possibly because it hasn’t been used for a while and just needed a better clean? The sheets were lovely and cosy and luxurious though I think one of the single beds needs to be looked at as it felt like it might break, luckily my daughter is pretty light so managed fine. So overall it was fine but could do with some more attention to detail for the price.

Hi Harshna, Thank you for your review, I am pleased you enjoyed the location of our bach. apologies if it was dusty, we did ask our cleaners to go in and give it a special additional clean prior to you arriving so it is disappointing to hear it was dusty! We hadn't let it out for a long time prior to you coming as we were waiting for the new roof to go on which happened just after you left. I'm not sure what was happening with the oil heater, it was working fine for us two weeks after you left and for our daughter a few weeks prior. There is also a convection heater in the lounge. We would only use the fan heater for quick burst of heat as it does dry the air. With the new roof now on and updated insulation we are finding it to be warm and to retain the heat well and the oil heater is all we need.

As an artist the decor was so beautiful

Great communication with Victoria. She was kind and generous with her time and changes. The house was so beautifully decorated it was in my top two accomadation experiences . As an artist I felt both rested and inspired. The location was stunning and it was really hard moving on . For a winter refresh or any artists wishing for time away to focus on your practice I highly recommend. My whole stay was a real joy. I would love to go back one day.

Fabulous autumn holiday

We had a wonderful stay in this quaint Kiwi bach. Great location in the quiet bay end of the beach meant we could swim, kayak and walk as well as simply relax and enjoy the view The property was well equipped with everything we needed. The lighting was tricky and the TV didn't work however we didn't mind as we weren't there to watch TV! And evening family time lit by the candle chandelier was lovely. Excellent, we had a wonderful time with lots of memories made Thank you 😊

We had a lovely time in this bach over a long weekend mid-Feb. There was everything you could need and the view is stunning. Unfortunately, homeaway let the process down a bit as their emails aren't working properly and automatic check-in instructions/ property info wasn't sent. Hot water in kitchen wasn't working so we had to boil jug to do the dishes etc. but wasn't a major!

What the soul needed

We were greeted by the amazing Chanel, she is the goddess that looks after this property on behalf of the owners. We were grateful for her kindness and knowledge of the area. We were not sent an email of what to do on departure but to the best of abilities tidied what we could. Parking was a little harder than expected as the ground was wet from rain and feared we would get stuck. Overall, the stay was amazing, the house has all we needed. We will be returning again soon! Thank you to the owners and special thank you to Chanel 🙏🏽

Best location In Omapere

We had our wedding at the Copthorne and stayed here with our 4 teenagers. You can not beat the location and the charm. Had everything we needed and the style of the house very tasteful and charming! Absolutely loved it and will definitely will be back. Lovely extras, like the kayaks, cricket and lawn games were well used and much appreciated!

Beautiful wee batch

We really enjoyed our stay here, there were a few issues that would have been nice to not deal with - mouse poo on and in the bed, if you're going in winter it's cold! They supply two heaters but you're only meant to use the small oil fin which doesn't do much at all so pack lots of woolies! A favorite was the location and the super lush linen, gorgeous view and lovely atmosphere too. The hot water at the sink is very difficult to use.

Unparalled location

Definitely the most charming of the BnB offerings we researched in the area. Such a beautiful old house. We forgave a few maintenance issues, but for this to be a truly great bach those need to be addressed. Great bed linens! And a sense of generosity was in evidence. Watch out for the regular Saturday night weddings at the nearby Copthorne hotel during summer - amazing level of music noise until midnight on the Saturday we stayed. We had a really great time and the hosts offer some great amenities. Many thanks

Enchanting little historic bach right on the beach.

We had the most wonderful time exploring Omapere, and the Hokianga Harbour, as a family from this beautiful little bach which has been lovingly decorated in vintage style. We immediately felt relaxed and comfortable. Our children loved playing on the beach right in front of the bach and the view across the natural harbour to the sand dunes is incredible. There are plenty of adventures to be had nearby including Tane Mahuta, Boogie boarding the sand dunes and a dip in the Mermaid Pools. A beautiful and historic part of New Zealand to explore. Thank you.
