Great for a short break.
This is an old character cottage looking out over the harbour. Even when there are mudflats there are grey herons and other sea birds. It is 4 minutes to a charming village, good coffee and friendly locals. We found it a great base to explore the Hokianga.

Quintessential kiwi bach in a beautiful town - don’t miss this one!
Gerald was an outstandingly responsive host / manager. Comms were great & we absolutely loved our stay. Rawene is such a nice wee village. We would all recommend this cottage to someone looking for that ‘old school’ Kiwi holiday vibe. It’s great.

Peaceful Rawene
Beautifully situated by the sea, my family and I enjoyed our 2 nights stay. It was really good there was no wifi or tv... close to the hokianga ferry, yummy fish n chips... woke up to the birds singing and chirping away, a sound i miss so much from back in the islands. Highly recommended if you want to lay back and enjoy the peace away from the busy city life. Thank you Gerald. 😊

Peaceful Character Bach
We absolutely loved staying in this historic character filled typical NZ beach Bach. To lie in bed and watch the tide and the birds and listen to the music of the water lapping the shore is a real holiday.
Our only problem was that we were unable to access the online code for entry.
However we knew in such a small community we would be sure to find someone who knew the property manager and within a short time we discovered the wonderful Sharon. Full of bounce and caring energy she soon had us in, making sure we had all we needed for a delightful stay. Thank you so much.

Te Kauri Kāinga
Nostalgic Privilege!
280 degree front views of the moana, acres of lush green yonder with hahi, urupā, te waka aa kaihao and peaceful tranquility.
Pickering Cottage stay was clean, with cosy nooks, traditional cuboards and their fittings, slanted walls, drift wood curtain rods and door handles. Traditional side draws and dining furnisher, no wall paper present with my favourite being the wide KAURI floors. WOW!!
Enjoyed the huge washing utility room that housed everything from washing machine, storage, tools; you name it, they have it!! Oh the new renovated area and foyer entry is beautiful. What did we change? We moved the outside chairs and table to the front balcony. Closer to the sea and great korero with the locals.
The Cottage oozed History telling of it's own whakapapa proudly present as photos on it's walls and connections to this whenua.

We loved our stay in Rawene, it was exactly as described - a "good old Kiwi batch". No frills and plenty of heart. Really close to Northland must-do trips like visiting Tane Mahuta, the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, and Paihia/Russell. We enjoyed being so close to the Rawene shops and the beautiful view. A wonderful place to unwind, would definitely recommend. Nga mihi x

Rawene- sleepy hollow delight
Great stay at very short notice - sorry Gerald. 2night stay while our group attended a breeding cow fair at Broadwood. Well setup Bach didn’t want for anything. Breakfasts at the BoatShed cafe recommended.

Ko te whare o Hokianga
what an absolutely quaint and restful cottage this is, my friends and I felt immediately relaxed and loved the views from the bedrooms of the hokianga harbour, a stunning sight to wake up too. The shower and bathroom facilities are obviously new but still have the quirk and creativity of the ocean attached and the neighborhood was so peaceful and friendly...lots of reading material and a jig saw o finish on the tepū gave us loads of information on the area and the history of the cabin, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the clear and effective communication from the host kei te mihi mō te whakatā pai nei
