BIRTH PLACE OF AOTEAROA The Hokianga on NZ's west-coast, is the reported birth-place of Maori civilization almost 1000 years ago, and is renowned as a special place most visitors fall in love with. We are just over an hour away from NZ's east-coast Bay of Islands (Paihia, Kerikeri), and with a car you can easily enjoy day-trips to that tourist mecca if you wish, while returning back to your 'piece of unspoilt paradise' in the chilled-out laid-back Hokianga. There is LOADS to see and do around the Hokianga, including our Kauri Coast's Tane Mahuta (NZ's largest kauri), a great coffee at the BoatShed overlooking the water in the quaint historic Rawene peninsula, a ferry to the art studios at Kohukohu, the extraordinary world-unique giant boulders at Wairere, a bone-carving lesson where you're welcome to stay all day if you wish to make your own gorgeous necklace pendant, there are dozens of scenic walking and cycle tracks, enjoying a beer on the terrace at the popular Opononi Tavern, or a pinot gris on the expansive deck at the 100-year-old stately Heads Hotel, and don't forget sand-boarding down the 300-metre dunes (heck go there with a picnic for the whole day if you wish as the inexpensive water-taxi supplies free boogie-boards), plus of course our iconic Hokianga fishing (line, cray, shellfish & big-game charters), and more! Plus if you're a bit of a history/culture buff, our location is historically significant, with our kitchens windows uninterrupted views of the conical hill Whiria (the most famous Maori Pa fortress in the Hokianga). And our local Pakanae marae (tribal meeting house) is home to the anchor-stone of the legendary Polynesian explorer Kupe who discovered NZ. If you don't mind not being right on the beach-front surrounded with neighbours, in exchange for a more private large home with unobstructed panoramic elevated views, then this house, Onepu Moana Retreat, may be exactly your refined taste.

This wonderful location has it all and is great for all water sports or simply enjoying the ever changing scene as it unfolds before you as you relax on the deck. This is laid back holidaying at its best. Part of the charm of this place is its’ seclusion – you will never hear any road noise because there is no road! This means that vehicle access is only via the beach but the sand is hard packed so it’s no problem for driving. However this does mean that the home is not accessible by car for an hour or 2 either side of high tide so if you arrive and the water is lapping your front lawn, make use of the carpark at the end of the road, then it is a simple 2 minute walk along the beach. Make a coffee or pour a wine and by the time you’re done you can wander back and collect your vehicle. - There is a Weber available for your use - Kayaks and paddle boards are also available - Cleaning charge is a $180 per visit. - All long weekends are charged at the peak rate and have a minimum of 3 nights stay. - You are welcome to bring a boat for fishing or pleasure cruising and may use our mooring while you stay.
