The view from the balcony is the star of this property and hard to beat. We had a pleasant one-night stay. The host forgot we were staying the night when we arrived in the late afternoon, but they got the place ready while we head out for some local fish and chips for dinner - so it was no biggie. Eclectic interior decor, as mentioned by some of the other guests, but the unit was cosy and well-appointed. It was thoughtful of the host to have some literature available about the history of Hokianga. Great location for a quick stop-over on the way up North. PS: Manea - the footprint of Kupe is just a minute drive from this accommmodation. It is an amazing experience well worth including in your itinaray. Highly recommended.
