Gene's Place is wonderful. We spent a relaxing week there, enjoying the water view, comfortable accommodations, and peaceful setting of Rawene. It's a great base for exploring all that the Hokianga has to offer. Cheryl and Rob are fabulous hosts - helpful and responsive. Their tiny house is beautiful, and filled with lots of amenities...loved the cooking utensils and storage containers. We were able to walk to town for groceries and takeaways, and alternated between the Boatshed Cafe and City Gallery for coffees and treats. A perfect week! We hope to return.
