We traveled the west coast and this stop was relaxed with lovely scenery, beach walking, caught a few fish and swam in calm waters. Kiwi burgers around the corner were top notch. Thanks

Disliked: Communication
Shortly after arrival, we found cockroaches in a cabinet. There was also a power outage for a while. We tried numerous times to contact the owners of the apartment for assistance. We called all the contact phone numbers provided. Nobody ever answered the phone. We left the next day and never heard from the owners. The apartment was quite nice and well equipped. But since it is impossible to get in touch with the owners, I would not book this place again.

Cabin was as described. Nice view, peaceful. What I didn’t consider was Opononi has a population of 270, so it’s a tiny settlement. Options for dining & groceries very limited. I should have taken my own supplies of food & alcohol, especially over Easter.

Fab little getaway spot
Loved 'Opononi Bliss'. A well kept, snug little house, minutes walk from the beach, the store and an A+ fish'n'chip shop. The house has is very tidy and is well stocked with creature comforts (and has a good shower - which is always a plus). The owners are easily contactable and responsive too if you need anything or have questions. Will definitely come back here in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Blair Coates

Host profile image
We have owned this property for 2 years and it is our pride and joy. Opononi has always been a very special place to us and we have poured our heart and soul into this cottage and cabin, with the intention of making it an unforgettable stay for each and every one of our guests. We are very proud of what our properties offer and hope that you enjoy all the little touches we have added :) Have an amazing stay!! - Blair & Josh

Why they chose this property

The views are worth it alone - but we have also made sure that every part of the cottage and cabin is well thought out - we stay at places all around the world and have learnt what makes a place comfortable and enjoyable. Hopefully we have created the perfect stay for anyone who chooses to book with us.

What makes this property unique

Fishing is very popular in the Hokianga, whether from the shore line/boat/wharves. Pete at Hokianga Express offers fishing charters so contact this local to ensure you catch your dinner. A major activity here is the sand board riding on the golden dunes. Pete at Hokianga Express operates every day across the harbour with the first trip at 10am and every 30mins there after until everyone is safely back in Opononi. Pete operates from the Opononi wharf and bookings can be done through the I-SITE. There is a great swimming hole/pools at South Head-park at the end of Signal Point Rd walk through the track to the left down to the beach. Turn right about 50-75m and you’ll find a slightly elevated large flat rock, climb up there is a lovely fresh salt water pool about a meter deep. This is only accessible at about 4hrs either side of high tide. WALKS HOKIANGA is provided for you to explore the area. There are many local attractions in the Hokianga - too many to mention here but there is plenty of information available at the I-SITE in Opononi. There are some leaflets in your accommodation to get you started.
