WISTFUL ON WAIANGA. GOLDEN HOKIANGA SANDS. SUN DRENCHED BEACHFRONT HOLIDAYS.

Ideal for couples, families or groups of friends.
Wistful on Waianga is located directly over the road from the golden sandy beach of Omapere!
A very comfortable holiday home, open plan living/kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms.
Two dining areas to choose, the covered outdoor dining area or enjoy the view from inside at the kitchen island dining area. The kitchen is generously equipped with everything you should require to whip up gourmet meals every night including, blender, air fryer, & much more….
A huge deck runs across the front of the house providing you with endless views of the sand dunes, the harbour & out to the fierce Hokianga bar & harbour mouth.
Kick start your mornings with a Latte or cappuccino from the Nespresso Lattissma touch machine.
To keep you connected there is unlimited wifi, vdsl hooks you up fast with multiple devices being able to connect simultaneously.
There is a Chromecast for the smart tv if you want to watch Netflix or anything else via the net. Alternatively bring your skybox & cables it’s all set up for sky. There is an Xbox 360 with one controller plus a few games.
Bring your boat there is plenty of parking and the boat ramp is less than 1.5 km from your accommodation. The warm clear Hokianga waters are abundant with fish just waiting to be hooked.
If you don't fancy going out on the boat stay in, meander thru the garden cross the road and you will find yourself standing in the middle of one of the beautiful Hokianga golden sandy beach's.
The Hokianga has something for everyone.
Situated just 3.5 hrs from Auckland city you will slip into Holiday mode as soon as you arrive. It's a different pace of life there.
Visit Tane Mahuta- Lord of the Forest and largest living kauri in the world. The new Manea centre in Opononi & travel back in time to Walk in Kupe’s footprints. Kupe is believed to have been on the first waka to land in the Hokianga
Head to the famous sand dunes for sand surfing, there is plenty of water taxis waiting at the Opononi jetty.
Take one of the many fishing charters available.
Visit Rawene or Waimamaku just 2 of the many historic Northland villages with cafes and art galleries to visit around every corner.
The almost famous Opononi fish n chip shop is only a 2 minute drive.
Enjoy a meal and drinks at the luxury Copthorne Hotel and Resort the kids can swim while you are enjoying the famous Northland hospitality.
Back at Waianga the sunsets from the deck are unbelievable,
Even more so with a chardy or a cold Heineken in hand....
Pillows, duvet inners and duvet covers are included, you just need to pack your own sheets, pillow cases & towels. Electric blankets are fitted on all our beds to keep you snug in winter.
Bring a couple of great books that you haven't had the time to read yet and enjoy laying back on the chaise lounge.
Either way you won't want to leave but when you do, you will feel a whole heap better then when you arrived... that's the Hokianga promise!

Liked: Cleanliness
The location is excellent. The home is charming. There were a number of items in need of repair such as the bathroom light and the lock box. The cleaning ladies didn't do a great job as there was a desiccated reptile on the bedroom floor!

Really enjoyed our stay
Lovely place to stay, amazing views of the hokianga harbour, fantastic sunsets, great area, friendly locals, the place had everything we needed, we were all comfortable, unable to connect to wifi or get freeview going, but the property manager refunded us some money towards personal data. Only downfall for us, was that even though the property is pet friendly, its not fenced so we couldnt allow our fur baby to freely be outside and just relax, with the main road just below a worry, however great areas across the road for walks and the beach.
