RAWENE - Historic, Beautiful

Lovely modern apartment where you’ll enjoy all day sun from the porch area with a coffee or a glass of wine while taking in water views across to Motukaraka and the historical Northern Hokianga Harbour. Great sunsets.
A new bed will having you sleeping in relaxing peace and quiet.
Disabled access for walker guests. Large new shower with two hand rails for your safety.
An all weather carport provides easy access via a ramp to the entrance.
A great place to venture out from to Opononi, Omapere , Waipoua State Forest, Kohukohu, Mitimiti, Motuti where Archbishop Pompallier is interred, the Bay of Islands, Cape Reinga and many more historic locations.
Rawene is an amazing little town to explore....Clendon House, the library, the jail, art galleries, a Puzzle and Game Shop and more.
Try the Fish and Chip shop especially the fresh Hokianga flounder deep fried in batter.
Just an amazing location to relax and recharge in historic Rawene.

Thank You
What a great place to stay with thoughtful and unexpected extras, crackers and fish were much appreciated and the Kit Kat bars certainly added to our "have a break" time. Attention to detail, and instructions on how to use appliances made this a very comfortable and easy place to stay. My only disappointment was we could not stay longer We will definelty be back for a longer stay Thank You

Stunning views of the Hokianga Harbour
Beautifully located in Rawene overlooking the harbour. Loved our stay. The downstairs self contained unit was well set out, very clean with everything we needed. The little deck outside provided beautiful views while eating El Fresco. Very private, the owners were warm and friendly while leaving us to enjoy our break. Would definitely go back again.😊💕

Immaculate and comfortable
The property was more spacious than I expected. It's obviously been recently painted and carpeted and everything was pristine. The views are amazing. I lay in bed and through the large windows at the foot of the bed watched the sun set over Hokianga harbour and the surrounding hills, and then watched the sun rise in the morning. The place is very peaceful. It only a short walk to the cafes and shop. A really lovely place.

Relaxing Rawene
Great location, fabulous views of Hokianga Harbour. Plenty of room, great facilities provided. Hosts were most friendly and helpful, without being at all intrusive. Easy walk from the Rawene shops and harbour front. An absolutely charming and quiet place to stop and relax compared with the business and bustle of nearby Opononi. 100% worth a look!

Lovely unit with amazing views of Hokianga Harbour. Very private, exceptionally clean and comfortable with lovely outdoor area and bbq. New queen bed was a bonus. Unfortunately at present Rawene has no restaurants open in the evening but the takeaways are great; the fish was so fresh, and Opononi is only 20 minutes away for those wanting evening entertainment. Gwen and Karl made us feel very welcome and we intend to return to 3 Hamblin Street in the future.

Making Memories
Visited the Hokianga with my 84yr old aunty after many years to see again Omanaia Marae and Urupa. We had a wonderful time (3x days) travelling around together, with aunty telling us lots of stories about our whānau. Hosts Gwen and Karl were fantastic, made us very welcome. Accommodation spotless, all the necessities required provided and available, peaceful and quiet, beautiful views looking out to the Hokianga Harbour. Loved our stay and will definitely book here when we visit Rawene again. Ngā mihi nui 😍

A wonderful place to stay in the Hokianga. Ideal for a couple wanting a peaceful location. Has everything you may need, making it very comfortable. Karl and Gwen are lovely hosts, but certainly respect your privacy. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Holiday spot
Had to change the booking last min to add a guest due to bad weather, the couch turns to a double bed which was great to accommodate us a last min. The couple who live above are very friendly, let us know about cafes and welcomed us, there was a risk of a power cut due to a storm and they brought us a lamp and hot water just in case. I definitely intend on staying again. I think there was a washing machine on the listing but there wasn't one in the unit. It's likely there is one elsewhere but I only stayed one night so didn't have a chance to enquire. Otherwise everything was as listed.
