Conveniently located near the car ferry and the charming heritage sites of Kohukohu and Rawene. Discover local art galleries, cafés, and historic landmarks nearby.
Enjoy a hike through native forest to the hill lookout, with spectacular views of the Hokianga Harbour. No TVs, just trees, and an abundance of native wildlife. The Tree House is a hidden gem among gems.
