Rawene Rawene Community Library Hotels

"We had fallen in love with the Sands Hotel in an earlier overnight visit (2023). The ocean view from the room was exceptional and the weather was pleasant so we slept with the doors open listening the to ocean and the breeze. Staff was wonderful and meals were good. Folks went above and beyond by being able to make up an ad hoc dinner when the power was out - delicious fish dinner by candlelight. There was a decent number of construction projects underway so it looks like the hotel will only get better."

"Spotlessly clean, well equipped with the beach across the road. Near to supermarket and restaurant."

"Great owner/operator. Very friendly and helpful. Location is great to be able to walk to stores, shops and restaurants. "

"awesome views, clean property, spacious, laundry options, sauna, and huge deck to enjoy the sun, food, wine and view"

"Clean well run by friendly people. "

"Awesome motel..best in kaitaia.."

"Well designed Thermal Mass house in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Lovely getaway from the busy city. Short drive to beach and shops. Two stores close by and a Four Square, also a popular fish and chop shop and bar. Limited internet access, no tv, so we played lots of family games. Only slightly negative point was the steep driveway, but my husband coped by putting his foot down! Joanna was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely stay again "

"Stopped into Hokianga for a relaxing couple of days, such a beautiful location opposite the beach, cafes just short walk along beach or road"

" Very central and Mihi the lone staff is very attentive."
