Independent in Waikawau from NZ$101

"Gorgeous bach with totally amazing views - thank you for sharing this with us."

"We were here for maybe 10 hours but very surprising at the quality of room with this stay. One of the best roadside motels ive ever been to in terms of comfort. Large new bed, good qater pressure, clean, and nice soap. Easy check in/out and even though we showed up too late, a nice looking, lively, pub on site. Great stop on our road trip. "

"The stay was fantastic. Amazing scenery and really in the absolute middle of nowhere. Nearest town was around 40 minutes away which was perfect for us. Beautiful river right off the back door and mountains all around. A quick and easy drive to one of the black-sand beaches."

"What a view, with a simple clean hut, all we needed. Kids loved the loft beds, and we just loved the simplicity and beauty of it all"

"Was a lovely and comfortable stay, thanks a lot "

"Cosy house, pub across the road for dinner. Great location to explore the coast."

"Everything was great and would definitely stay again. Hours of local restaurants were not optimal for us so check ahead and see if it works for you. Front desk staff was helpful and it’s close to so many caves and bushwalks. "

"Loved the stylings - catholic collection of cutlery, bedding, and stuff in the bach. Nice and old school (pun intended!). Had everything you could need. The fire was great, homely, warming. We loved getting away from it all in Awakino. Just enough to do and not to do. The view / location was ataahua. Beautiful place in the world. Thank you for sharing this place. "

"The staff was great and so was the Chicken Curry! Parking is a pain."
