Opononi Hotel

Beautiful location and value for money. The room was well sized with all the amenities. The continental breakfast was a bonus with all you need.

Nothing.

The ocean views & the helpful bar staff.

The early closing of the public bar on a Friday night due to poor patronage.

we were happy

It was close to the beach. The man that gave our keys was awesome.

Unfortunately, our stay did not meet our expectations. The breakfast was disappointing, as most of the food was served cold. Aside from the toast, everything else was already cold by the time we received it. Considering the price we paid, we expected a fresh, hot breakfast. We also had to wait approximately 10 minutes while staff went to the dairy next door to purchase milk and bread to top up and restock items, as only about half of the breakfast selection was available when we arrived. The room also did not match what was advertised. We had booked expecting a full view of the sand dunes and water; however, trees significantly blocked the view. Additionally, the driveway requires maintenance. There were several large potholes, which made access difficult and may not be suitable for smaller vehicles. Overall, while the location has potential, improvements in these areas would greatly enhance the guest experience and better align with guest expectations for the price paid.
