Directly on the water of Hokianga Harbour at Omapere the Copthorne Hotel & Resort is a pretty 4-star hotel offering spacious accommodation in a lovely location. This small hotel has just 33 studio-style guest rooms. Rooms are a good size and all have en suite facilities. All of the rooms have a balcony with many of them overlooking the water. The hotel has 2 restaurants for guests to choose from both of which offer a lovely selection of traditional New Zealand cuisine including many seafood specialities. The House Bar & Bistro is the perfect venue to enjoy a meal with a view as it overlooks the water and the sand dunes across the bay. The Copthorne Hotel & Resort is ideally situated to explore all that the Hokianga Harbour area has to offer including the surrounding forests sand dunes and sandbar.

“Lovely place to stay - Villa was very good, Staff also very good, but everything somewhat restricted due to Covid and few guests coming to stay or to dine at Restaurant, so Menu curtailed, little choice. Wine list not very good & extremely expensive! However, beautiful area and may return.”

“Located in a beautiful and calm waterfront setting, it is a great place to relax. The dining room was elegant, the food excellent and the staff were polite. My room was large and had a great view to the harbour. Only a few niggles have made me down rate the accommodation to four stars, whereas the dining experience rates five stars. Consider my rating to be 4.5.”

Teve um adorável almoço de pub lá. Prato misto por $ 50. Bom valor para o dinheiro. É bom ter samosas adequadas também.

Ambas as estrelas são para a posição. Vistas lindas com vista para as cabeças. Lamento dizer que fiquei desapontado. Os quartos são ok e confortáveis, mas infelizmente as salas públicas e o bar foram deixados sozinhos e as mesas não limpas quando visitamos ... Para o dinheiro que eu esperaria melhor

Este hotel depende exclusivamente de sua localização. Não está oferecendo valor pelo dinheiro. Ficamos 2 noites. Nosso quarto não foi atendido. Não havia refeições no restaurante para o sábado à noite, mas lanches caros servidos em recipientes de isopor !!! Absolutamente horrorizado! Não há muitas outras opções em Opononi. Sem água quente na manhã da partida. Apenas um membro da equipe realmente nos cumprimentou agradavelmente. Tenho viajado muito e este hotel não está à altura do padrão.

Este hotel se basa únicamente en su ubicación. No ofrece una buena relación calidad-precio. Estuvimos 2 noches. Nuestra habitación no estaba atendida. No hubo comidas en el restaurante para el sábado por la noche, pero ¡bocadillos de bar caros servidos en recipientes de poliestireno! ¡Absolutamente horrorizado! No hay muchas otras opciones en Opononi. No hay agua caliente en la mañana de la salida. En realidad, solo un miembro del personal nos recibió amablemente. He viajado mucho y este hotel no está a la altura.

Ambas estrellas son para la posición. Preciosas vistas a las cabezas. Lamento decir que me decepcionó. Las habitaciones están bien y son cómodas, pero lamentablemente las salas públicas y el bar se dejaron desatendidos y las mesas no estaban despejadas cuando visitamos ... Por el precio, esperaba algo mejor

This hotel relies solely on its location. It is not offering value for money. We stayed 2 nights. Our room was not serviced. There were no restaurant meals for the Saturday night, but overpriced bar snacks served in polystyrene containers!!! Absolutely horrified! There are not many other options in Opononi. No hot water on morning of departure. Only one staff member actually greeted us pleasantly. I have traveled extensively and this hotel is not up to standard.

Both of these stars are for the position. Lovely views overlooking the heads. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed. Bedrooms are ok and comfortable but sadly the public rooms and bar were left unattended and tables uncleared when we visited... For the money I'd expect better

É uma ótima localização e eu adoro isso, eu fiquei no The Heads Villa, pela segunda vez. Desta vez foi quando os novos proprietários assumiram, e parece que tudo parece antiquado, sem utensílios para usarmos como micro-ondas. O estacionamento é um verdadeiro horror! Outros então que o serviço da população local era 5 estrelas MAS ... há uma verdadeira arrogância e ignorância com os indianos e devido aos padrões do que o hotel costumava ser e comparando-o a agora é um real vergonha que tenha caído muito! Esses caras estão apenas atrás de dinheiro, em vez de serviço e qualidade!

Es una excelente ubicación y me encanta, me quedé en The Heads Villa, por segunda vez. Esta vez fue cuando los nuevos propietarios se hicieron cargo, y parece que todo parece anticuado, sin utensilios para usar como un microondas. ¡El estacionamiento es un verdadero horror! Aparte de que el servicio de la gente local era un 5 estrellas PERO ... hay una verdadera arrogancia e ignorancia con los chicos indios y debido a los estándares de lo que solía ser el hotel y compararlo entonces con ahora es un verdadero vergüenza que haya caído mucho! ¡Estos tipos solo buscan dinero en lugar de servicio y calidad!

Its a great location and I love it, I stayed in The Heads Villa, for the second time. This time it was when the new owners took over, and it seems like everything looks out dated, no utensils for us to use such as a microwave. The parking is a real horror! Other then that the service from the local people was a 5 stars BUT....there is a real arrogance and ignorance with the Indian guys and due to the standards of what the hotel use to be and comparing it then to now its a real shame that it has fallen greatly! These guys are only after money rather then service and quality!

Localizado em um ambiente bonito e tranquilo à beira-mar, é um ótimo lugar para relaxar. A sala de jantar era elegante, a comida excelente e os funcionários educados. Meu quarto era grande e tinha uma bela vista para o porto. Apenas algumas pequenas imperfeições me fizeram rebaixar a classificação da acomodação para quatro estrelas, enquanto a experiência gastronômica classificou-se como cinco estrelas. Considere minha classificação de 4,5.

Uau, uau, uau, a partir do momento em que você puxa para cima, você recebe cuidados. Absolutamente amo as vilas renovadas. O bar e o restaurante têm manjedouras de primeira linha e o chef possui grande habilidade com uma estrela Michelin. Tudo em torno de uma experiência de 5 estrelas

Ubicado en un hermoso y tranquilo entorno frente al mar, es un gran lugar para relajarse. El comedor era elegante, la comida excelente y el personal educado. Mi habitación era grande y tenía una gran vista del puerto. Solo unas pocas quejas me han hecho rebajar el alojamiento a cuatro estrellas, mientras que la experiencia gastronómica califica a cinco estrellas. Considere que mi calificación es de 4.5.
