Wayfarer Motel

Wayfarer Motel

8/10 Good
"Clean with plenty of space. Pool and Spa weren't open so can't comment on those. We were in Room 9 at the front near the office with a carpark directly outside the room which was good. The gate to the Backpacker accommodation in the next block was behind our room so we heard it slamming all the time, also the lights outside are bright so it is difficult to get the room dark for sleeping. Try to get a room at the rear to avoid this. The staff are very friendly and helpful."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Raetea Forest?
The best area to stay near Raetea Forest is Hokianga Harbour, particularly around the towns of Opononi and Omapere.

This region offers stunning natural beauty, with the forest to one side and the expansive harbour and sand dunes to the other. Opononi and Omapere are small coastal towns situated directly on the Hokianga Harbour, providing easy access to the water and the nearby forest trails. They're well-equipped with local eateries and accommodation options.

For couples seeking a peaceful and scenic retreat, the area around Opononi is ideal. You can enjoy long walks along the beachfront, take a ferry across the harbour to explore the giant sand dunes, or embark on a guided tour into the Raetea Forest to discover ancient kauri trees. The sunsets over the harbour are particularly memorable.

Families will also find Opononi and Omapere a great base. The calm waters of the harbour are suitable for swimming and kayaking, and there are opportunities for horse riding along the beach.
When is the best time to go to Raetea Forest?
The best time to go to Raetea Forest is during the summer months, from December to February, or the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May).

During summer, the weather is typically warm and dry, making it ideal for exploring the forest's walking and cycling trails. The longer daylight hours also allow for more time outdoors. This period is particularly good for families due to the favourable weather for outdoor activities.

Spring offers pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds than summer, with the added bonus of seeing the native flora in bloom. Autumn provides a similar experience with mild weather and the changing colours of some of the non-native trees.
