Spectacular place to stay
We greatly appreciated the comfort, cleanliness and quality of our accommodation, and our wonderful hosts, Harvey and Sue. The view was wonderful and we had to pinch ourselves as to how lucky we were to be there. Thank you

Great location - really quiet and peaceful - with a lovely outlook. Just what we needed. Spent time just watching the bellbirds feed only a few metres away. Quite special. The hosts are lovely people - very friendly and accommodating. Excellent breakfast - more than we expected - and great company. We chatted over breakfast and had a lovely time. Thanks. Simon & Jill.

The property is set in a peaceful location with gorgeous views. A perfect spot to relax and unwind and enjoy Kiwi hospitality. The room and bathroom were spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast with the hosts and other guests was the highlight and what made the stay extra special.

First Rate
A delightful place to stay. Initially concerned that we weren't within walking distance of the town but actually the location and views more than compensated. The room was pristine, home cooked breakfast superb, other guests pleasant and engaging and the hosts, including Bailey, made this the most enjoyable of stays. It was my first homestay but I'd definitely do it again.

Whitianga, NZ
Ohuka Place Homestay is a 2 guest room home in the suburbs of Whitianga. The home is situated on the hill overlooking the peninsula with gorgeous views from our room. Edwin and Helen (homeowners) are there to accommodate your every need including a home cooked breakfast every morning in their kitchen. Ohuka Place is only 8 minutes from the heart of Whitianga and very easy to get to. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean coupled with the hospitality of Edwin and Helen made the stay for 2 nights Over the top!!! Make sure you get detailed directions to the house. Ive asked Helen and Edwin to get some "Signage" to make the place easier to find.

Je recommande cet établissement douillet où on se sent comme chez soi. Merci encore aux propriétaires pour cette parenthèse parfaite !

Stayed there for a couple of nights, during our visit to NZ. Very good value for the money: large room, beautiful view, very nice and helpful hosts, excellent breakfast. It more than made up for the fact that the location, a few miles out of town, wasn't perfect for us.
