It is proudly New Zealand owned, operated and hosted.

Relax here in the garden, dine under a canopy of stars, and take in the stunning scenery which surrounds us. Enjoy views down the Waikare Inlet and through the Verocina Channel to the Bay of Islands.

This is a small, quiet, relaxed community of friendly locals, businesses and visiting "boaties".

Opua is the gateway to the adventure wonderland of the BAY OF ISLANDS, an area steeped in history. The motel is a great place to use as a base for your Bay experience, a more peaceful alternative to the busy resort town of Paihia, just 5 km north. There is an airport at Kerikeri, 20 minutes north.
