Fabulous location - beautiful views over the Hokianga Harbour and a wonderful cultural experience as the Maori Trust that manage this lovely home go above and beyond to look after their guests. Their hospitality (manaakitanga) is outstanding. You arrive as guests and leave as friends/family!

Beautiful old property with amazing history. Rooms are large and clean some with access to the wraparound verandah which was ideal for afternoon wine and river gazing. The staff are amazing! Nothing is to much trouble for them. A big thank you to Anthony for cooking a delicious dinner and breakfast also for answering all our questions about the area and the Villa. Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.

The host gave a warm reception and was very helpful. Staff and family/whanau who support the B&B were very professional and demonstrated respect, generosity, care, and protection for the people who were staying at River Villa. There were plenty of topics for discussion with hosts and guests, or just finding a peaceful quiet place to read or rest. The northern walk and cycle tracks are close by. The villa is immaculate inside with surroundings of native flora outside. Not only was it relaxing it had some of the best views in New Zealand. I would describe the breakfast as higher class continental. IMHO its a good place to stay and well worth the price.

The hosts are very lovely. It's like visiting friends who help you when you need their help. Otherwise, you can enjoy your time there undisturbed on your own, with a wonderful view from the great swing on the veranda.

This is a lovely period house that has been reolcated up onto the hill, the views are stunning. The meals we had were all great, simple wholesome food but prepeared well and served in a lovely dining room. lovely quiet spot and we enjoyed ending the day with a relaxing sit on the veranda and a good book.
