Guest Reviews

• Melanie (9/5): -
• David (10/5): Fantastic homely with views - Fantastic location with views Clean and spacious comfortable room Very welcoming hosts Great breakfast one of the best band bs I have ever stayed at ! Nothing all was superb
• Fons (9/5): Zeer aan te bevelen, superadres.👍👏 - Heerlijk ontbijt, goede bedden en uitstekende gastvrouw. De heer ook trouwens.😜 Lag hoog op een berg maar daarvoor wel een prachtig uitzicht.
• Heinz Dieter (10/5): Schöne Tage mit den sehr netten Gastgebern, die immer bemüht waren den Aufenthalt noch schöner zu gestalten. - Sehr schönes Zimmer mit Ausblick und kleiner eigener Terrasse und super nette Gastgeber. Super Frühstück! Das Haus liegt doch recht weit vom Ortskern entfernt.
• Debbie (10/5): Amazing hosts who welcome you into their home for a memorable stay in a beautiful location. We would love to return one - Location- great view, quiet but within 10 minutes of town. Amazing beaches nearby. That we had to leave :)
• Marie (10/5): -
• Susanne (10/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeber. Gutes Frühstück. Das Haus liegt oberhalb det Stadt mit schöner Aussicht. Sicher zu empfehlen.
• Patricia (10/5): - The hosts were lovely and very accommodating and helpful during a red emergency for flooding in Whitianga and Coromandel Peninsula
• Peter (10/5): A great place to start our New Zealand visit. - Breakfast and view is spectacular. Special touches added to our stay. Only the weather.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Mandy (10/5): Ohuka Place Homestay a very nice place to stay - Ohuka Place Homestay is a traditional B&B where the hosts Sue & Harvey make you a wonderful, cooked breakfast. They are very friendly and helpful hosts. The B&B wing is slightly separate to the main part of the house, so you still feel like you have your own quiet space. They fly the flag of the current guests which is a nice touch. Our room & ensuite was large and comfortable. Pillows, 1 was too low 2 was too high. Maybe 2 of different heights would help.
• Julie (10/5): Julie & Bob NZ 2025 - Great home stay. Sue & Harvey are fabulous host, nothing but friendly and inviting. Fantastic room with outside courtyard, with views over Whitangi. Great breakfast. Nothing

• Gibbs (10/5): Can we come again please!! - A beautiful place on this part of the Coromandel Peninsula. Sue and Harvey were very welcoming, they even put the flag up, they do this for everyone who stays 😄 We loved it all.
• Peter (10/5): Comfortable room, panoramic view, peaceful location, great hospitality - We had a great time staying at Ohuka, our second time here. The room is very comfortable, spacious, modern, and with a wonderful view of the hills and the bay. The location is peaceful, up above Whitianga but with close access to the town and the beaches. Above all we appreciated visiting with the hosts, who are so friendly and welcoming, while having breakfast, which was plentiful and delicious. We would return again when we can.
• Raman (10/5): Exceptional - Sue & Harvey are amazing hosts. The rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. It felt like a home away from home. The location provides amazing views of Whitianga however you will need a car to get around. It's really hard to find anything to dislike. The stay and hospitality was outstanding.
• Jeff (10/5): Amazing! - Harvey and Sue were such kind, incredible hosts. Their home was so cozy and they made us feel so welcomed. The house was clean, spacious, and had gorgeous views. Highly recommend staying with them!
• Kandv (9/5): Lovely hosts, spacious room, comfortable bed, quiet setting, great breakfast. - Sue and Harvey are friendly and helpful hosts, who provide a delicious breakfast. The homestay is a short drive from town with rural outlook and a sea view. The room and bathroom are spacious, very comfortably furnished and beautifully clean. We really enjoyed our stay :-)
• Mick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jonathan (10/5): Super hospitable, beautiful house -
• Katharine (10/5): Lovely hosts who provided exceptional hospitality in a stunning location. - The owners were so welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was large, with a very comfortable bed & lovely en suite shower room. The views were stunning & it was in a great location to visit the area. We loved everything about this B&B. It was really perfect & we would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
• Timothy (9/5): very relaxing in a beautiful part of the world - very nice homestead with a couple of furry friends (cats) to keep you company. Great location. very quiet and peaceful. Sue and Harvey provided a great breakfast with good conversation and recommendations for dining and daily activities.
• Prapas (9/5): Superb -
• Craig (10/5): A wonderful experience :) - The location was very scenic. The room was large and equipped with all the items a person would need on their holiday. The shower was hot with good pressure. Towels were soft and fluffy and fresh milk was provided to the fridge. Nothing. It was lovely.
• Teresa (10/5): Lovely chill out destination - Excellent place to relax or chill. Beautiful view. Rooms very large, comfortable, clean, well appointed. Ample full breakfast with concern for guest's preferences. Very friendly and accommodating hosts. It was not a negative for me, but the location would not suit those who want to be in the middle of the action. It's a fair way out of town with no public transport, so you need a car. But you wouldn't have the tranquility or the great view in most other spots.
• Chintana (9/5): Enjoyable - Very nice room with wonderful view. Nothing
• Peter (10/5): Outstanding, modern accommodations, expansive view, wonderful hosts. - Super experience staying with Sue and Harvey. The room was outstanding. Comfortable, modern, with a wonderful view of the mountains and the ocean. Above all, we enjoyed the time with the hosts, their friendly breakfast and the time and interest they gave in talking to us and giving advice on travel. We certainly hope to visit again.
• Sara (10/5): Wonderful holidays - The hosts were amazing, they made us feel at home. The shower was perfect and our room had everything we needed with a breathtaking view. Honestly it was the best place we could’ve ever picked. They went beyond the expectations Thank you so much guys we would really recommend your place and we will definitely return
• Marieta (10/5): Beautiful place with amazing view and the friendliest hosts - I loved everything about the place - the amazing view, the room, the spacious bathroom, the little patio, the fact that we even had a grill outside and could have a BBQ. The biggest highlight for me, besides the gorgeous view, were the two super adorable cats. Sue and Harvey are very responsive, helpful and friendly, just excellent hosts. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your place, we had a great time!!

Never like leaving.

• Diklah (8/5): Great view, comfortable. - Great view. Comfortable room. Wifi and shower were great! We paid via booking, but the hosts didn't get the payment. Instead of them handling it vs booking, they expected us to fix the problem even after showing the payment receipt. After we contacted booking support, they addressed the issue directly with them. The location is good but a bit far from the main attractions, so be aware.

• Graham (9/5): Wished we could have stayed longer. - Fantastic views and very peaceful Great breakfast and great hosts Nothing!
• Ian (10/5): Divine views and homely feel. - Incredible views and high quality furnishings. The perfect location for a stay of more than one night. Sue and Harvey are the perfect hosts who provide a lovely welcome yet know how to provide you with the privacy you require for your stay. Full cooked breakfast was a welcomed addition and was not expected. Arriving to find our flag flying to welcome us to their beautiful home was a very special touch. Loved our stay with Sue and Harvey. Nothing. It was a very special stay.
• Ian (10/5): Ohuka Place Homestay definitely has the feel of being at home. Our welcome began with our country flag flying and then b - Incredible views, welcoming hosts and amazing facilities nothing
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb -
• Salina (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay, very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful view.
• Anonymous (10/5): we would recommend this property if you are visiting Whatianga, the breakfast was awesome. - The property was in a stunning location with views over the Peninsula and Sue and Harvey made us feel very welcome, they even put up The Saltire(Scottish Flag) when they heard our accents!
• Philip (9/5): A restful, peaceful stay with two great hosts! - A cooked breakfast on top of the usual Continental breakfast items was welcome! Sue and Harvey made us very welcome and we enjoyed our chats with them over breakfast and out in their garden. Our room and ensuite were very well appointed. Being up in the hills north of Whitianga meant a quiet stay, but still within a 10 minute drive to downtown. Nothing really: it was all as advertised on their personal website and was exactly what we were looking for.
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Peaceful and quiet. Comfortable and like home. Big king size bed. Microwave available for DIY meals. Cutlery and crockery supplied. Hosts were very nice, friendly and helpful traditional New Zealanders. Great cooked breakfast. Cats live here, and next doors dogs greeted me. Birds tweeting in the morning. All good for me, as I had transport, but it's way up a hill at the back of town, about 2.5 k from the centre, so you need a vehicle.
• Hamish (9/5): A quick comfortable stop over. - Breakfast was great, more than we needed and a choice of cooked or continental. Nothing could have been better, it was quiet, warm and comfortable, the hosts were very amiable and easy to talk to.
• Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Grace (9/5): Superb -
• Andrew (9/5): Superb - spacious and clean room with great breakfast, friendly and helpful host house is quite far from main road - but you do get a great view!
