Ohaeawai Hotel

What happens when 4 islanders walk into this hotel??YOU GET TURNED AWAY!!!VERY DISAPPOINTED AT THE WAY WE WERE TREATED. While attending a funeral in Omanaia (from Auckland), we needed accommodation. I called the hotel where he stated he had rooms available, gave me the price and I advised I was on my way there (being 30 minutes away) he said, yip no worries i'll hold the rooms for you until 9pm (contacted him approx. 8pm) as we were 5 minutes away, I called again to let him know no worries see you shortly"We walked into the hotel and told him we were the ones who booked the rooms for 4"oh sorry we're fully booked""but we just called you and you said you had rooms available""yeah sorry another place referred their overflow to us so we need to take them on first sorry"SO DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED. Left us stranded in an unfamiliar town

Lovely heritage building. Clean rooms and quiet. Ray the owner/manager is a lovely host. Would definately come here again.

The is a great spot to stop and enjoy clean comfortable rooms, toasty hot showers, nice cold beer, separate dining area and yummy meals cooked and served by the lovely owner Ray! highly recommended - close to the authentic Ngawha hot pools, Kaikohe and KeriKeri - I'll be back!

I absolutely LOVED this place. The Owner , Ray , was very helpful and friendly and the vintage decor just awesomely charming. Has an amazing pub attached to it. You really feel like you are stepping back in time staying at this amazingly quirky old Hotel. Sitting out on the front deck just watching the sleepy village below was perfect. This was a very cool spot to break my journey from Cape Reinga to Kerikeri. Cheap place to stay at only 40nzd a night with super strong wifi. Built in the 1860s. amazing

Ray was the most hospitable host we could have had. His cuisine was fab, tasty and nourishing to build our strength for the wonderful twin cycle trail. Thank you Ray, we will return.

This charming historic hotel is centrally located for the Northland cycling trail and its proximity to the Naptha thermal pools is an added bonus. Our accommodation as well as the shared facilities were clean and comfortable. Rae cooked us hearty dinners with heaps of vegetables . Rae was a charming host. Thank you Rae.Sheila and Salim

This is a great place to stay. It's an old pub with a rich history. If you're into luxury, this isn't the place for you. However if you want some good old fashioned hospitality then look no further. Ray was very welcoming as were the other locals we bumped into.My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of staying in an old pub in a beautiful area. If you're like us, you normally just drive past places like this - I recommend that you stop a night and soak it all in.And speaking of soaking, be sure to visit Ngawha springs just down the road.

Never again. Stayed for a week. The grumpy publican closed the bar at 9.pm every night and closed the pool table at 9.30pm. Treated like 10 year olds. There was a constant stream of logging trucks from 2am and every 15mins there after. Minus zero rating

Owner was a lazy, rude, and unhelpful man.And the hotchip shop dude next door with the heavy-drinking at 9am wasn't much different.Definitely wouldn't recommend.Nice building though! Pity the experience I had was terrible..
