Fantastic Place!

We had a fantastic time! The place was lovely, with outstanding views and a perfect location—close to the market, coffee shops, and just a short walk to the Arai te Uru summit. It's the ideal spot to relax and enjoy quality family time.We will definitely be back!

Incredible views...fabulous host!

GB is such a wonderful host, and the bach is brilliant. Incredible views. The house works really well, plenty of space and did I mention the views? The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment, a huge oven and plenty of bench space. Would highly recommend it.

Highly Recommend GB Grand, Ōmāpere

Our whānau had the most wonderful stay at GB Grand Bach. Beautiful, clean property with the most incredible views of the Hokianga Harbour. Extremely friendly and welcoming host, making sure you have everything you need. She also has lovely mokopuna that my daughter enjoyed playing with and made good use of the trampoline. Only a short walk to the beach and lookout point. Highly recommend for a relaxing time away.

Highly recommend. Best place to stay in Omapere!

Great communication prior. Check in was easy. House is so lovely. We are determined to come back again! Expansive views over the harbour, and a deck with a shade cover which is superb. Kitchen is very thoughtfully set up. Comfy beds. Worth being aware you need to go through the whanau room to get to the other bedrooms. Lovely little track down to road by beach. (5 mins walk). 5 mins walk to good coffee.
