About this hotel

By the quiet water's edge of the harbour, you'll find the welcoming Copthorne Hotel and Resort Hokianga, and its 33 rooms and suites. Located in Hokianga, just 3 hours north of Auckland, this 4-star Qualmark-rated hotel is an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its beachfront rooms are a minute's stroll from the shore, and rooms with balconies offer magnificent views of the harbour and sand dunes. It's also the ideal base from which to explore Omapere. Discover breathtaking landscapes and rare flora and fauna in Waipoua Forest. Marvel at Tane Mahuta, an ancient Kauri tree as old as 2, 000 years. The beauty here is unlike anywhere else in the country, so stay with us and experience a slice of Kiwi paradise.
