Rawene House | The Tunnel House - Water views & family escape in a historic harbour village

4 Bedroom House in Rawene

Known as the 'tunnel house' or the 'Rawene Hobbit House', this unconventional, quirky, iconic property sits nestled on a hill overlooking the Hokianga Harbour in Rawene.
If you want to truely escape the rat race, The Hokianga is the perfect place to relax, unwind and set your clock to Hokianga Time.
If you’re exploring the Twin Coast Discovery route, you can use Rawene ferry town to base yourself and discover the Hokianga and the Far North.
Opononi/Omapere beach with its breathtaking views great swimming, stunning walks and the famous Opononi sand dunes are less than a 15-minute drive away.
You could catch a boat from Opononi and go sand boarding down the dunes, perhaps do some fishing or if you fancy a wee drive you can find NZs largest Kauri Tree, Tane Mahuta and the Waipoua Kauri Forest less than a 40 minute drive away.
Pop over the ferry to discover historic Kohukohu and the untouched North Hokianga or simply spend some time lounging on the deck and reading a book - time has a way of standing still in the Hokianga.
When you arrive you will find a large deck with a BBQ and outdoor seating, a full kitchen, a full-size fridge, 3 bedrooms inside, a sleep-out just off the deck and a playground for the kids. From here you can wander to Rawene's mangrove walk situated at the bottom of the hill and it's a short 5 min stroll to Rawene village centre where you will find local cafes and shops.
The bed configuration is as follows:
Main House:
Master- queen bed
Tiger room - double bed and single bed

Summary: This house had everything we needed extra linen towels blankets and was well organised. My only issue was the smell in our room the master room which smelt like old storage. The tuis were magnificent and the area was clowe to Ngawha hotsprings for a relaxing soak and reset and kaikohe for extra shopping and essentials. Nothing but the smell in our room was wrong with this. I will visit again.
