    Wisteria Way is not merely accommodation, it is a destination! The gardens are spectacular. The facilities are adequate and the decor is downright charming. Teresa and, sorry mate I forgot her husband's name 🤦🏽, were wonderful and the nicest...

    Absolute gem of a find! Perfect stop off when exploring the twin coasts. I would have very happily stayed several nights if I wasn't so short on time. Everything was thought of, stunning setting, friendly hosts (and guests)

Opening in December 2022, our vision of creating a lovely space for travelers to stop and experience the special character and beauty of the Hokianga area, the Waipoua Forest, west coast beaches and the people that call it home. Our guests have loved the peace and tranquility of Wisteria Way - we have loved creating the space and sharing it with travelers from far and wide - from all corners of Aotearoa and so many far away places around the world. We invite you to visit, sit in the garden, listen to the birds, enjoy the ever changing gardens and create a memory to treasure. .

Property info

Nestled in pretty cottage gardens and surrounded by the beautiful native bush and hills of Wekaweka and Waimamaku valleys, our cottages and little coffee, crafts & gift shop are just a few minutes drive from the Waipoua Forest, the majestic kauri tree - Tane Mahuta and the other unique attractions of Hokianga. After a day exploring or as you pass through on your travels, our rustic country style cottages provide a restful and unique place to stop for the night or longer. Wake up to fresh country air and enjoy a pre-booked breakfast from our range of cafe style options in the garden at our little coffee shop or take it back to your cottage and breakfast on your verandah. Sip on a flat white or latte then venture out for the day's adventures in beautiful Hokianga and Northland. With meandering pathways through cottage gardens, our cottages are a quiet and restful place to stop for a night or for a while, gather with friends or family or prepare for the cycle climb into Waipoua Forest. Sleeping in one of our private cottages or the mixed dorm cottage, all sharing our lovely bathrooms, kitchen and common room facilities gives you a range of price options to choose from. Modern day technology is just a click away with t.v in the 2 private cottages and the common room and free wifi throughout so you can keep in touch and share your travel stories with friends and family.

Heading north? Wisteria Way is just 10 minutes from the Hokianga Harbour and all it's attractions. Spend the day at the beach - then rest for the evening in the gentle touch of green bush, hills and countryside. Heading south ? Waipoua Forest is just up the road so stop and see the wonder of Tane Mahuta. Want to explore more of the Hokianga - book a couple of nights, relax and enjoy.
