Pukenui Lodge Motel & Backpackers
New Zealand's northernmost motel, Pukenui Lodge, is set amongst beautiful semi-tropical gardens with spectacular views over the picturesque Houhora harbour. Secluded and private, our Northland motel accommodation is the perfect place to escape and unwind. Just up the harbour from Houhora Heads, Pukenui is a small fishing village which has views stretching up and down the scenic harbour. Located 70 km south of Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of New Zealand, and only a 10-minute drive to Ninety-Mile Beach, Pukenui is a truly breathtaking spot.

The Far North has a special atmosphere, as it is off the main tourism routes for those holidaying in a hurry. But for those who have time to explore, the Far North offers some truly memorable spots that are well worth taking the time to visit.
The country's northernmost point, Cape Reinga is a popular destination for excursions and day-trippers. With its historic lighthouse perched high above the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea, the Cape offers magnificent sea views. Cape Reinga is also a spiritually important landmark for Maori as the departure point for spirits.
Situated on the narrow Aupouri Peninsula leading to Cape Reinga, you will find Houhora where you can enjoy game fishing, boating, surfcasting, surfing and swimming.
Just 12km to the west of Houhora, Ninety Mile Beach provides a dramatic contrast to the gentle bays of the east coast. This wild stretch of surf and sand is popular for fishing. Taking a drive up 90 Mile Beach is an awesome experience, with tuatua (shellfish) to gather at low tide, and the landscape to view.
Actually only about 100 km (64 miles) long, this is the only beach in New Zealand classed as an open road. Tour buses often drive passengers along the beach on route to Cape Reinga.
