Riverhead Guest House is situated on the upper end of the Hokianga Harbour at Horeke overlooking the head of the tidal harbour and the mouth of the Waihou River.  It is a fine old kauri colonial style house, which was built in 1871 and extended and 'modernised' in 1912.  It remained unchanged from that time until the early 1980's when it was bought, resited and restored by the Holdaway family who resided in it for approximately 20 years.

	Your hosts - Ray and Lauraine Hatton - took ownership in 2003, and have since redecorated, restored and maintained original features such as the varnished woodwork and polished brass fittings.  Today we also have the benefit of modern appliances expected in a modern guest house.
	Rates are very reasonable, and include Bed and Breakfast rate, or Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.  Prices are from $70 per night single and $95 per night double. The site, and the self-evident character of the house induce an ambience of tranquility and repose, which can be appreciated by guests.  Your hosts will make every effort to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
	Horeke is very central to the mid and far north, and day trips are easily made to the Bay of Islands, Kaitaia, Ninety Mile Beach, Whangaroa, Mangonui, Opononi, Waipoua Forest and the West Coast beaches.  It is within minutes of Puketi and Omahuta Forests or the quaint old riverside townships of Hokianga.

Riverhead Guest House can be found by turning south off the State Highway 1 approximately 15km north of Okaihau at the 'Horeke' signpost, and following the road signs to Horeke for a distance of about 10km.  
If you are travelling on the Twin Coast Discovery Tour from Waipoua Forest, turn left past the Taheke Hotel at the Riverhead Guest House signpost.  Follow the road for 17km into Horeke. 
The house is a prominent landmark in the village and is signposted to show the entrance to the driveway.
