Relaxing Opo

Had a lovely stay at the bach. Bach was basic but comfortable. No internet or Netflix so it was a good Unplug for the family. Lots to do in Opononi and surrounding area, Kai Iwi lakes worth the drive!

Relaxing stay with superb views

We loved the layout of this house and the incredible views to the Hokianga Harbour and the sand dunes. We saw beautiful sun-sets. Check-in was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. The location was awesome, so close to Opononi 4-Square for groceries and takeaways, and a fantastic base for trips to the Kauri trees and to Rawene. One of the sofas smelt very much like dog, and our daughter with a dog allergy wasn't happy - we would have liked to know about the dog before, and some of the duvets in the bunkroom could have done with an extra wash, as well as the bathroom mirror. We brought our own towels and sheets, but didn't realise we could use the bath mats in the cupboard, but for the price, location and amenities, it was an excellent stay. Thank you for an easy and enjoyable trip.

A lovely place right next to the beach

House and facilities were great, property was clean and tidy. The beach is just across the road, not even a minute of walking is required. The local Four Square is just a few minutes' walk away. A lovely place.
