Not our first visit and won't be last.
Excellent property. Kids love the bunks and being across rd from beach and playground. Unit is great size for families and has everything you need for a mini break or longer stay. Good wifi. Recommend also the walking distance cafe and restaurant.

We found the clean and well laid out apartment as an ideal solution for what was required, just somewhere to totally relax and unwind, you have the beauty of the beach across the road and anything you might need just over the hill in the city, a lovely spot.

We had an amazing holiday in Ohope. Our accommodation was spot-on for our needs and suited us perfectly. Mark and Ali were great hosts and ensured we were comfortable and had what we needed. We are so greatful that you allowed pets as this made going away possible. Thanks again Mark and Ali and look forward to seeing you again in the future on our future excursions to the Bay of Plenty.

Just perfect
I am 52 years old, have been in all sorts of accommodation all over Europe, Australia and NZ and this is undoubtedly my best experience ever for a private accommodation. The place is ideally situated at the waterfront, a short distance from Whakatane; the owners were extremely friendly and helpful whilst being completely unobtrusive; the flat is well kept and clean and has all you can need for a stay. Eateries are close by which was definitively an advantage. Due to personal circumstances, we couldn't get there the first night so the owner offered us to take an extra night instead at no additional charge, which we greatly appreciated. Who still does that in these day and ages?! Thanks Mark and Ali, we will be back next year ;-)

Excellent flat
This is a downstairs flat under a house, just across the road from the park and beach. There are lovely views through pohutakawa from the main bedroom and living area. The place is very well designed, with bunks in the lounge that our kids enjoyed, with a small kitchen that had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

To summarize our stay in one word.............. Faultless 50 metres to the small shopping centre, and more importantly, Cafe's and Coffee. Across the road from the reserve and beach, We couldnt ask for more. The unit was well set up for our stay, and was impeccably clean. Very friendly/informative hosts. The standard set by this unit is very very high. Thoroughly recommended
