A great place to stay for a family get away , lots of space, awesome outside area with a large lawn.

Great location, hop skip and jump away from the main beach, look out, walk ways and fishing spots. Thank-you for letting us stay we all had a great family holiday ☺️

The perfect get-away

My dog and I were looking for a break, and it was lovely to find this spacious, secure property in an attractive township with the two beaches nearby - the house, the section and the location meant that I could fully relax without worrying about the dog - who enjoyed the break as much as I did!

Opunake getaway

The property managers are great communicators. It was a good spot for a friend and I with a couple of dogs. Always nice to find a good place that allows for you to bring the dogs! I’d stay again - clean and tidy, fire to keep warm and not far from the beach and shops.

Fabulous fenced backyard

Great Kiwi bach close to two beaches & the Opunake loop walk. Fabulous backyard - fully fenced so great for dogs & kids. Very good communication with owner- we were there during a storm that partially pushed over the fence & they were very responsive. Would stay there again :-)

Opunaki Stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the house is open and has a relaxing to stay in. We may come back sometime in the future. The weather didn't play ball only got a glimpes of the mountain on Monday coming back from Whanganui. It was a great stay myself and my wife enjoyed the atmosphere.

Awesome spot for a beach getaway

Great bach, spacious and clean with an awesome backyard and walking distance to the beach. Only improvement would be a few more utensils in the kitchen - we were a group of 8 and there weren't enough forks or bowls for us all to eat at the same time. Apart from that we loved our stay!

Opunake Sojourn

I didn't stay nor did I visit but my friends stayed -only one night. They said the accommodation was great, the only issue was they couldn't get either gate to the property open so had to climb the fence in the front to get access.

Relaxing and Quiet

The bach had everything we needed. We had 2 families staying. It was an easy short walk to the fabulous beach. Large section and very clean and tidy. The pillows just need an upgrade and the pull out couch/bed was a little uncomfortable. Otherwise excellent!

Bach on Dorset

Great little batch. Good location with easy access to beaches, four square, cafes. House was clean amd tidy with plenty of blankets and a good selection dvds, and kids games/puzzles. The backyard was a real treat with a shed packed with kids fun. The kites were a real hit. Couch could do with an upgrade.

Sadly Opunake did not turn on the weather so spent more time inside but the fire was amazing. Beds were comfortable we had a problem getting TV going but Craig was quick an helpful. We did get the ski going.

This is a kiwi batch with great linen

Absolutely loved staying here. And the fire was so amazing as we got a bit of cold rain for a couple days. Back yard is awesome and kitchen it's fantastic to cook in. I'm a linen snob haha beds are beautiful comfy and pillows are great. I'll be booking ever summer now I've stayed in high end places and this place has everything. Only thing is the padlock has rusted up can't be used but no dramas and being women we did need a couple extra towels as washing towels everyday seamed like a waste of power. But thank you so much. And thank you for all ya replies when I contacted u. Love this place.

This property is perfect for a family or group of friends holiday. It was great to arrive after a long drive to find everything so clean and tidy. It would be great in the winter too with the wood burner.
