Brilliant place to stay!
We had such a fab time in Opunake especially thanks to Suzie and her awesome pad. The bach is trueoldschool Kiwiana and comfortably fit our two families of two adults and four kids. Great property for kids to play outside with plenty of space, safe bike storage and nice and warm in this colder weather. Thank you for the milk and cookies that you left for us - what a treat. We hope to be back and reccommend this place to all!

Everything there for family stay. House needs exterior wash but interior cosy with excellent furnishings and heating. Towel rail in bathroom was broken and bath/shower adequate but basic. Very handy to shops and cliff walkway.
