Summary: Very nice property. Enjoyed our time there. It was a bit disappointing to find that, in order to use the kyak, you need to carry down, then up a fairly steep hill. So guests should be warned usage of the kyak takes significant effort and strength each time you want to use, as you can't leave it down a the beach without the threat of being stolen. But the home itself is lovely.

Summary: What an absolute gem of a property. The views - WOW! The peacefulness - BLISS! The location was perfect with a lovely walk around to the marina. Our kids had a great time exploring (and off their devices lol) The home was perfect for our whanau and friends. Looking forward to coming back again.

Summary: Plenty of room for two families of three. The deck with covered and uncovered seating was a great extension of the house. Getting a big boat down the drive would be difficult. We put the boat in the marina which made it super easy for heading out on the water. Having the bikes and kayaks available was a real bonus.

Summary: We loved the setting of this house with an outlook over the water and surrounded by bush full of very vocal birds. The house is very well set-up, and we appreciated that it's comfortable rather than super flash - which means dogs and children are welcome. It's great having walking access to the coastal trail and marina - we wandered down to the waterfront every day. The driveway is steep but you could get a small boat down there as the listing says. We chose to hire a marina berth which was very convenient. I would definitely recommend this place for a great holiday - my only reservation is for those with asthma as the bedrooms are a little musty.

Summary: This house is very spacious with lots of areas to relax and perfect for our big family group, from my 12 yr old nephew to my 79 yr old mum. The deck is huge and the views are amazing, its so peaceful looking out across the bush and water. Serena was just lovely to communicate with and very accommodating and helpful. We used the kayaks and had a wonderful explore on the water from the nearby little beach. Also used the bikes to cycle into Kawakawa - the nearby bike trail is fantastic. So much to do in the area .This is a really good base for adventures. House had everything we needed, kitchen, BBQ etc and we all loved it. Thank you!

Summary: We loved our New Years getaway at the Opua bach, this place was a beautiful sanctuary. Surrounded by trees and the deafening sound of the cicadas we never wanted to leave. The house worked well for the 8 of us that stayed for 4 nights, including celebrating New Years on the deck. Great indoor outdoor flow with loads of seating. The spa was a little neglected and needed new water, unfortunately stopped us from using it much. Overall we had a fantastic time with relaxing days here.
