About this house rental
Family beach house, right across the road from warm waters and safe swimming. Original 1970s Lockwood home, prime location with all day sun and stunning outlook from Whale Island around to Cape Runaway.

https://www.bayofplentynz.com/discover/ohope
Our home has three double bedrooms upstairs and two large rooms downstairs, accommodating up to eleven guests. Ideal for two families cost sharing, or just chilling out and enjoying the space yourself. Double garaging and fully fenced back section, with sufficient room for boat parking.
During the peak season (mid-Dec to mid-Feb) we require bookings for 6 or more people (i.e. $400/night). During off-peak times we will consider offering a discount to children under 16 years if part of a larger group.
This has been a family home for decades and then had a series of long-term tenants. We’ve taken it back! Wallpaper, paint, a (nearly) full makeover and we’re ready to take on summer. Still a few more tidy up jobs to complete but we’re delighted with progress. Come and enjoy :)
BTW - no additional guests in caravans, campers or tents please.

Not only did we wake up to the view and sound of the ocean but this well appointed beach house is located at New Zealand’s best beach.
Loved the family could split off to different areas of the house while still all coming together for dinner. Loved it catered for all ages, had that beachy vibe and all questions we had were handled in a timely manner.
Definitely rate this place and will be back

Wonderful location in a great Kiwi Bach that has everything you need. We went swimming across the road everyday and then walk back to enjoy sea views from the deck. Great for families or friends.

The house met most of our expectations

The main advantage of the house is that it has the beach just across the road, so a daily dip is so easy. The house has an older vibe but comfortably accommodates a large group, has a comfortable lounge set up, brilliant washing machine, and easy walking to the dairy. Perfect for a laid back, low key holiday break. Ohope is the perfect spot for such a stay!

Our stay in Ohope was very good. The location of the property was great, right across the road from the beach. The property was comfortable albeit a bit tired and had a kitchen which was well stocked with utensils. Part of the lower floor was a converted garage and was quite dark. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Property was great, really clean had almost everything we needed. Would have liked more outdoor seating. And the bbq was not useable as probably had not been cleaned by previous guests. Would highly recommend this place.

Our family of 6 had a relaxing 5 days by the beach at this very Kiwi seaside bach. (We loved the flamingo wallpaper!) The house is a classic, but the mod-cons are there with Netflix, a modern washer, and A/C. Highly recommended.

This was a well equipped, very tidy family beach house. We were very comfortable, thank you. A suggestion, we were confused by two lock boxes at the described location.
