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!

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.

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.

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.

When we reached the place at late evening, the lighters were not working and had to pester the owner. There were insects and sort of bug inside the house. It was hard to immediately leave as we came from Auckland but left the next day as our baby didn't sleep all night and our dog who is an indoor pure bred tibetan terrier very clean boy got bitten and was scratching. Its important that you don't expose people's health. We have kept video of the interior and insects. The next day we get a neighbour knocking like a mental on the door saying her cat just got inside the house, we said there's none and were almost about to call the cops. We are a professional couple and thought of taking a break but seriously bookabatch you are in trouble for not vetting info. We have not been refunded or anything but the bigger picture is that it ruined our weekend!

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.

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.

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!

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 :-)

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!

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.

The surf highway was an fantastic short break experience! Opunaki seemed to be right in the middle of it all with it awesome coast line and beach. The property was very clean and we couldn’t fault the location or the size of the house & garden. However it was very basic, no lamps by the beside to read at night, no coat hangers or drawers for our clothes and no extra bedding was left out as the first night was cold. For the price I would have expected those. The furniture in lounge was old and smelt musty so we were slightly disappointed with the property. However if the owner rectifies the above, the accommodation would be somewhere to consider especially if it’s pricing is inline with the other properties in the area.

A great spot with plenty of space for the 6 of us. We loved the big back lawn and we had everything we needed. Letitia clearly communicated what she didn't have and we brought this with us. Any problems and Letitia was very quick to respond and super helpful! We had a fabulous family holiday!
