Hidden paradise

Although the weather didn’t play ball that is putting it mildly!!! We had a great stay at this quiet beach 😎 House fully equipped with plenty of fridge & freezer room which was needed for our 12 nights with 4 adult & 1 teen. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all with no Wifi!! 😳

Stay in Opito Paradise

This property was very well situated for access to the beach and walks along the waterfront. Communication from the owners was excellent and we were lucky to be the first to use the new kitchen which was beautiful. Large, with everything that you could wish for in appliances, storage, crockery, cutlery and utensils.The BBQ was great.The bedroom configuration was almost perfect, we were a party of 9 adults and didn't realise that the fifth bedroom was a garage space - someone had to miss out on the views from the bedroom and be in a thoroughfare.That did not distract from our enjoyment of our stay, which was a time for catching up with family and enjoying the peace and beauty of Opito Bay.An excellent location and the accommodation was everything that we could wish for, unanimous agreement from us all.Thank you.Theresa

Beautiful home in a beautiful location

My family and I had the most amazing time in Opito Bay! Joy and Phillip were so easy to communicate with and provided easy to understand instructions regarding our stay. The home itself had all we needed and more. Everything was provided and flexibility with check in and check out times made it easier. We made a lot of great memories whilst there and plan to rebook next year. Thanks Joy and Phillip :)

Great place to stay

Really enjoyed our time at Opito Bay. Awesome house to stay with all the tools for a good trip. Sadly the weather was not too good on our last two days. But we got out there for a fish and a dive. Caught some really good Kahawai, Snapper and Trevally. We will definitely be back for Summer.

A wonderful base for our holiday; warmly recommended

Joy and the local agent Colin were great; the bach was really well equipped and we had a wonderful time at Opito. The only glitch for us, coming from the UK, was that the website said that we had to bring our "own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels)", but in fact that was all provided.
