About this property

Ohope Beach Cottage, so close to the beach!

The cottage offers a great beach retreat or family holiday accomodation in Ohope. It is ideal for an easy, relaxed stay in lovely Ohope and can be handy place for extra guests to stay here at the beach. Access to the beach through the neighbouring reserve is less than 50m, without crossing the road, making it great for kids. It is all onn one level so easy for less mobile people.

The cottage is within easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants, the local art gallery, the Ohope Surf Club and great coastal and bush walking tracks making it a great spot to enjoy all that Ohope has to offer.

The cottage is self-contained, with a car park out the front, making it easy to come and go as you please. The cottage has also recently been renovated making it modern, clean and simple so that you can have a relaxing and comfortable stay.


The property is close to the road and while we have tried to minimize the road noise with double glazed windows and trees, please expect some traffic noise.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included)

Two night minimum for all stays.
The pullout sofa/bed is no longer in the living area so the cottage sleeps 4 not 5 people.There is a two seater sofa in lounge now.

Lovely host, tidy property, recommended :)

Communication was prompt and a smooth check in and check out process. I was lucky enough to meet Kath, who is a lovely lady and a very welcoming host. The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for the weekend. The property is situated next to a great little walkway to the beach and was handy to find a 4 square just down the road. Although the weather during our stay wasn't great, We enjoyed our home away from home family/sports weekend. Thank you Kath, we hope to return in the near future to enjoy the summer weather :)

Holiday stay

Not really that suitable to stay in all day because of the weather and with a little boy. Property not overly clean and wasn't that impressed wasn't able to move in until 4.00pm on Saturday. Very noisy as close to the road and wasn't pleased about being blocked in by your visitors.I thought we had to keep the driveway clear, doesn't that apply to your visitors.
