Ohope Heights is located up high amongst the Pohutukawa forest over-looking Ohope Beach, and the Central Ohope shops. It is a two minute walk to Cadera, a Mexican restaurant or to The Quay, a beachside cafe. Our favourite restaurant in Ohope is Fishermans Wharf Cafe, a 6.6 km drive and overlooking the Ohiwa Harbour. An amazing experience is a visit to White Island, we are only 5.7 km to Peejays, White island Tours. We are happy to book this for you. If you are into golf then the Ohope International Golf Course is a must. Walking Tracks such as Nga Tapuwae o Toi walkway is at our doorstep. These spectacular bush walkways are not to be missed. Also for the cyclist we have great cycle rides close by. Tony is the current Mayor of the District so he can help you with information on anything you may want to know, and Linda is a Head of Department at Whakatane High School. They both love meeting people, and sharing a little of their paradise. Ohope Heights is up one of the steepest driveways in Ohope. It is fine to drive up. Our advice is to select low gear and just simply drive up and park outside the garage of the middle light brown house at the top. You will see our sign Ohope Heights at the top as you approach Ohope Heights.

Amazing place. Unfortunately our trip was cut short but we look forward to hopefully coming back in the future as the place was relaxing, and super handily located to the beach and shops.
Fantastic private terrace overlooking Ōhope Beach. Lovely welcome pack included & very peaceful at night. Owners were very respectful of our privacy & check in & check out instructions were easy. A wonderful stay overall.
Ohope Heights is in a prime spot, so close to cafes/eateries, and there are absolutely stunning views from the living area/balcony. The apartment was very clean when we arrived, and the hosts really seem to care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment.

Beautiful view, comfy bed, very well stocked kitchen ,nice outdoor sitting area, barbecue and lots of treats left for us..thank you you have a lovely spot
We really enjoyed the amazing view and the cozy apartment. The hosts are very welcoming and recommended some nice restaurants near by, especially Cadera which is really great and just 2 minutes on foot away! Very nice location, would love to come back!
This is an excellent place. It is well appointed, comfy and cosy. The hosts added touches like a bowl of fruit and a jar of jam biscuits. Highly recommended at the price - great value.
Spectacular views, 5 star hotel quality. Lovely apartment with amazing sea views and lots of extra touches. A very handy location with a good workout if you walk to the beach ☺️

Signage to unit extremely poor.4 homes at top of a very steep driveway better signage to unit. Door was unlocked and no one around steep slope to side door. For seniors or anyone with a medical condition not user friendly. Unit itself very well appointed no complaints there

We are sorry you had trouble finding the unit. We have renewed signage and we will improve our messaging about the steep drive and being on a hill.
We are pleased once you got to us you did enjoy your time in Ohope. I do hope you enjoyed Ohope Beach
Perfect location in the heart of Ohope beach. Well appointed and very clean. Generous beds with quality bedding. Stunning view of the ocean. Had everything we needed and more. Wished we stayed longer.
The spectacular views are worth tackling the driveway for!! This is a very comfortable apartment and well placed for the beach and local eateries. Great place to stay in an area full of interesting things to do. Strongly recommend the Margaritas across the road at Cadera
What a delightful place to stay. Right across the road from bars and cafe's and the beach. Tony and Linda were lovely hosts and the room offered lots of complementary extras. We also were so pleased to be offered a late checkout too.

The spectacular views from the apartment not only gives you a helicopter view of Ohope Beach, it is walking distance to three cafes and one restaurant plus the local Surf Life Saving clubs patrolled swimming beach is just opposite. It is only 7 minutes drive to Whakatane and the office of White Island Tours. On top of all this the property is private from the road.
