About the host

Hosted by Anita Jane Hood

Host profile image
Our family have been visiting The Bay of Islands for over forty years and have called Opua home for the last eight years. We love the location, the weather, the friendly locals and the relaxed lifestyle. Walking the great outdoors and spending time on the water - sailing, fishing, kayaking and swimming make for a great lifestyle or breakaway.
Our love of cooking and food in general is inspired by the amazing range of local produce, from oysters and wine to the abundance of fruits, vegetables, honey and olive oils.
