Simply stunning

The loft was exactly as described and seen in the photos. Anita was there to greet us and the apartment was thoroughly cleaned. She had kindly left us a few items to get us started and recommended the explorer for a wonderful day out in the Bay. Would certainly recommend to friends.

Outstanding Opua Accommodation

Wonderful stay in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Anita was very helpful and easy to work with, and she was there to greet us when we arrived. The Loft is a beautiful space with all the amenities you could want, and very easy place from which to explore the Bay. Thanks Anita and Matthew for a fabulous family stay.

Great location, great view, great rental

The view of the harbor from the 2nd story porch was very picturesque - the noise from the boats or the ferry never bothered us. There was a general store nearby for some supplies, but most shopping required a bigger store. The location was near enough to Paihia for restaurants when we didn't feel like cooking. The kitchen was well equipped and had enough stainless steel countertop to make workspace for the cutting boards, etc. The 2 under-counter fridges were sufficient for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well situated and everything needed was there. The whole rental was very well layed out and furnished. The host, Anita, greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to relax.

About the host

Hosted by Anita Jane Hood

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.
