Relaxation facing the sea

Relax on NZ's safest beach during the day, walk over the road and shower off outside to enjoy a cold one while watching the ocean and the world go by. Wander down to the beach for the sunset.
Please note: Sky TV is available excluding movie channels.

Start with a fresh oyster entree from Ohiwa Oyster Farm( when in season, 5 minutes drive over the hill), bbq at home or choose from local eateries Chez Louis' French pizzeria, or the newly opened Cadera (Mexican). Or you can enjoy good ol' kiwi favourites, fish and chips on the beach. Whakatane is 15 minutes over the hill for a bigger selection of eateries.

We have one, 1 bedroom downstairs unit which was freshly renovated in October 2016. Ideal for a couple, or for a small family, it is private and has seperate entry to the main house. There is double off street parking in front of the unit. Outdoor bbq and table setting with lawn area.

There is plenty to do in Ohope including a day trip to NZ's most active volcano, White Island. Enjoy coastal walks, Awakeri Hotpools, a round of golf at Ohope International Golf Club (5mins) and fresh berry ice creams at Julian's Berry farm (20mins).

Come and relax at this beautiful location and fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

Little piece of paradise!
On a short-term work assignment, I was looking for somewhere I could feel at home - and I found it. Perfect size for one, immaculately clean and tidy, comfy and cozy! Lynda has been a wonderful host - especially for me being new to the area. Great location - literally a ten second walk to the beach - and away from the hustle and bustle of town. Thoroughly recommend - will come back again!

Had the best time at Lynda’s place. Right across the road from the beach and all the amenities to make a pleasurable stay. Place is decked out for all ages, and is private and cool during the hot period. We will be back next summer!

Bliss!
Beautifully presented downstairs area of the main house, clean and tidy and super lovely hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and the short walk across the road to the beach was perfect. A really lovely spot and we would love to stay again… my little man enjoyed the chocolates and the morning visits from the friendly cat!

Really appreciate the little extras to make us feel more welcome. Quality towels, teas/ coffee, little bowl of chocolates, body wash and shampoos in the draw. While it’s under someone’s home, other than to welcome us,it felt like we were on our own. Really enjoyed our stay

There's nothing better than waking up knowing that the sand and sea is literally just across the road. The flat was clean, well stocked and well looked after. Close to everything we needed and the owners were easy to deal with and talk to. We will definitely check availability of this property first when we come this way again!
