Thanks for a great stay in Opunake: the constantly changing sight of Mt Taranaki out the window; beautifully mown, big back lawn for ball-chasing dog; best frying pan I've encountered in a bach. Appreciated being given the option of parking inside the perimeter fence, especially on arrival in pouring rain! Craig was an excellent host communicating promptly. Also enjoyed bath, log burner and bbq (though we needed to clean off previous occupants' grease and empty ashes before starting the fire. Also one couch had lost a few springs/inner padding) These were anomalies though in an otherwise very clean, tidy, well presented place.

6 / 10Average·Jan 2022
The surf highway was an fantastic short break experience! Opunaki seemed to be right in the middle of it all with it awesome coast line and beach. The property was very clean and we couldn’t fault the location or the size of the house & garden. However it was very basic, no lamps by the beside to read at night, no coat hangers or drawers for our clothes and no extra bedding was left out as the first night was cold. For the price I would have expected those. The furniture in lounge was old and smelt musty so we were slightly disappointed with the property. However if the owner rectifies the above, the accommodation would be somewhere to consider especially if it’s pricing is inline with the other properties in the area.
