About this property

Ocean, Art and the Garden

Close to beach, great ocean views, garden setting, artworks and wifi. Five minutes from CBD.

Enjoy fresh produce from the garden during your stay. Fresh fruit, veges, and herbs for a salad. The owners have a wonderful art collection that overflows to this charming apartment, and an extensive and diverse garden to wander through.
Although the owners are nearby the setting provides seclusion. There is wonderful bird life and view of the beach below. The double bedroom looks out to sea, and there is a separate lounge with TV, couch bed, and bathroom with shower, and a compact kitchen. There is a North facing patio. This place is a wonderful place to chill and read a book, or a base for a visit to local potters or events in the area.
You can trek overland to get to Waiotahi beach below, over a few fences, or just a short drive away if you don’t want to walk back uphill.

Note:
There is an option for parents to put up a small tent if they have children at an additional cost of $10 per night. This is limited to children only.

Guests will need to collect the key from 38 Church Street Opotiki. If arriving outside of office hours guests will need to make arrangements with the property managers prior to arrival.

Property Managers are available to contact during your stay. The property owners live on site also but give guests there own space as the dwellings are separate.

Secluded private property within walking distance to Waiotahe Beach. Beautiful garden setting that is there for guest enjoyment.

You will drive to the property and will need a car to get to town, although you can walk down to the beach.
There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Regret staying
Place was lacking privacy. Photo showed beach close by but it was on opposite side of main road about 10min. No outside light on deck no shelter from rain. No where to park undercover to load and unload and it was heavy rain so everything got wet. Pretty average to be honest.

Opotiki tonic
We just loved staying here, the solitude and peace after a busy time with friends and family were an absolute tonic and the Bach is so stylishly and delightfully appointed. We even enjoyed fresh lettuce, parsley and basil from the garden. Highly recommended…

Opotiki Experience
Marie and Tom were very lovely hosts. They greeted us with warmth and in a welcoming manner. Our stay was fabulous, the accommodation was spotlessly clean and inviting. The views amazing from the deck. We foraged in the garden as suggested, so many veges for us. Thank you both, we will be back!

Secret Garden
What a surprise find. Close to a great beach, great views from the property and a magnificent garden that we were encouraged to roam. The unit was stocked with everything you needed and more. All very good quality products, fresh flower arrangements from the garden greeted us. We were very comfortable. Great shower! The owners live next door and you couldn’t have asked for nicer neighbours. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you. Jocelyn

Great accommodation in lovely garden settings
We very much enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is tasteful and comfy, the garden setting just lovely and the surplus produce we were allowed to help ourselves to delicious! Accommodation is in close proximity to the owners but it's very private and the owners very nice. Easy drive down to the beach or into Ōpōtiki and further afield.
