Opito Bay is one of the most private, stunning and safest beaches on the Coromandel Peninsula (in fact it is one of the nicest unspoiled beaches in NZ) A beautiful safe spot for great walks, swimming, boogey boarding, diving, fishing and boating - Opito has it all. It is secluded and a fantastic place to holiday.
4 bedrooms (2 upstairs, 2 downstairs), 2 bathrooms,2 toilets, open plan kitchen / dining / lounge. Stunning views from decks on 3 sides of the property complete with BBQ, outdoor tables and umbrellas. Outdoor shower to wash off the sand.
Fully equipped kitchen with pantry and modern conveniences including new double doored fridge
Large sized flat section with plenty of room for parking, over the back fence is farmland. Don't be surprised to see quails and tui's. Outdoor fish filleting facilities perfect for that big snapper or scallops!
For those with mountain bikes there are some good rides and a number of lovely walks to neighbouring Crayfish Bay and Matapaua Bay. It takes about an hour to walk the half-moon shaped sandy beach from end to end.
Opito Bay is a very friendly family orientated place. Sports Day is held on the beach every New Years Day with sandcastle competitions, gumboot throwing, tug-of-war and running races. The perfect spot for the family holiday.
Located at the end of Black Jack Road, Opito is approx 30 minutes drive away from Whitianga and 40 minutes from Coromandel. The small settlement of Kuaotunu (at the start of Black Jack Road) is the nearest place for lovely coffee, pizza and the hugest ice creams ever! There is a local store there that is licensed to sell liquor and the very popular "Luke's Kitchen" for the best pizzas in the whole of the Coromandel!
Opito Bay is paradise and a great location for all, whether its time away relaxing with the family and friends, soaking up the casual beach atmosphere or serious fishing and diving time out around Mercury Islands.

Loved the closeness to the beach and how comfortable the Bach was to stay with the family! It's well equipped and has everything to enjoy your stay - two decks that can be used at different parts of the day, fully equipped kitchen, the use of kayaks etc... Thank you!
An absolute classic old school kiwo bach, felt like being in a family bach. Stunning location and had everything you need. Not flashy or fancy but absolutely perfect, we loved it and cant wait to go back.
Opito bay is an absolutely stunning spot but it wouldn't be the same without staying at Woodstock. Proper batches right across from the water are becoming rarer and rarer so we felt lucky to stay. Will be there again

Thanks for renting our bach, you have been great to deal with in all ways and are welcome back anytime!
Lovely beach to holiday at and a nice, comfortable bach to holiday in! Plenty of room (that goes for parking too), with a spectacular view of the beach. We had fantastic weather for boating, fishing, swimming, walking, and relaxing too of course. 'Luke's Kitchen' was as tasty as ever for a pizza and a cold drink.
We'll be back!

Glad you enjoyed your stay at "Woodstock Inn". You are welcome back anytime.
We had a fab stay at Lynda's place - communication before and after was great, the bach had everything we needed and the location is fantastic.
It was great having the choice of two big outside tables for eating so we could chase the shade, and the view from the deck is lovely.
Kitchen was really well equipped. We didn't use the two kayaks but would be great for people who prefer a bit more activity on their holiday.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday at the beautiful Opito Bay. Thank you for leaving the house so lovely and clean when you left. Shame you didn't get to use the kayaks, but maybe next time!
Great spot, house is older but is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The view from deck and upper front rooms are fabulous. Lynda was lovely to deal with, everything went really smoothly. Highly recommend.

The owners, Lynda and Kevin live in Hamilton New Zealand, but have holidayed at Opito Bay since it was built in 1982.
Why they chose this property
This property has been in our family since it was built by my parents in 1982. It is a good old "Kiwi Bach" with fantastic views and plenty of parking for your boat or jetski. There have been many years of fantastic family holidays spent at "Woodstock Inn" by 3 generations of our family, with many more to come!
What makes this property unique
You can't get more relaxed than Opito Bay! The perfect spot for a relaxed holiday with great fishing & diving.
