Lovely Home in a Lovely Location

This is a lovely, newly built property with a view of the beach and a short stroll across the road to a great cafe, the wharf and beach access. There are a great range of games and comfortable furnishings in the home and a clothesline which dries clothes, swimwear etc in no time. All appliances are full sized which is perfect when travelling with a family. There is little to no reception in the house and no wifi - perfect if you're planning to unplug but could be an issue if you are working remotely. The only issue for us is that the aircon unit doesn't appear to be the correct size for the home, we had hot weather while we were there and even with curtains closed to block sunlight the aircon wasn't able to cool the bedrooms. In saying that, we visited in January so we had very high temperatures. I gave four stars for accuracy of online listing as at the time that we stayed there was little outdoor furniture, just two camping chairs and a camping style table, however the empty deck was clearly shown on the photographs. Overall, you can't go wrong booking the Freese Cottage. A really lovely little home away from home :-)

Amazing Omapere/Opononi.

The accomodation was excellent and we really enjoyed our time there with our family. Nothing like waking up to the beautiful harbour and scenic views and having daily morning and evening swims. Such an amazing and relaxing place. Loved it.

It’s an easy 5 star from us!

I booked this stay for our 6 day family holiday and it provided us with everything we needed. The property was clean, warm, cosy & very homely. Surrounded by nature with mountain views, cows & a stunning view of the ocean it was very easy find myself in a calm, spiritual and meditative state. Communication from property manager was superb and easy to understand. Overall we LOVED our stay and found this home beautiful, calming and soothing for the soul. we would definitely rebook in future. Thanks for having us!
