Beautiful place to stay

We loved everything at this beautiful place, it’s literally 1 min to the beach and there’s so much to do! The apartment is spotless clean, has everything you need and the little garden was perfect to sit outside and put on the barbie. Sandra was very helpful and an amazing host. Thanks for having us!

Fabulous Gem

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was a very short walk to the beach, and we could relax, hearing the ocean waves at night. The owners were delightful, and the whole experience was the best. We would recommend this to anyone wishing to enjoy Ohope Beach. 5 Star rating

Lovely getaway

Sandra’s unit is wonderful. It is spotlessly clean and superbly appointed with high quality wine glasses, kitchen utensils and dining apparel. It is tastefully decorated. There is a quality bbq and a lovely sheltered grassy area with a picnic table conducive to afternoon refreshments and al fresco dining. We loved our stay here and will definitely return.

A blissful stay in Ōhope

A very nice spot on the East Coast of Aotearoa. Everything we needed was in close proximity. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend to anyone passing through the area, especially small families or a couples retreat. The set up was clean and tidy, and had all amenities. Thank you Sandra for your hospitality! PS the Easter eggs were a lovely treat. Hope to be back again soon.

It was great to have a sizeable fridge freezer and a regular stove. Very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Instructions were good.There was some footfall noise from above, and we didnt expect a visit from the host through the adjoining door, which is not shown in the photos, rather than the main entrance.That being said, a very friendly , helpful host.

The unit was very clean & comfortable. The kitchen is a small space but adequate for a chilled weekend. Sandra & Barry are very thoughtful & considerate hosts. They went above & beyond to make our weekend easy, comfortable and chilled. Great position for easy access to the beach..Lovely weekend thank you.

Best long weekend away thanks to Sandra and Barrie

Everything about this unit was perfect, from the moment we arrived we felt at home and comfortable. It was incredibly clean and had all the amenities we needed. We loved the short stroll to the beach but even better we loved how we were so close to the wharf as that’s a favourite spot of ours. If you ever have the chance to stay in Ohope, Sandra and Barrie will make you feel most welcome in there beautiful unit. Thanks again we had the best weekend away!
