Set on 1/2 acre of flat land with nice easy care gardens with a large deck, your options are endless. Fishing at the point, a 10 minute walk away is a local spot for catching dinner, kayaking right in front of the bach, numerous bushwalks, reading books, watching sunset/sunrises, looking out for seals, orcas, collecting pippi's, cockels or scallops when the tide is out or simple crab hunting to name a few. Koutu Point Boulders are an attraction that most visitors to the area see, learn about Opo the Dolphin who attracted thousands of visitors in the 1950's, visit the monthly Saturday local market, cross the harbour to the Sand Dunes to spend the day sliding down the banks or cross the bar into big game fishing territory! With only one neighbour this property is very quiet with plenty of car parking space too. You will not be disappointed. A Four Square, Bar, Restaurant, Cafe, Information Shop, Garage, RSA, Ice Cream, Fish and Chips Shop and the Copthorne Hotel all close by to cater to every need.

It has everything we needed and the location was absolutely perfect. Its basic, yes, but it was cozy with the fire during a cold rainy day and Opononi township is a few minutes drive for a hot meal or icecream. Safe swimming, fishing and floundering. The kids loved it and so did we. Linda was a great host with fast responses to questions and was always available if we needed anything. It was the best 4 day break on the coast we've had in years. We would love to come back. ##### Hope H.

It was great that phone contact was limited to having to go outside to gain reception. The bach was located which offered you views of stars at night and a panoramic ocean view right from the main bedroom or from the lounge. We went kyaking although their was a slow leak in the kyak. It didnt effect the experience as you felt safe and it made it a most fun time with our small family of 3 We would certainly recommend this bach and have no hesitation to book again Thankyou to Linda the host ##### Tania K.
