When is the best time to go to Waiotahi?

The best time to go to Waiotahi is during the summer months, from December to February, when you'll experience the warmest weather and most sunshine. During this period, Waiotahi Beach is at its most inviting, superb for swimming, sunbathing, and long walks along the shore. The ocean temperatures are ideal for water sports too, making it a great time for activities like surfing or paddleboarding. It's also when local events and markets are most frequent, adding to the holiday atmosphere. For travellers who prefer a quieter experience with pleasant weather, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. You'll find fewer crowds, and the temperatures are still very comfortable for exploring the area, including walks along the beach or visiting nearby Opotiki.

Aquarius Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel may look a big aged but trust the owner is doing the best to keep up with the standard and welcome the guests. We had two days stay in the two bedroom unit, it was well equipped with the comfy furniture in the lounge, big fridge in the kitchen, accessible bathroom. enough beds to accommodate two families or family with adult children, handy beach access for the morning/evening walks. we certainly enjoyed our stay in the motel, will stay again when we are in the area next time too."
