This property was very well situated for access to the beach and walks along the waterfront. Communication from the owners was excellent and we were lucky to be the first to use the new kitchen which was beautiful. Large, with everything that you could wish for in appliances, storage, crockery, cutlery and utensils.The BBQ was great.The bedroom configuration was almost perfect, we were a party of 9 adults and didn't realise that the fifth bedroom was a garage space - someone had to miss out on the views from the bedroom and be in a thoroughfare.That did not distract from our enjoyment of our stay, which was a time for catching up with family and enjoying the peace and beauty of Opito Bay.An excellent location and the accommodation was everything that we could wish for, unanimous agreement from us all.Thank you.Theresa
Amazing property, so much space for a large group/two families, incredibly well stocked kitchen. The bay itself is beautiful - awesome waves, calm places for paddle boarding and great fishing! Hosts have great coms and are very accommodating. Thank you for a great weekend.
What a great holiday. We’ve been wanting to stay in Opito over Christmas for so long. This bach has everything and more. The layout is great, location perfect. It has so many amenities. We will definitely be back.
Great place to have family stay for a holiday lots of room everything you need great beach fishing wasnt that great but thats fishing. Kids enjoyed snorkling and kayaks . Dolphins were out in the bay they were great watching. Joy was very easy to talk with and very welcoming. Thanks for a great time we will be back
Although the weather didn’t play ball that is putting it mildly!!! We had a great stay at this quiet beach 😎 House fully equipped with plenty of fridge & freezer room which was needed for our 12 nights with 4 adult & 1 teen. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all with no Wifi!! 😳
My family and I had the most amazing time in Opito Bay! Joy and Phillip were so easy to communicate with and provided easy to understand instructions regarding our stay. The home itself had all we needed and more. Everything was provided and flexibility with check in and check out times made it easier. We made a lot of great memories whilst there and plan to rebook next year. Thanks Joy and Phillip :)
We loved our stay here. The bach is clean and has everything you need to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Opito Bay. We were sorry to leave! Great hosts. Highly recommend.
Our family of young adults and teens took a micro break for 4 days. It's a magic spot with great views and outdoor spaces. The house was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. We will difinitely be back! Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed our time at Opito Bay. Awesome house to stay with all the tools for a good trip. Sadly the weather was not too good on our last two days. But we got out there for a fish and a dive. Caught some really good Kahawai, Snapper and Trevally.
We will definitely be back for Summer.
Great size and location for an extended family holiday
We loved the spot. Plenty of room and places to explore ; )

Great for the beach!
Great away from it all location with easy access to a nice beach, but remote so shop and take with you. Nice accommodation, big with plenty of space for larger groups to spread out.

A wonderful base for our holiday; warmly recommended
Joy and the local agent Colin were great; the bach was really well equipped and we had a wonderful time at Opito.
The only glitch for us, coming from the UK, was that the website said that we had to bring our "own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels)", but in fact that was all provided.

Just what we wanted
Lovely communication for our last minute booking. The house is in a perfect spot, sea views and an easy short stroll to the beach. Just loved how it backed into the bush also.
From the meet and greet with Colin handing over the keys, to the clean tidy and incredibly roomy Bach we cant fault a thing and so so want to come back. As for opito beach- it’s incredible- paradise .
