About this property

A Genuine Comfortable Kiwi Bach

With simple beach access this property is in the perfect location offering water activities, fantastic D.O.C walking tracks through bush to uninhabited neighbouring beaches with abundant bird life including Tuis, Kereru, Kiwis and Quail, Pheasants and Lorikeets. Night time is punctuated with the nearby activities of the native owls and Kiwis. Two minutes away is the local yacht club with restaurant and bar facilities or fifteen minutes to Kerikeri with its numerous acclaimed eateries. Ideal as a base to visit other well known Bay of Island sights but the kind of place where once you are there you never want to leave.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Very special location
Chris, thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise. The property was more than we expected, from the beautiful view, from the bird song and successful kiwi spotting in the bush, truly made this a very special trip.

Perfect holiday venue!
This bach is perfectly located near a beautiful calm bay in an utterly gorgeous part of the Bay of Islands. The bach is well set up and very comfortable. Chris was a wonderful host and couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

Opito Bay: A beautiful, tranquil place to stay
We enjoyed our stay & met owners Chris & Mary who were friendly & helpful. The bach was comfortable,homely & had a good layout. The big deck in front was a great place to eat in the evening to be cooled with a nice breeze and appreciate the great view of the bay 😊 Anne & John
