The bach had everything we needed. We had 2 families staying. It was an easy short walk to the fabulous beach. Large section and very clean and tidy. The pillows just need an upgrade and the pull out couch/bed was a little uncomfortable. Otherwise excellent!

Opunaki Stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the house is open and has a relaxing to stay in. We may come back sometime in the future. The weather didn't play ball only got a glimpes of the mountain on Monday coming back from Whanganui. It was a great stay myself and my wife enjoyed the atmosphere.

Opunake getaway
The property managers are great communicators. It was a good spot for a friend and I with a couple of dogs. Always nice to find a good place that allows for you to bring the dogs! I’d stay again - clean and tidy, fire to keep warm and not far from the beach and shops.
