Opotiki Independent accommodation

Diane, you're a wonderful and very friendly host. Apart from maintaining the property impeccable way, your friendly approach and clear communication were definitely worth mentioning. And your instant support on fixing the hot water issue is highly commendable. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and we would definitely love to come back, and we have already started recommending your place to friends and families. Thank you once again.

Right in the heart of Opotiki so great location close to shops and eating places. Nice house with everything you need. Not to far from the beach or the river.

We absolutely loved the layout of the house - big communal space for relaxing, talking and playing games. Great selection of games supplied. Closeness to the beach was a huge bonus and the backyard gorgeous. We didn't mind that the dishwasher didn't work (a dish drainer would've been good) and we had no issue with the slow hot water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but the downstairs bunk room smelled musty and damp (mattresses no good). Also the issue with having no outside wheelie bin should be highlighted in the property description. It's like camping where you must remove all your rubbish from the property. As we were from OS we didn't know how to access recycling venues and even if we did, all were closed over the Christmas period. I asked some locals if this was a normal thing in NZ not to supply a wheelie bin for holiday accommodation - the answer was definitely not! So overall the space was ideal but think like a camper in terms of rubbish you create.
