Harbour House
Glen was an excellent host. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay and highly recommend it as a great value, quaint and relaxing place to stay. We'll hope to stay there again whenever visiting the area.

Blue Dayz Haven
This was such an amazing relaxing place to stay! Plenty of fun games to play on the beautiful deck as well as the beach being right down the street 🤗! Would definitely recommend to people with kids that would like somewhere nice and private to enjoy each other's company ! Also was beautiful and clean when we arrived ☺️

Pacific Ocean Heights
Had an amazing stay here! The house was lovely and spacious, as well super clean and tidy. The view is truly spectacular and can be seen from most rooms in the house which was so cool. Would definitely recommend!

Titiwai Conservation Retreat
Absolute a great place to escape and relax for a family or 2 couples! Warm, very well maintained and how can you beat waking up to the sunrise coming out of the ocean!

The Observatory, Semi Self-Contained Unit
We had an unforgettable stay at Annie and Tautini’s peaceful and beautifully maintained home. It struck the perfect balance between feeling like a welcoming home and being a private, self-contained retreat. The view over the lush garden and surrounding landscape was stunning — a joy to wake up to each day. The hot tub was a dream after long hikes, and the location couldn’t be better: just six minutes from Ōhope Beach with plenty of scenic trails nearby. Annie and Tautini were incredibly thoughtful hosts — their recommendation to try Cigol, the Korean restaurant in town, was spot on. What made the experience truly special was the way they generously shared their time and knowledge about pounamu, local sites, and cultural traditions. We felt deeply privileged and blessed to have stayed here. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Peaceful park-side perfection.
Thank you both so much for our lovely holiday - we could easily have stayed a few more nights. We enjoyed the private and peaceful outlook onto the park. The house was spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed (and more). Felt right at home immediately. Highly recommend a stay here.

Ohiwa Hideaway
Lovely relaxing stay at a classic Kiwi bach. Family holiday with our three kids and we all had a great time kayaking, trying to catch fish, having more success catching mud crabs, going for hikes on the headland, and just relaxing offline. Host Nik is super friendly and responsive, place was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for, and we will be back!! Highly recommend to others who enjoy old school device-free outdoor kids family holidays :)

The Shed
I booked last minute, Catherine had great coms straight away. We arrived late and Catherine was there to greet us and if we needed extra blankets or anything else we needed. Beautiful little place with all you need. The bed was very comfy and had a good nights rest. The shower had good water pressure also. Would definitely stay again next time we are back.
Your guide to Ōpōtiki
All About Ōpōtiki
Framed by two rivers on three sides as they converge into the Pacific Ocean, the small coastal town of Ōpōtiki is on the Bay of Plenty on New Zealand’s North Island. The town is known as the Gateway to the East Cape and is one of the earliest Māori settlements in the country. Carved wooden pouwhenua posts welcome visitors to the town and the beach, showing the importance Ōpōtiki has in Māori history.
The main street in the town center is lined with architecture from the early 20th century, including its Art Deco community movie theater from 1926, as well as colorful murals from local artists. A footbridge leads from the town onto the beach, where you can surf or spend time sunbathing.
The rivers of Waioeka and Otara meet at Ōpōtiki Wharf, which has rope swings and a slide and is a prime spot for swimming and fishing. Ōpōtiki is surrounded by natural beauty, including the Hukutaia Domain nature reserve and Raukumara Conservation Park, which are easily explored through the cycle trails through the dunes that head along the coastline.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ōpōtiki
Ōpōtiki sits on the Bay of Plenty, which is known for its outdoor activities that bring numerous visitors in spring and summer (October to March), when temperatures are at their highest. From the second half of December until the end of February, Ōpōtiki holds its summer festival, with a Christmas parade, fishing tournament, and the Ōpōtiki Lantern Festival with live music, food stalls, and all-ages entertainment. If you arrive in Ōpōtiki in the fall (March to June) and winter (June to September), temperatures are much cooler, but there are many cloudless days perfect for hiking.
Top things to do in Ōpōtiki
Ōpōtiki Heritage and Agricultural Museum
Housed in the former Road Services Depot in the heart of town, the Ōpōtiki Heritage and Agricultural Museum gives you a deeper understanding of the history of Ōpōtiki and the local area. It features 12 themed rooms across three floors that tell the stories of Māori settlers and the shipping industry, with many artifacts and ephemera on display, including agricultural equipment, a complete barber shop, and a 1950s general store.
Dunes Trail
Starting from the Memorial Park Reserve, head out on your bike or on foot across the Pakowhai ki Otutaopuku Bridge along the gravel path of the Dunes Trail. The full trail is over six miles long, taking you as far as the Tirohanga Conservation Reserve. Follow the coastal path through the sand dunes and along the Pacific Coast, with plenty of places to stop for a picnic, including Hukuwai Beach.
Hukutaia Domain Reserve
Take a five-mile journey south of town to walk around the Hukutaia Domain, a 11-acre forest reserve. The 20-minute trail will lead you through a multitude of native flora to one of the most sacred trees in the area: Taketakerau, or the Millennium Tree, is more than 2,000 years old. The site of this hollow, 75-foot-tall puriri tree was once a burial place for a local tribe.
