Vacation rentals in Otaika

Katrina’s place was situated in a very private setting. Beautifully landscaped. Check in was a breeze. Perfect set up for a family of four (or 5) given the bedrooms were on two different levels and each bedroom was equipped with a full bathroom. The place has a stunning view of the water from the living room, patio, and both bedrooms. The car ferry to Russell is only a 5 minute drive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for hosting us :)

Well equipped kitchen, big spacious house, great for our group of 5. At least a 10min flat walk to the beach, however a beach cart was needed if taking a beach cabana and chilli bins etc. We opted for a short drive to the beach when we were going for a few hours. Nice walk up the hill through bush to get to Whale Bay which was beautiful.

Beautiful, clean & spacious home with everything you need! Close to lots of places. Great, clear & easy communication with the host :)

Lovely location and a great beach to enjoy. Sharon was very friendly and communicated at all times. The place was nice, clean and comfortable with plenty of space. The bach shares a section with the main house and we didn’t need any assistance during our visit as everything was great. A really nice couple of days with a nice drive up to see the sights. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful place. Everything you need. Great hosts.

Malcom and Penny were so welcoming and we had the most wonderful stay! The perfect location, hidden in the hills with only a quick spin in to town. Really enjoyed our weekend, couldn’t recommend their place more, a beautiful home!

Kathryn’s place was amazing! We loved our stay. I couldn’t believe how well stocked it was. Everything we needed was there. It was extremely comfortable. The hospitality was so welcoming and we felt right at home. The view and the serenity take the cake though. Not often you get ocean, mountains, pastures, cows etc all at one place. Definitely recommend.

Our group of 7 women rated this house as one of the highlights of our 4 day stay in Russell. The location is scenic and peaceful and only a short drive to the town centre. We wished we'd had more time to enjoy the pleasures this house offers and would highly recommend both it and the host Dave.

One of the things that’s hard about finding a place in a new place is the sense of relative distances. We were further outside of town than we had expected, but man was it worth it. The views down to the bay were spectacular. And being from the northern hemisphere, the night sky is of particular interest. We were lucky with high pressure, so being just far enough outside of town gave us breathtaking star gazing. Jo was so helpful in making suggestions for places to see, quickly able to help us prioritize based on the way we roll, a good mix of walking and driving, a wonderful resource and real hospitality pro. Already looking forward to our next visit.
