Central Ohope Beach location, quiet & private. Close to beach access. All facilities required. Awesome shower.
Lack of bathroom towel rail or hook options. Bed mattress not that comfortable.
The location was superb.
Das Haus hat eine Top-Lage: man kann direkt über eine öffentliche Wiese zum Strand gehen und dort baden , sich sonnen, am Strand wandern. Phantastische Ausblicke und Sonnenuntergänge. Parken direkt am haus, die Vermieterin wohnt im Stockwerk drüber. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Direkt benachbart ist ein öffentlicher Tennisplatz, der etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist, aber dafür jederzeit frei/kostenlos betretbar/bespielbar war Mitte April. In die Stadt Whakatane ist es auch nicht weit, und dort gibt es alles, selbst einen Buchladen - und einen wirklich guten Espresso im Robert Harris Cafe!
Nachts wurde es Mitte April doch frisch, auch drinnen, und es gab nur im Wohnzimmer eine Klimaanlage, mit der man etwas heizen konnte, nicht in den Schlafzimmern.
Lovely outlook, close to the beach.
Great location, everything that we needed.
We loved the location!!! The place was spacious and comfortable and the kitchen had everything anyone could need.
The cleanliness was not as good as it could have been particularly in the lounge and kitchen
Lovely apartment right next to the beach. Very clean and comfortable and had all the facilities required for a great stay. Highly recommend for your stay in Ohope Beach!
Location superb!
Close to beach, easy to find, clean and tidy and has everything we needed
Nothing
Clean, well set up and close to the Beach. Awesome host!
The convenient location. The size and condition of the apartment was excellent.

Lovely location, tidy, plenty of room, everything we need was to hand, met Linda who was lovely also
Great location just metres from the beach and next door to tennis courts. Tennis rackets and balls were there for use too! Four square just around the corner. Friendly host.
Could be a little cleaner - there was a bit of hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived and it was a bit dusty in places. Wouldn't put us off coming back, but would just make it a bit nicer :)
Location
The location was great close to cafes, beach and shops
Nothing -The apartment was clean. It had everything a home away from home. Plenty of supplies easy instructions about the property. The beach was right there!
Location, private, spacious rooms. Good kitchen, good heating/aircon. Good wifi.
Old bed and old linen. No private washing machine in unit, shared with owner. Outdoor area needs a tidy up.
Private Spacious Warm Beautiful beachfront location and view Quiet Well equipped Comfortable
Comfortable beds good kitchen and layout , lovely location
Tv instructions were bit over the top and asked for $25 fee if you couldn’t get it to work , tv couldn’t svreencast or link your own Netflix as was in German
Nice spot close to beach
Lovely outlook onto park and super close to the beach.
Very tastefully furnished, spacious. clean and comfortable. Great location. Would definitely stay again.
Being picky, it would have been nice to have had even a small amount of milk on our arrival and more than 3 standard tea bags when there was three of us there for two nights. Fortunately the 4 square was only a short walk and opened at 7 the following morning.
The whole unit was modern, very comfortable, clean, large and had everything we needed. We could hear the sea and it is a very short walk to the beach. Linda our host was perfect and it was great value for money.
Nothing.
Everything was great perfect location. Clean place with everything you need. Easy to get hold of owner and easy to deal with. Great value for money
Location was perfect. For a similar price to a dodgy motel on a busy road 15 mins way, I was in a safe, sunny, modern apartment 200m from the beach. 4 Square a few minutes walk away to get any supplies I wanted.
It was so close to the beach and we had a couple of nice walks on the beach.
Perfect place in great location and reasonably priced. Lounge furniture was nice and place was spacious.
there was only one towel, someones dentures were left so property hadn't been cleaned properly., there was only one roll of toilet paper. Importantly, there was no no smoke alarm. Bed was very old and uncomfortable
Great location, quiet, spacious, well equipped kitchen. Outdoor furniture and large sun umbrella.
Spacious clean homely
The rooms are very spacious, the bed is comfortable and the property is in a very convenient and quiet area.
Great spot, lovely apartment loved staying there. Would highly recommend.
No issue's it was awesome.
Right at the beach. Quiet area. Plenty of room throughout
The property is very well appointed, lots of kitchenware, quality throughout the establishment.
Nothing to not like, just be aware that use of the washing machine,easily accessed, and clothesline is shared with the property owner. We would recommend the property.
Great spot, close to the ocean. Linda was responsive and on-hand when needed
Lacking some basics such as conditioner, salt, olive oil and dishwashing powder. Linda accommodating in providing this when requested (such as the salt and dishwashing powder) but felt a bit bad having to ask
Clean and tidy and great location to the beach & local four square and surrounding local cafes.
N/A
The location was perfect and the accommodation was modern and comfortable for our family of 4
A good value and next to a nice park with access to the shore.
I thought we would have a better view of the ocean.
Clean, tidy, great indoor- outdoor flow. Right next to the beach, 2 minute walk from the local store. Perfect spot for a weekend away!
Everything
Nothing
location clean and light
The location was great, two minutes walk to the beach in a lovely setting down a private driveway. Although we could see the sea, the view was a little obscured by a trailer/fence. The apartment was a really good size and comfortable.
There were no tea towels, even though there was a dishwasher.
Location great
Outstanding location, very close to the beach, local convenience store and liquor store only 100 yards away. Lovely comfortable accommodation.
Not applicable. We took our own breakfast.
I can't think of anything that could have been better
A great spot, not far from the beach. The owners lived above so there is some noise to be expected but we only really noticed it in the bedroom early in the morning. They were lovely to deal with. Overall the accommodation was great for what we were wanting and at a reasonable price we thought.
The owners had a challenge to get the accommodation cleaned in time for our check in but all was communicated with us so no problems.
Close to beach & eateries
All good
Proximity first class accomodation. Close to amenities and the beach . Very friendly helpful owner
Nothing
Good location ,very close to beach with everything you need.
Close to the beach, nice view of the sunset, private area, comfy beds
Outside (NZ winter) temperatures were 12 to 14 degC during the day and below 10 degC at night. The appartment had NO HEATING in the sleeping rooms (not even an air blower or a mobile radiator / 2 bed bottles in a cupboard....haha). Furthermore, the heat pump in the main living room combined with kitchen is undersized, positioned near the entrance and only heatin PROPERLY the living area. Not enough to heat the kitchen area which is also the only place where you can work with your laptop (no other table vailable for this!). Also of interest for other guests is following: when making the resrvation for the 2 nights the price was 315 NZ$ for 2 people and 395 NZ$ if 3 people. We resrved for 2 people, and were told via mail before our arrival that a 3rd person would cost 3 times more ! (240 NZ$ for 2 nights instead of the 80 NZ$ shown on the Booking.com site).
No electricity blanket 9n beds. The hot water bottles had not be emptied., the cover on the bottles needed washing . The blinds in kitchen need clearing. I could go on.
The location was fantastic - close to the beach, and a pleasant view
Lounge, living area was really lovely. Main bedroom also very nice. Twin beds/bunk room nice but one bed was a bit uncomfortable (she changed to bunk bed and it was better).
Nothing
Beautiful apartment. Extremely clean & tidy. Had everything we needed. Location was great. 4 square and liquor store within walking distance, Ohiwa Oyster Farm just over the hill.

The location was perfect, very quiet, so close to the beach
Everything was great
Closeness to the beach and town centre. Quiet and peaceful, lots of bird life
I had missed the message about where the key was, rang the owner to a slightly chilly reception. I was a bit emabarassed at my mistake.
Great location, great for a family. Linda was very accommodating.
Close to the beach & Four Square. Loved the lounge suite & kitchen/dining/lounge area.
The creaking from people walking around upstairs.
Perfect accommodation. Very clean & well equipped. Metres from beach in a quiet area.
Nothing
Awesome location and very comfortable
nil
The place was very comfortable with plenty of room, kitchen had everything required, location fantastic and the beach just a stones through away. Adjacent was a tennis court and a grassed park area which was ideal for play.
We would have like to have had easy access to a laundry but finding it was impossible, also just a small thing, we are always concerned about furniture and the damage hot or cold drinks can make, coasters would be a nice addition rather than having to find a paper back to use.
Great Location and amenities. Well kitted out with all the necessary essentials. Clean and clear.
No breakfast offered. Plenty of space in apartment.
Could have been cleaner.
The location was amazing, a minute walk to the beach. The apartment was clean and had everything needed.
Big modern space, a short stroll to the beach, comfy beds with luscious bed linen. Kitchen well equipped. Big fridge & d/w. Good shower pressure. And nice comfy outdoor furniture to enjoy the sun!
The location was excellent so close to the beach and the cafe
Everything was great
