We traveled the west coast and this stop was relaxed with lovely scenery, beach walking, caught a few fish and swam in calm waters. Kiwi burgers around the corner were top notch. Thanks

Cabin was as described. Nice view, peaceful. What I didn’t consider was Opononi has a population of 270, so it’s a tiny settlement. Options for dining & groceries very limited. I should have taken my own supplies of food & alcohol, especially over Easter.

Disliked: Communication
Shortly after arrival, we found cockroaches in a cabinet. There was also a power outage for a while. We tried numerous times to contact the owners of the apartment for assistance. We called all the contact phone numbers provided. Nobody ever answered the phone. We left the next day and never heard from the owners. The apartment was quite nice and well equipped. But since it is impossible to get in touch with the owners, I would not book this place again.

Fab little getaway spot

Loved 'Opononi Bliss'. A well kept, snug little house, minutes walk from the beach, the store and an A+ fish'n'chip shop. The house has is very tidy and is well stocked with creature comforts (and has a good shower - which is always a plus). The owners are easily contactable and responsive too if you need anything or have questions. Will definitely come back here in the future.
