About this property
Sandbach - Ohiwa Harbour
Located on the sea side of Ohiwa Harbour Road, this beautiful family bach is ideally sandwiched between ocean and harbour, providing a place where you can do as much or as little as you feel.
Delightful, comfortable, relaxing, fun...this holiday home will mean so much to all who spend their time here. Located between Ohiwa Harbour and Beach, with Onekawa Te Mawhai Regional Park, just around the corner, there are many opportunites to create a fabulous holiday. There`s glow worms too, either in the regional park area, or along the beach. There are great living spaces, inside and out, with outdoor dining at either end of the property, which means you can work around the sun and the wind. With three bedrooms and bunks in the generous size games room, there is space for the biggest family or a group of friends wanting some pristine time out from today`s pace. There`s plenty to do inside too, with lots of games, books and a pool table in the games room and wifi, if you wish to connect to the outside world. But maybe you won`t feel the need to do so.
In short, it is one of those holiday homes that you and your family could return to year after year, creating lasting memories of sundrenched days and star filled nights.
Sandbach is located near the end of a road and as such is a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to the beach, harbour and Onekawa Te Mawhai Regional Park. It is also close to Ohiwa Holiday Park.
A vehicle is required to get in and around Opotiki and surrounding areas.

Comfortable, clean bach with 3 nice bedrooms and a rumpus with bunks and a pool table. Two minutes walk through the dunes to a wild and wonderful beach.
We loved the feeling of quiet, relaxation and total getaway that this property provided. Very scenic and the bach has a cosy feel. Fantastic place to see the stars at night!It is worth knowing that there are no shops of any kind at the Harbour so be prepared and bring what you need.
The house was well equipped and bedrooms were comfortable. Pool table was a big hit, loved our stay at the Sandbach. Perfect location, right next to the beach.
The place was nice and warm, the birdlife was amazing I sat outside and watched the tūī and kererū flying around from tree to tree, I’ve never seen so many kererū ever :) just lovely, the family enjoyed the pool table, would happily return
Really enjoyed our stay. House had everything we needed. Deck at front of house needs a waterblast very slimy n slippery when wet. Met a lovely lady who had dog same age as mine so went for early morning walks. Would be so awesome to stay there in summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Big house The birds were amazing.
I almost don't want to say the nice things so this place stays a secret! Lovely bach in a lovely location away from the crowds.
We were unlucky with the weather but braved the wind and rain every day to walk around from the beach to the harbour and watch the oyster catchers, dotterels and weka who call this place home. And the pool table gave us many hours of enjoyment and valuable family bonding time. Thanks so much for sharing this special place with us.
