The Waterfront Studio Opito Bay

Loved staying here. Perfect spot for some well needed R&R, lovely view, swimming in the beautiful bay and not far from many other beautiful beaches to explore also a few minutes drive to Kerikeri township. Alan is a very helpful generous host. From the beautiful dalias & spotless room & bathroom to the amenities was all very appreciated. Lovely hearing kiwis at night. Highly recommend & will be my pick for next visit sometime in future. Thankyou both for a wonderful stay.

Amazing location, access to the beach. So many intricate details that have been thought of to make the stay as easy and enjoyable as possible

Amazing host, breathtaking view, beach access, kitchen with lovely curated snack and drink assortment, great breakfast, barbecue.

Beautiful, comfortable accommodation for two with a spectacular outlook in a beautiful and quiet location, and amazing hosting, make this one of the best accommodations we've ever enjoyed in NZ. This is a self-contained accommodation unit for two in a quiet location adjoining the host's house. The unit is new, beautifully furnished, well-appointed and very comfortable. The view overlooks Opito Bay from a height, and has a spectacular outlook into the wider Bay of Islands with outside dining and sun loungers. Alan is a generous and very thoughtful host who has created a wonderful guest experience full of detailed touches to make a comfortable, easy stay. There is a toaster, microwave and Weber BBQ, but it's worth noting is that the unit doesn't have full self-catering facilities: it lacks a hob, oven and kitchen sink. But Alan more than makes up for this - he does the washing-up, and provides a beautiful array of breakfast supplies every morning, including plenty of delicious fresh fruit. There's delightful complementary selection of cold drinks in the fridge on arrival, and an assortment of tasty snacks. It's absolutely outstanding! The location in Opito Bay is quiet, about 15 minutes from Kerikeri. There's a small network of beautiful trails through the bush around the end of the peninsula walkable from the unit, with a spectacular view at the lookout and a beautiful sheltered cove for swimming and snorkelling on the north side. The Kerikeri peninsula is a hotspot for kiwi, and we heard one close to the unit one night.

Nothing!

Perfect location, loved the little extras and the attention to detail

Instant relaxation as soon as you walk in!!! The room was beautiful, bright and vibrant and the flow to outside was amazing, the view pretty awesome too! The private access down to the beach through the bush is beautiful. Our host was very friendly and accommodating, the amenities were clean and the water pressure to die for!! Breakfast was so delicious and I loved that it was mainly organic.

My partner would have like a couch to relax and watch the cricket on but he’s really tall and doesn’t like laying in bed.

Amazing location looking out over bay of islands
