About this property

Chill Out, Down the Coast - Studio Unit, so handy to the Beach

The unit has had a complete modern makeover and is waiting for someone to come and enjoy some chill out time, down the coast. With the beach access just across the road, you can enjoy the sun, sand and sea. There are wonderful local dining options if you don't want to cook, otherwise stay in and use the full kitchen or BBQ. The unit offers privacy with a sunny fenced garden and separate entrance. Plenty of room for bikes, boards and kayaks. It suits a couple, with the sofa bed suitable for a child. Use of the sofa bed is an extra person charge.
An adjoining 1 bedroom unit is available to rent for additional people. See property # 9593160.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Lovely getaway
Sandra’s unit is wonderful. It is spotlessly clean and superbly appointed with high quality wine glasses, kitchen utensils and dining apparel. It is tastefully decorated. There is a quality bbq and a lovely sheltered grassy area with a picnic table conducive to afternoon refreshments and al fresco dining. We loved our stay here and will definitely return.

Beautiful place to stay
We loved everything at this beautiful place, it’s literally 1 min to the beach and there’s so much to do! The apartment is spotless clean, has everything you need and the little garden was perfect to sit outside and put on the barbie. Sandra was very helpful and an amazing host. Thanks for having us!

A blissful stay in Ōhope
A very nice spot on the East Coast of Aotearoa. Everything we needed was in close proximity. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend to anyone passing through the area, especially small families or a couples retreat. The set up was clean and tidy, and had all amenities. Thank you Sandra for your hospitality! PS the Easter eggs were a lovely treat. Hope to be back again soon.

Best long weekend away thanks to Sandra and Barrie
Everything about this unit was perfect, from the moment we arrived we felt at home and comfortable. It was incredibly clean and had all the amenities we needed. We loved the short stroll to the beach but even better we loved how we were so close to the wharf as that’s a favourite spot of ours. If you ever have the chance to stay in Ohope, Sandra and Barrie will make you feel most welcome in there beautiful unit. Thanks again we had the best weekend away!

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at your bach, we just wanted to get away and relax and that’s what we did. It was refreshing and it gave us time to charge up the batteries before we had to get back into our daily routine. So thank you for letting us stay at your accommodation and hope we can return again soon. Naku noa Joby Reid
