Perfect Summer Holiday

Our summer holiday at Otama Bach was awsome. What a view, perfect location, and the kids had the best time swimming all day. Great place to relax and get away from the city.

Super Bach…with the most beautiful view!

Our 5 days at Opito Bay felt like we were staying in our own private beach…the Bach was perfect for our family, the deck and outlook was our ‘go to’ morning and evening! Thank you for having us! This private corner of the Coromandel is a real gem. Also great for boating!

2 nights at the beach.

You would be hard pressed to find a better view. Typical bach style accommodation. The location is remote and such the beach was almost a private playground. Thanks for sharing your place. It was beautiful.

Solid bach on a beautiful beach

It’s a simple bach which has everything you need. The rooms are rather small but hey, with such a beautiful beach in front of the house you just use it to sleep there. I‘ve seen many baches in New Zealand and I would say that this one is pretty average. It’s more about the place than the bach. We enjoyed it!

Best view on the Coromandel

Perfect location for Ōtama beach positioned equidistant between the two beach access points. This bach is light and bright with spectacular views of the sea from every window so no guess work on beach conditions. Mozzie nets mean your sleep is insect free on comfortable beds with good pillows. Stove, fridge and cooking equipment provided made self catering easy. Highly recommended.

Second time, just as amazing

It wasn’t long ago that I left a review & we were just as pleased this time around. We haven’t been back to the same bach twice until now- and we will be back again some time soon hopefully!

Our perfect holiday

We absolutely loved our stay in Otama. The view is incredible & much like another review said, we had planned to adventure round, but actually preferred to spend most of the time at the house. Communication was great, everything in the house was as stated in the listing. Am already thinking of when we can get back!

Incredible open view

Had a wonderful Labour Weekend at Otama. The internal living area is compact but furnished to work well (with good sized bedrooms and kitchen) and the massive deck and incredible view add both physical and mental space! Otama beach itself is stunning. Felt very lucky.

Beautiful beach. Perfect bach. Amazing location

Our stay at Otama Bay for 10 days was idyllic. A really stunning east coast beach with great swimming. The beach house is located above the beach with panoramic views. The owners have thought of everything and the property is perfectly set up for a great stay. The host was friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this as a holiday stay and will return someday!

Coromandel Gem

This property is perfectly situated with breathtaking views over an isolated beach. The bach itself is cute & compact with all that we needed for a short stay get-away. The place was clean, kitchen very functional, and owners great to communicate with. We would rebook in the future without hesitation.

Stunning beach holiday in perfect bach

This gorgeous bach with huge deck is set in fabulous Otama beach. Perfect from sunrise to sunset. Everything you need from great kitchen to games, books, bean bags and snuggly beds. Walk on the beach and you’ll see dotterels, oystercatchers, gulls, gannets; fishing is good too, culture and history too. Lovely get away. A little bit of metal road keeps the masses away too!
