About this property

The Lights House - Beachfront Ohope Holiday Home

With the sand and sea right across the road, and the pohutukawa-lined hillside behind you, this might be the quintessential Kiwi coastal holiday home you've been looking for. Welcome to The Lights House.

A comfy, colourful and airy delight, The Lights House is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom Whakatane accommodation ready to host your summer days basking in the sun, with the sand and sea less than a one-minute wander from your front door.

The Lights House is well-equipped with all the essentials for easy holiday living, including a fully equipped kitchen for delicious holiday meals, a Smart TV with Freeview for relaxed nights indoors, and the must-have WiFi on hand for posting holiday snaps.

In summer, imagine a cold drink out on the sundeck, dinner sizzling away on the BBQ, the family playing a card game, all with the sea view as a backdrop. What more does your holiday need?

Come winter, a cosy coastal escape is on offer at The Lights House with soft homely furnishings and a heat pump for setting the ideal temperature day or night.

The Lights House is a 10-minute walk from the nearest cafes and restaurants, a 30-minute walk to the Ohope Lookout, or you could start the Kohi Point Scenic Track almost right outside your front door! Wander around the coast to secluded Otarawairere Bay, the hidden jewel of the Whakatane-Ohope area.

Bound to brighten up any holiday, The Lights House awaits!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Impossible to contact
Prior to booking, I confirmed whether covid would impact the refund policy for this property (stated as no refunds within 60 days of the day commencing) and was assured if we couldn't travel due to covid, we would be taken care of by either refund or transfer of dates. As it happened, my wife and I were both close contacts of a confirmed case, and government guidelines saw us needing to isolate and not travel. I messaged the property the morning we found out, to let them know and ask what we could do in that situation. No response. After our isolation period was over, I messaged again. No response. I've messaged a third time, in an attempt to ensure we haven't kissed goodbye to $2000 for nothing, in spite of the assurances of the property. With an ongoing absence of any communication, I've contacted my bank for a charge back of the credit card transactions. Although we sadly didn't stay at the property in spite of having looked forward to it for months, the interaction with the property manager has been abysmal - look elsewhere for your stay, as you never know when you'll need their help, and there are some good ones out there.
