You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serene Opoutere Hideaway (family and pet-friendly)

Sit back and soak up the surrounds and serenity in this nature lovers paradise.
This property has been owned by the same family for the past 30 years who look forward to sharing this piece of paradise with you.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this cosy family bach has all the comforts of home including a wood burner (wood supplied), fully equipped modern kitchen (with a water filter tap and Nespresso machine), board games, kayaks, boogie boards & good quality linen (to name a few)!

House is positioned in a quiet cul de sac and located up a bush lined concrete driveway. Off street parking available for 2 cars with plenty of on-street parking available also.

The property is almost surrounded entirely by vast native bush giving a profound sense of peace, privacy and relaxation. Enjoy elevated standing views of the estuary from the deck.

A two-minute drive to the car park of Coromandel's stunning Opoutere remote surf beach, and a short walk to the pristine estuary - a great spot for bird watching & kayaking, with a boat ramp for public use, and a jetty for fishing.

Opoutere is one of the few coastal areas left on the Coromandel Peninsula where residential development has occurred only at low levels. The natural beauty of the area is outstanding, offering 5km of unspoilt white sand beach, uninhabited with no buildings visible from land or sea. Well known for great surf, and beautiful walking tracks. Local artists to visit include Guity Evelyn at the Topadahil studio.

Opoutere is a 10min drive north from Whangamata township, this is where you will find shops, restaurants, cafes in a seaside resort. The nearest supermarket and petrol stations are also in Whangamata.

You can also use Opoutere as your base to explore the other scenic wonders of the Coromandel Peninsula.

No more than 1 hour drive to:
Waihi end of the Hauraki Rail Trail
Hot Water Beach
Cathedral Cove
Whitianga

The location is also enjoyable for more peaceful breaks in the cooler months when the Coromandel region is quieter.

Please note, Opoutere is not connected to the town water supply. The house runs on water tanks. Water conservation is very important while staying at this property and especially during the warmer months. Bottled water for drinking is supplied.

Special conditions:

***Please Note***

- All linen is a supplied at an extra cost of $10 per person/per stay. It includes sheets, pillow slips, bath towels, bath mat, hand towels and tea towels.

- Well-behaved, toilet trained dogs are permitted at the property, but are only allowed on certain areas of the beach as the sand spit is a national wildlife refuge - a breeding ground for several endangered species of native sea birds including the New Zealand Dotterel and variable Oystercatcher.

- Smoking is strictly limited to outside only with no butts to be left behind

- No Wi-Fi - we encourage you to enjoy nature at its best!

We had a lovely few days staying at Emilys bach. Well equipped with everything we could need for a comftable stay. Weather wasnt great so kids made good use of the board games. Definitely recommend if youre looking to get away for a technology detox as it is near impossible to get any mobile reception. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Opoutere, thanks Emily.

Authentic Bach - Not
She advertises as authentic! There is a big diff between authentic and rundown! She advertises as a view! There is no view as its so overgrown. She advertises the deck not good for children! Its not good for anyone at all! Its downright dangerous. In 2 bedrooms your foot is going thru the floor. The floor has not been cleaned in months we had to wear shoes as your feet get so black and dirty. The curtains hang off the rails not on. All the cushions and blankets are dirty. Mould on the shower curtain. This place needs a major overhaul and i mean everything. I dont think the owners have been to see this place in a very long time. I would not recommend and i would not eva go back. Have fotos if you require. Happy to be contacted as well.

Great labour day weekend
The property owner was prompt in giving instructions and advice for our stay and was kind to give us courtesy to check out late without extra charge. The house is completely set up for all your needs and reasonably well maintained considering the age of the house. Kitchen is complete with all appliances in very good working condition. Living rooms, dining and bedrooms/bathrooms are all clean and well set-up. Overall highly recommended, and will defo consider staying here again. =)

Great location for our family wedding up the road. House getting tired and photo's not reflecting this. The trees up the drive need trimming for safe access and the driveway needs waterblasting and moss removed. Great family space and good having 2 bathrooms

Ideal accommodation for wedding
We stayed here as the family of the bride. It was an ideal location for the bride and bridesmaids to get made up and dressed just prior to the wedding, which was a short distance away at an Opoutere Farmhouse. Comfortable and peaceful with a great view off the deck. Emily was a very responsive and helpful host.
