An extract from "The Lonely Planet 2008"
"Heading off the highway at Kuaotunu takes you to one of the Coromandel's best kept secrets. First there is the long stretch of Otama Beach and if you continue along the road you'll be in for a shock. Just when you think you're about to fall off the end of the earth, the seal starts again and you reach Opito, a hidden-away enclave of 250+ flash properties (too smart to be called baches) of which only 16 have permanent residents.It's more than a little wierd but it is a magical beach.You can walk to a Ngati Hei pa site at the far end.
One of the "real " residences houses the delightful folks of Leighton Lodge.This smart B & B has an upstairs room with a view-tastic balcony and a self contained flat downstairs."
This is a very special place.
Thank you for allowing us to share it.
