A really homely, friendly B&B without pomp and ceremony providing all the comforts one needs. The owners are both treasures! Excellent home cooked dinners available on request. Opito Bay is a superb place to stay with a magnificent beach. Don’t hesitate! Michael Brown (UK ) January 2015.

Great spot to just relax.. A gem of a beach with the luxury of this lodge… Deborah Lynn ( NZ ) December 2014
