About this property

Waterfront Holiday Home - Ideal for Two Families

Opito Bay is one of the most picturesque beaches on the Coromandel Peninsula. A beautiful sandy beach for safe swimming, diving, fishing and boating. This comfortable waterfront holiday home is just perfect for two families with excellent privacy offered by the two separate dwellings. Perfectly positioned in a tranquil spot with gorgeous views of Opito Bay and Mercury Islands from the living areas and decks and only metres to the stunning beach just in front of you over the road. Accommodation offered includes the three bedroom main house plus extra accommodation (two semi-open-plan bedrooms, bathroom and deck) above the garage at the rear. Fully equipped with all the modern conveniences, books, games and puzzles. There are a number of lovely walks to neighbouring Crayfish Bay, Matapaua Bay and along the relatively deserted western end of the Bay where there are no baches. Perfect for peaceful family holidays.

Super relaxing

The position on the waterfront is outstanding and couldn’t be more convenient for beach access and the view with pōhutukawa etc is serene. Even in stormy weather ( and we had some) the view was captivating. The house is getting tired in parts but everything was there and OK . Hey and even a dishwasher !!
