Very hospitable people, nice location, peaceful and quiet, room had everything we needed.
New ZealandThe location was excellent ,200 yards from the beach. Marie and Wally are lovely hosts. Friendly ,helpful but make sure you have your own space. Breakfast was wonderful.
United KingdomWally and Maire are very lovely host, and also their dog, Fern is an also lovely!! I enjoyed staying there. Wonderful breakfast and dinner which I requested an extra. I also enjoyed the sounds of sea and birds, very relaxed atmosphere. I want to come back definitely!!
New ZealandWally and Maire were great hosts and we were looked after very well. Opito Bay is stunning and we loved our time there. Thank you both for making our stay so good. Wonderful breakfast and waking up to the smell of fresh bread was superb. Sharing our breakfast together with the other guests as well as Wally and Maire was such a pleasure.
New ZealandThe views from our room and the breakfast are were spectacular! The beach is just down the road from this property, an easy walk or a two second drive. It offers great swimming or fishing. The host went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of, even in the periods of time when we were to be more self-sufficient. He offered us the use of his kayak and barbecue when we wanted to bbq our own meal. He taught us how to shuck the scallops we caught and cook them. He was great company! His wife was very friendly as well and I hear she usually makes the best meals ever, however she was recovering from some recent medical treatments so we did not see her as often on this trip.
CanadaMagnificent hosts, very nice making you welcomed and always there to help. Lovely views and very nice rooms with comfy bed. Would certainly go back and would recommend to people.
SpainWally & Maire are fantastic hosts. No, they're not hosts, they're more like family. Wonderful experience! They really couldn't have done enough for us. My partner and I had a fabulous time and are looking forward to another trip to the Coromandel. Wally loves to talk, so make sure you ask him about what to do in the area and whose who. There's a lot of playful banter between Wally & Maire. So lovely to see a couple so in tune with each other. We got to use the kayak which was a lot of fun. I love chickens so I got a cuddle from one happy hen. Not to forget friendly, affectionate Fern (Labrador)! There is delicious homemade bread, homegrown honey, eggs, rhubarb and more at breakfast. Yum!Yum! Lisa & Hugh
New ZealandThe views. The breakfast. Friendly staff. Relaxing.
New ZealandGreat hosts that created a very comfortable stay. Great dinner and great view to the sea.
GermanyMarie and Wally were charming and kind hosts. They were helpful from point of booking, made a delicious breakfast every morning and were generous with advice and the use of their kit and equipment (barbecue, water sports etc). They were brilliant with our spirited two boys (age 9 and 11). We would love to go back to Leighton Lodge, a lovely B and B in the beautiful Opito Bay.
