The hosts, Marie and Wally, were really hospitable. They prepared a fresh, homemade breakfast, with real coffee, everyday and gave us lots of interesting and useful information about the local area. The accommodation was thoughtfully decorated and homely. We had a very nice, peaceful stay. The location was excellent (very close to the beach) and we enjoyed meeting all the animals, especially Fern!

Great food, nice home made touches, friendly owners and lovely location.

Great spacious unit with everything you need! So close to the beach and with a lovely wee view of the bay.

The hosts were such lovely people and made it feel like a home away from home. The breakfasts were amazing and the accomodation is perfect. So close to the beach within a 2min walk. Will definitely go back.

Wonderful stay. Comfortable room, friendly hosts, beautiful location. Can't be faulted!

The 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.

Wally 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!!

Wally 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.
