We loved staying in Mark’s place for 3 nights over the Christmas holiday. We loved the small town, quiet vibe of Ohope and walk right out to the beach. We took a drive over to Opotiki to rent bikes and ride the Motu Dunes Trail - highly recommend. Since most things were closed for the holiday, we cooked most of our meals. While it’s a small kitchen, it’s well stocked with a larger toaster oven, electric frying pan, stove top burner and there is the BBQ grill so we did just fine!
