The 'black bach' at Opito bay is a stunning venue for the deluxe NZ holiday. My wife planned the trip and I hadn't even looked at the photo's before arriving, but nestled in the Opito Bay valley in KeriKeri inlet is this stunning holiday home.
Highlights for me (and by no means exhaustive) included: the view, the sun, brilliant coffee machine, hearing Kiwi's at night, stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking, childrens toys/books, proximity to KeriKeri (15 mins, perfect), swimming in the bay and much much more.
We had a fantastic holiday here and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to escape to Northland
