We really enjoyed our stay in Waihau Bay - great location - the house and views were amazing and the kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the property manager was really good – she called us a couple of days prior to confirm the booking and provided some local knowledge. The pub had good meals and reasonably priced. The convenience store has the basic groceries but no fruit or vegetables that we could see. If you are staying for a couple of day make sure you stock up on food in Opotiki, Tokomaru Four Square or Gisborne. Just to note: - the house is located at the top of the hill overlooking the bay – it is a bit of a hike down to the local pub and convenience store – easier to drive.
