Marie & Toms place overlooking Waiotahe Bay, is an ideal base to explore the Opotiki region. Communication with Bush to Bay who manage the property was prompt and informative (thank you Wendy). Set in large tranquil gardens, the cottage is stylishly decorated, with an nice outdoor deck to enjoy the sun, with stunning views of the ocean below. The bed is comfortable, great shower and everything you need in a compact kitchen to self cater. We spent 2 terrific days exploring the local area on our bikes. We’d also recommend a drive up the Waiheke Gorge - the scenery is spectacular.
