We visited on a recommendation from friends that the beach camp would be perfect to celebrate our granddaughters 5th birthday and it was! We enjoyed the beach across the road, with lifeguards. The pool and playground was well utilized with families and the amenities were perfect. We enjoyed Opunake town visiting the antique shop, cafes and the hotel.

Typical country town. There was a great coffee shop, vehicle srervicing and farm supply facilities. We enjoyed our stay there as a staging post for WOMAD in New Plymouth. The view from the Barbwire Bach across the lake is tranquil and very scenic.

Nice quiet restful relaxing place to stay as long as you don't expect a bustling shopping area. It is back to basics and take time to "chill out". Best places were the walking tracks around and about the area. Lovely coffee shop and cafe in town. Takeaways were fine, Four square shops useful, very easy place to get around as very little traffic and trip round the coast further is a relaxing and enjoyable trip.

Opunake is a small town, the way small towns would have been many decades ago - that is what makes it appealing. No big brands or shopping centres, just old fashioned 4 Square, dairy, fish n chip shop, a couple of cafe's and some second hand/antique shops. It has it's own lake and beach and an extensive walking and biking trail that snakes it's way around the clifftops and round the town. You can even ride your bikes around the streets as it is so quiet, hardly any traffic or fast moving vehicles. It is a unique and special place on the suf highway 45 worth stopping and exploring.

Nice golf course and sheep were great company. Being a small town not many restaurants but well catered for with takeaway bars of good standard. Nice relaxing place to stay although i presume it would be much more hectic in summer.
