Harbour House
Glen was an excellent host. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay and highly recommend it as a great value, quaint and relaxing place to stay. We'll hope to stay there again whenever visiting the area.

Beachside West End Unit 1 Bedroom
My 2-year-old daughter and I stayed at Denys’s beautiful unit, and it’s safe to say I will no longer be looking for any other accommodation when we visit Ohope Beach ! The unit was very clean, with everything you need inside. The bed is super comfortable and has plenty of blankets for the cooler nights. But overall my favourite part was the view ! Waking up to a gorgeous sunlight beaming in, and watching people surf amongst the waves. We loved our stay so very much, and we will be back again :)

Ohope Beach
Our stay at Ash and Vanesch’s unit was great, very central for the things we wanted to do. The beach was just across the road and the Ōhope club well within walking distance, their menu was good too! We would recommend this stay to anyone however be prepared for a little road noise. Maybe we noticed it because we live in a quiet cul de sac. Thanks Ash and Vanesch.

Jewel of Ohiwa - Stunning Views of Ohiwa Harbour
Beautiful home and surrounding area. Home was great!

Peaceful park-side perfection.
Thank you both so much for our lovely holiday - we could easily have stayed a few more nights. We enjoyed the private and peaceful outlook onto the park. The house was spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed (and more). Felt right at home immediately. Highly recommend a stay here.

Sand Dune Studio
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Sand Dunes Studio. The studio was just as described very private and quiet. Sue is a great host making us feel very welcome. The beach is just a short walk away and is lovely. We look forward to visiting again.

Ohope Beach Chalet
A really nice place in a beautiful location. Definitely recommend. Thanks for having us!

Beach Guest house
A great place to stay. Great location. Nice and quiet. Everything we needed had been catered for. Very clean and comfortable. Russell and Lorraine were very friendly hosts. Appreciated the extra goodies. I will be recommending Guesthouse in Ohope to my family and friends.

Your guide to Ōhope
All About Ōhope
With its seven miles of golden beach lapped by the waves of the Pacific Ocean and a backdrop of forest-covered hills, Ōhope is one of New Zealand’s most popular coastal areas, but it never feels crowded. From the beach, you have views of green, humpback Moutohorā/Whale Island and the offshore stratovolcano of Whakaari/White Island 30 miles away, often to be seen with a puff of steam rising from it.
On the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, Ōhope is in the Bay of Plenty, whose name reflects the area’s rich sea life and nature. A beachside road makes it easy to access your own piece of sandy paradise for swimming and surfing. There’s a small village with cafes and a general store and, beside the beach, picnic tables pepper grassy parkland shaded by pohutukawa trees. The central part of the beach is patrolled by lifeguards, while the West End is popular with surfers.
A great way to explore Ōhope and its beautiful surroundings is the Ngā Tapuwae o Toi walking track. The name means “footprints of Toi,” in honor of the Māori mariner who made landfall here many hundreds of years ago. With stunning clifftop views, forests rich in birdlife, and a number of historic pā (hilltop fort) sites, this loop takes around six hours, or you could complete just a section or two.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ōhope
The eastern Bay of Plenty is a very sunny part of New Zealand, with long, warm summers and mild winters. In summer (December through March) the whole coast is a blaze of crimson as the pohutukawa trees flower in December and January. Ōhope accommodation is extremely popular over this period as locals flock to the beach during the school summer holidays. When fall (March through June) rolls around, temperatures start to drop and more than 1,500 tree species burst into a kaleidoscope of color at McLaren Falls Park. Winter (June through September) is rarely bitterly cold here. The mild days of spring (September through December) are accompanied by light winds, and the region experiences less rainfall than elsewhere in the country.
On the first and third Saturday of the month throughout spring and summer, the village hall plays host to Ōhope Craft Market with a wide variety of artisan foods, crafts, and fresh produce on offer. A visit in February coincides with the Ōhope Local Wild Food Challenge at Mahy Reserve, with live music, a beer garden, and food stalls with cooking demonstrations.
Top things to do in Ōhope
Ōhiwa Harbour
The sheltered waters of Ōhiwa Harbour are tucked behind the southern end of Ōhope Beach. Explore on foot or by bike on the harbourside trail, or travel by boat or kayak to explore isolated inlets and islands. This is an important habitat for wetland shorebirds, so look out for godwits and dotterels, then pick up some fish and chips to enjoy sitting on the jetty, looking out on the still water reflecting the blues and greens of the surrounding hills.
Ōtarawairere Bay
Picturesque, secluded Ōtarawairere Bay feels a world away even though it is only a half-hour walk from Ōhope Beach across a rocky bluff. The views from the highest point take in both beaches and look right out to sea. Arriving at Ōtarawairere feels like finding your own secret cove, as aqua waters crash onto the rocks and plovers and oystercatchers forage and nest along the shoreline. You can also drive up behind the beach for a shorter walk.
Ōhope Scenic Reserve
Minutes from the village, the red wooden arch at the entrance to Ōhope Scenic Reserve is ornately carved with traditional figures from Māori mythology. It takes around an hour to walk the Fairbrother Loop track through lush native forest, and you may even be lucky enough to see or hear a kiwi, especially if you visit at dusk or later.
