Just a 15-minute drive from Ōhope Beach and only steps from the estuary, this inviting haven blends family fun with effortless coastal relaxation. Waiotahe Beach is less than 3km away, placing you close to some of the region’s best sandy stretches.

The heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living area designed for easy holiday living. Large doors open onto a generous deck featuring outdoor seating, your own private swimming pool with a view, and an adjacent wood burning BBQ. It's the perfect spot for slow mornings, sunset evenings, and everything in between.

Inside, you’ll find a modern kitchen equipped with all the essentials, plus a coffee machine and dishwasher. Fast WiFi and a Smart TV offer plenty of entertainment options, complemented by books and board games for when you’re ready to unwind.

Ideal for families or groups, Hihi O Te Rā features three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom includes a private ensuite, while ducted air-conditioning throughout ensure a pleasant stay in every season. A closed wood fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere during cooler months, and a full laundry adds extra convenience for longer stays. Off-street parking is available, including space for a five-metre vessel.

Adventure is right on your doorstep. Launch a kayak from the water’s edge at the bottom of the driveway (best within two hours either side of high tide), or head to the Ohiwa Boat Ramp for excellent access to the harbour and local fishing spots.

The beach, surf club, and bike trails are all within easy reach. Cycle toward the Waiotahe Estuary or Ōpōtiki to connect with the renowned Motu Trails. Golfers will love having Ōpōtiki Golf Club ten minutes away.

With Ōpōtiki just 10 minutes’ drive and Whakatāne only 30 minutes from the property, Hihi O Te Rā - “Sunbeam” - offers the perfect base for your next Bay of Plenty escape.
