Sandbach - Ohiwa Harbour

Located on the sea side of Ohiwa Harbour Road, this beautiful family bach is ideally sandwiched between ocean and harbour, providing a place where you can do as much or as little as you feel.

Delightful, comfortable, relaxing, fun...this holiday home will mean so much to all who spend their time here. Located between Ohiwa Harbour and Beach, with Onekawa Te Mawhai Regional Park, just around the corner, there are many opportunites to create a fabulous holiday.  There's glow worms too, either in the regional park area, or along the beach. There are great living spaces, inside and out, with outdoor dining at either end of the property, which means you can work around the sun and the wind. With three bedrooms and bunks in the generous size games room, there is space for the biggest family or a group of friends wanting some pristine time out from today's pace. There's plenty to do inside too, with lots of games, books and a pool table in the games room and wifi, if you wish to connect to the outside world. But maybe you won't feel the need to do so.

In short, it is one of those holiday homes that you and your family could return to year after year, creating lasting memories of sundrenched days and star filled nights.

Sandbach is located near the end of a road and as such is a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance to the beach, harbour and Onekawa Te Mawhai Regional Park. It is also close to Ohiwa Holiday Park.

A vehicle is required to get in and around Opotiki and surrounding areas.
Pre-Authorization Damage Deposit Hold
To ensure coverage for any potential incidentals or damages during your stay, Bush to Bay Holiday Stays will place a temporary pre-authorization hold of $250 on your credit card two days before check-out. This is a standard practice in the hospitality industry and serves as a placeholder for any additional charges before final billing.
⚠️ Important: A pre-authorization hold is not a charge—it simply reserves funds temporarily. If no incidental costs or damages occur, the hold will be released after check-out, depending on your bank’s processing time.

Beautiful place
I almost don't want to say the nice things so this place stays a secret! Lovely bach in a lovely location away from the crowds. We were unlucky with the weather but braved the wind and rain every day to walk around from the beach to the harbour and watch the oyster catchers, dotterels and weka who call this place home. And the pool table gave us many hours of enjoyment and valuable family bonding time. Thanks so much for sharing this special place with us.
