Summary: Thanks for a great stay in Opunake: the constantly changing sight of Mt Taranaki out the window; beautifully mown, big back lawn for ball-chasing dog; best frying pan I've encountered in a bach. Appreciated being given the option of parking inside the perimeter fence, especially on arrival in pouring rain! Craig was an excellent host communicating promptly. Also enjoyed bath, log burner and bbq (though we needed to clean off previous occupants' grease and empty ashes before starting the fire. Also one couch had lost a few springs/inner padding) These were anomalies though in an otherwise very clean, tidy, well presented place.
