Detailed Reviews
when you have ohope beach resort. this place has it all. No need to get in your car once your here. Walk to beach. Corner store next door. Wharf jumping and parks. Resort has amazing pools including spa, lap pool and swimming pools. We love tennis in our family so having a court right in-front of us was awesome and a great golf course down the road. Little bro loved learning how to play pool. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment (h1d). Kitchen had all facilities needed to cook anything also had 2 draw dishwasher which meant no need to do dishes. Only little suggestion is more laundry and dishwashing powder in the rooms as we ran out. Teens loved the good wifi. Overall would greatly recommend for a getaway with family and friends.

If you are looking for a quality beachfront stay in Ohope then this property can't be bettered. Unfortunately we could only fit in one night but we will certainly return for an extended break. From the quality fittings to included washing machine and drier everything has been done to the highest standard. We had booked a one bedroom Deluxe apartment and this included a very large balcony with dining table, casual chairs and recliners provided. It is only a few metres across the road to the lovely Ohope Beach.

We stayed three nights over a long weekend. The bed was too hard the first night but it was no trouble for the hosts to show us another room with a really comfy bed.
We enjoyed riding our bikes along the beach to West Ohope, dining at the Wharf restaurant and plenty of walks along the beach and harbour. The takeaways and coffees were excellent at the cafe next door.
Our room was a nice design and very quiet.
We will definitely be back and we recommend this resort to couples and families.

Thank you Terry for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We will mention to the owners that you found the bed hard for your liking. It is the first time someone has found that bed uncomfortable but we will endeavor to look at this. Ohope is a beautiful spot for walking, biking and beaching.

Our welcome on arrival was great with good explanations of various aspects of the apartment that we booked.
The apartment itself was large with two separate, slightly odd-shaped bedrooms. One with a reasonably comfortable queen bed, the other two singles.
The bathrooms were clean and the view from the living room pretty with a substantial deck area.
But, in spite of that, the living and dining room furniture was a real let down. It seems each apartment is owned separately and furnished by the individual. This apartment had very old, dated lounge furniture that was tired and really not up to standard. The dining room table and chairs were plastic 'rattan' and definitely outdoor furniture which was odd. The carpet was buckled in places and while the kitchen seemed clean, there was a strong smell of old food through area. The kitchen equipment and crockery seems to be an eclectic mix of things no one wanted but couldn't throw away.
The deck was very pleasant but the clear glass divider between our apartment and the neighboring apartment's deck meant it was all a bit awkward when we sat outside pretending that we couldn't see/hear each other.
Probably wonderful for beach-loving families but a bit disappointing for us. Maybe a different apartment would have been nicer......

We are glad you enjoyed the location. Yes, the apartments are individually owned and some are furnishings are more favourable depending on your taste in decor. I am not sure which apartment you stayed in. We like to hear guests opinions so that we can pass these onto owners and seek to improve and maintain a high standard for all our apartments.

the facilities were good ie pools and spa but in the actual apartment the bed was so uncomfortable. Also there is absolutely no pantry. Make sure to take your own salt, pepper and olive oil from home if you plan on cooking.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort. Cannot think of anything negative to say as trip met my expectations. Travelled with my elderly mother with reduced mobility so easy access was important. Already looking forward to staying there again in the future.

We only stayed for one night. Next time it will be more. Our apartment had ocean and harbour views which made for a very relaxed picturesque stay. Our hosts were great welcoming us on arrival and informed us with all we needed to know to make our stay very enjoyable in such a peaceful setting. Great walks along the beach or harbour side with good eating options in the area. We will be back.

Three nights relaxing in a spacious two bedroom apartment with glorious ocean views and a peak of the harbour as well.
We enjoyed the kind hospitality of the managers Janine and Dave who made sure we made the most of the facilities and the surrounds.
We played tennis, had a spa, walked along the beautiful Ohope beach and sunbathed on our deck- in August!!
With 2 pools, a games room and the beach and harbour in short walking distance - it would be great to return with our extended family.

Our youth council group were not allowed to stay in a pent house room we booked to celebrate our achievements for 2020 and were told last minute we could not stay because we are youth.
We tried reasoning with them but told the managers didn’t want us there.
Not a youth friendly environment

Response from Noel Hadwen, Owner at Ohope Beach Resort
Responded 11 Dec 2020
We would like to explain to anyone who reads this that the leaders rang us the morning of the event to book a penthouse for 10 people. The penthouse only sleeps 7 and then they explained that it was a youth event and there would be 10-12 youth and that most of them would not be staying. So the event was really a function. We do not own the resort and the owners (BodyCorp) have a policy where only registered guests can use the resort facilities. Hence we do not hold functions here and are purely a holiday resort. Other organisations have asked about holding a function here and we keep to the BodyCorp's policy and we have not allowed this. It would seem that the leaders have previously organised an event and it had fallen through. Our discussion was over a 30 minute period and yet they have blamed us for their event being cancelled. We are very disappointed with the unprofessional approach of the youth leaders in putting the blame of their cancelled event on us when we were a last minute attempt to organise something that had previously fallen through. We have many families with youth staying here for their holidays and weekends away.

Both spa pools and pools have a rail by the steps to help people into the pools.

This seems to be a question asked over a year ago. We are new owners so I am not sure what happened here. I am thinking the room had been cleaned and the linen was to be done the next day and this was not followed through because of lack of communication.
The question is a mystery as The Resort has been prepared and presented exceptionally every time we have stayed there. Happy to recommend it highly - and will definitely continue to stay there.
