Ōhope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park sits right on the beachfront at Port Ōhope, on the easternmost stretch of the Ōhope coastline, with 11km of golden sand on one side and the calm waters of Ōhiwa Harbour on the other. Small rolling waves and safe swimming have made it a classic Kiwi holiday spot for generations.
You'll be a short drive from Whakatāne, the "Sunshine Capital of New Zealand", and minutes from the Ngā Tapuwae o Toi walking trail, Tio Ōhiwa Oyster Farm and the kiwi of Ōhope Scenic Reserve. Out to sea, Moutohorā (Whale Island) sits on the horizon.
However you like to holiday — ocean-view villa, unit, cabin, safari tent, powered site or a simple tent pitch — there's a spot for you here.
