Great location, great view, great rental
The view of the harbor from the 2nd story porch was very picturesque - the noise from the boats or the ferry never bothered us. There was a general store nearby for some supplies, but most shopping required a bigger store. The location was near enough to Paihia for restaurants when we didn't feel like cooking. The kitchen was well equipped and had enough stainless steel countertop to make workspace for the cutting boards, etc. The 2 under-counter fridges were sufficient for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well situated and everything needed was there. The whole rental was very well layed out and furnished. The host, Anita, greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to relax.

Lovely stay
The Loft is everything it looks like - and more: beautifully furnished and designed, gorgeous outlook over the water and boats, and wonderful location - with great coffee, a large marina, and a lovely cafe all within a two minute walk. We will definitely be back!

Simply stunning
The loft was exactly as described and seen in the photos. Anita was there to greet us and the apartment was thoroughly cleaned. She had kindly left us a few items to get us started and recommended the explorer for a wonderful day out in the Bay. Would certainly recommend to friends.

Outstanding Opua Accommodation
Wonderful stay in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Anita was very helpful and easy to work with, and she was there to greet us when we arrived. The Loft is a beautiful space with all the amenities you could want, and very easy place from which to explore the Bay. Thanks Anita and Matthew for a fabulous family stay.

It was incredible being on the water, especially in the afternoon, sitting on the deck watching the world go by. The property is immaculate, the photos don't show how lovely it really is. Hosts Anita and Mathew were brilliant. We'll come back for sure...thank you.

The Loft
Fabulous place to stay!! Had everything we were looking for and more. Anita Jane and Mathew provided little extras too that added to the experience, and were there at a drop of a hat to help with anything, fantastic hosts thank you. Great location close to everything you need including a berth for our boat right at the door. Amazing accomodation, clean, cosy and comfortable. Thanks for a wonderful holiday, we are already looking to book for next year.

Idyllic on the water
This property is absolutely excellent. Right on the water at Opua with lovely views. The apartment is very well appointed and tastefully decorated. We lived on the balcony which has great shade and sea breezes. So restful and lots to look at with the ferry comings and goings and the boaties and fisherpeople. Anita Jane and Matthew were brilliant to deal with. We will be back!

Long weekend away
Modern understated but high quality convenience with character. Fabulous position with interesting active harbour activity. We expected some noise but were surprised at how peaceful The Loft was being right next to the Opua Wharf and car ferry. Highly recommend a stay at this property.

A perfect weekend!
When we arrived, Anita and Matthew thought of everything to get us started on our weekend! We were pleasantly surprised to see they left us snacks, drinks and a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a welcoming note. The apartment is awesome! The view is stunning, the beds are comfortable and the entire place is very modern! They graciously offered their kayaks and motor boat to use and explore Opua harbor, which we very much enjoyed! Thank you for a weekend to remember, Anita and Matthew!
