What I didn’t consider was Opononi has a population of 270, so it’s a tiny settlement. Options for dining & groceries very limited. I should have taken my own supplies of food & alcohol, especially over Easter. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Markus Dec 9, 2024 Disliked: Communication Shortly after arrival, we found cockroaches in a cabinet. There was also a power outage for a while. We tried numerous times to contact the owners of the apartment for assistance. We called all the contact phone numbers provided. Nobody ever answered the phone. We left the next day and never heard from the owners. The apartment was quite nice and well equipped. But since it is impossible to get in touch with the owners, I would not book this place again. ##### Markus Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tania G.
