Stunning views and outstanding guide - We had an amazing trip to Opuke — the surrounding views are absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Brad, was brilliant from start to finish. He even picked us up early so we could take in some truly spectacular spots along the way. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly nature made the whole experience extra special. I would definitely recommend this trip (and Brad!) to anyone visiting the area — it was a real highlight of our travels.

Solo spa experience well worth it - the stars are amazing - Absolutely amazing watching the sunset and stars come out from our own hot pool- good unobtrusive service from staff for good and drinks (although there is a 2 drink maximum per person) There is an excellent area that allows children as well as an adult only area but the solo spa is an amazing experience for a couple wanting to just relax and look at the amazing night sky

Do yourself a favour and go - Wonderful place. Looks like a luxury spa. Lovely plantings, attractive pools. The lazy river was awesome, just to float around. Options to do the more affordable $32 for 2 hours. No chemicals. Sustainable. Lovely relaxing place - highly recommend!
