It might be starting to cool off but days like this at Otehei Bay say otherwise ☀️

Pop in for lunch at the café, find a spot in the sun and if you’re tempted.. the water’s just refreshing enough for a cheeky dip 😉

Easter Monday done right 🐣☀️
Our annual Family Fun Day at Otehei Bay was full of laughs, games, and some seriously impressive sandcastle creations 🏖️

Thank you to all the families who came along and made it such a fun day! 💛
And a big thank you to Amy from Clubtastic Bay of Islands for organising all the fun activities for the kids 🙌 Clubtastic Bay of Islands

Nothing better than seeing everyone enjoying a day out in the bay, see you next Easter 🐰✨
