And this is why we can't have nice things Ōpōtiki.

Ōpōtiki District Council are currently refurbishing the Hukuwai toilets and to ensure facilities are still available while the work is going on, we have a couple of our portaloos there for the public to use.

If you've seen a distinctive blue portaloo suddenly appear near you that shouldn't be there, please let us know. There will be a reward for any information that leads to the recovery of it.

Good morning Opotiki!
Quick status update: We are open!

We are running in a very reduced capacity however, with only a couple of computers running. We do have Eftpos available but we have no phone system.

Unfortunately, we have no generators left either for hire or sale.

We have plenty of chainsaws and water pumps in stock.

If you need to ring us, please call my cell on 0211146693.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
