New Zealand“The location was great, just a few minutes walk to the beach and then you could walk down the beach for a bit to the shops and cafes. Loved the heated bathroom floor and the water pressure in the shower was amazing”- Betty
China“It’s cozy, feel like staying at my own house. Facilities are great and new.” - Patrick
Canada“Close walk to the beach, suite has a separate entrance, and is located at the back of the house. Good size suite, lots of windows and light.” - Caleb New Zealand“Such a lovely area, a quick walk away from the beach. The owners were helpful and reached out to us with directions, and responded promptly to messages. The room was clean and comfy, and we were able to chuck something on the TV in the evening.”
Lizzie New Zealand“It's such a lovely spot to stay by the beach! My time was stormy, but I enjoyed rainy walks on the beach and coming back to a cozy room looking out into the garden. Good food places around Waihi, easy walk to the beach, the hosts were available...”

This well appointed room is ideal for one or two people. It is set at the rear of a residential house that looks out onto a quiet garden area. It is secluded surrounded by plants that gives privacy. There is an outside table and chairs in this area which captures the afternoon sun. It is close to the nearby beach and the sound of the waves can be heard.
The room has a kitchenette and seating area making the stay very comfortable.
There is a flatscreen television that provides Netflix and Freeview TV on Demand. There is also TV NZ On Demand which gives access to live television for TV One which includes live news.
The toilet shower room is just outside the main entry door and provides good hot water pressure.
IN HOUSE MASSAGE AVAILABLE: Highly recommended by hosts.
For further information contact hosts at time of booking.
Over the years we have loved travelling and stayed in some wonderful places. We would now like to give guests the opportunity to share our home and the wonderful things that Waihi Beach has to offer.
A great popular beach location close to the surf club North End with local takeaway fast food grocery shop and a very good busy cafe just around the corner. The neighbourhood is a mixture of permanent and out of town owners. The area is still very beach traditional with minimal development in terms of any high rise buildings.
