About this property

A Waihi Beach Escape. relaxing contemporary retro

Our bach is fun, funky and relaxing to be in. Bi-folding doors open onto a good sized deck creating lovely indoor/outdoor flow. The large barbeque and outdoor table and chairs can easily be set up on the covered deck or private grassed area as desired.
Although it offers room for one or two families, couples will enjoy the bach's attention to detail (a continuing work in progress) and its ability to comfortably sleep three couples who can enjoy their own privacy. A second toilet and private outdoor shower can be accessed from the outside - handy for those sleeping in the beach hut, coming off the beach or just in nearby rooms.

The split king bed in the blue room can be put together or serve as 2 single beds as preferred. All the beds are comfortable and most are new with good quality bedding. Three of the rooms have ranch sliders opening out onto the grassed area and two have louvres allowing both independent access when the place is unlocked and plenty of ventilation on those hot summer days and nights. Hot water bottles supplied but no electric blankets on beds in house.

Offering both sun and shade the bach is nestled between pohutakawa trees and pines in a quiet cul de sac and is very private. Having no TV ensures games are played, books are read...There are many games available as well as 'beach toys' and essentials, 3 push bikes and 2 sit-on kayaks.
Despite there being no dishwasher, the kitchen is well equipped for the culinary-inclined.

The 'hi-fi' unit is a Tivoli radio with speaker for an iPod/cell phone with bluetooth.

Waihi Beach is a gem for its beauty, its walks, surf and trendy boutique shops, cafes, and eateries. the gateway to the Hauraki rail trail and the Karangahake Gorge where you can take a train ride, enjoy the walks and swimming holes, or discover the out-of-the-way art and craft outlets. Athenree Hot Pools are 5 minutes away by car or a paddle across the harbour. Tauranga is 50 minutes away by car.
Special conditions:
Families and couples.
Unsuitable for parties as is in a quiet cul de sac.
Unsafe for toddlers or little children as property is not fully fenced.

Be mindful there is no TV, and no dishwasher. For the winter there are electric blankets only in the beach hut but unable to use heater in beach hut.
Thank you.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$50.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen. (towels/sheets/tea towels)and so this is not included in the cost.

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Wheeler

Host profile image
From living in Auckland, my husband and I moved into our bach toward the end of 2021. We designed the bach together and it was built in 2010.
We've enjoyed holidays here with family and friends as well as it being the home of Art Break Waihi for around 8 years (a small business interest taking art weekend holidays). When living in Auckland we have rented our bach out to many families and holiday-makers and so this place has been part of many happy memories...with many more to come!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property because of the mature trees (Pohutakawas and Pines) and its proximity to the beach and village. For our budget, it ticked all the boxes and was the perfect place to build our modern easy-care bach. Waihi Beach is close to some of our family and there are so many interesting places to be and see and activities to enjoy here.

What makes this property unique

Built Xmas 2010 our bach remains contemporary and fresh with its indoor/outdoor flow. The outdoor toilet and shower are great features, especially for those returning from the beach. Being in a cul-de-sac it is quiet and the planting provides greenery, shade, and privacy. SO close to the beach too!
