About this property

Bowentown Break at Waihi Beach

Beachside Bach in Bowentown

Welcome to your Bowentown bach beautifully refreshed for relaxed, easy holiday living in one of the Bay of Plenty’s most loved coastal pockets on Waihi beach. This light-filled retreat blends classic Kiwi charm with comfortable, contemporary touches, perfect for families, couples, or beach and boating enthusiasts.

Inside the main house are two welcoming bedrooms designed for easy holiday living. The main bedroom offers a cosy queen bed, and the second bedroom provides a single bed plus a single bunk set, giving families plenty of flexible sleeping space.

A separate sleepout provides extra room and privacy, offering a queen bed along with single bunks, making it ideal for extended family, kids, or friends.

Step outside and you’re just a short stroll to everything Bowentown is known for—the ocean beach for swims and surf, the peaceful harbour estuary for paddling and exploring, and convenient access to the Bowentown Boating and Sport Fishing Club, boat ramp, and local reserves. Families will love being able to walk to the kids’ playground, while nearby cafés make grabbing a coffee or treat effortless.

Whether you’re unwinding on the sunny deck, heading out on the water, or watching the kids move between sea and sand, this bach offers the perfect base for an easy, laid-back coastal escape.

Basic old style bach but with everything we needed although there was a bit of a queu for the bathroom at times with 3 teenage girls! Great location with easy access to the surf beach and the estuary. Not far from Anzac bay also. Very helpful host.

Fantastic little property which sleeps a fair number of people for its size! Didn’t feel crowded, enough room for 7 of us. It felt homely, it had everything basic thing we needed. The hosts provided linen and towels. Was awesome to find a box of toys for the little ones was a great boredom buster discovery! Puzzles and games available. 5 minute walk to the beach. Would 100% stay again! Thanks so much for having us!
