Unfortunately we we’re on a working trip and didn’t get to indulge on all the wonderful things this cute beach batch had to offer,Nevertheless the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, the fire place was a huge plus being a country boy enjoyed that much more than a heat pump!!!Thanks so much for letting us rest cook and clean there. 10/10

About the host

Hosted by thekays

Host profile image
We purchased this bach after 30 years of family holidays at Waihi Beach where we dreamed of one day owning our own piece of this paradise.
We have fond memories of the many baches we rented over the years, and are thrilled to now share this home with other families.

Why they chose this property

We love holidaying at Waihi Beach. The beach is safe for swimming and surfing and you can easily walk the track to Orokawa or The Trig. There are many excellent cafes and restaurants nearby and unique shopping in the village. The Hauraki Rail Trail is great for biking or day hikes.

What makes this property unique

This 1950's bach is ideally suited to people who want a traditional NZ holiday just one block back from the beach.
We aim to keep this bach reasonably priced by not charging a mandatory cleaning fee, damage deposits, or extra per person charges. There are extra squabs for children to sleep in the lounge or on the extra single bed. We don't want loud parties at the bach (we like our neighbours!), but you are welcome to have friends/family gather for meals or happy hour.
Pets and children welcome.
