Really enjoyed our stay of 4 nights. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play its part but the bach had an extensive dvd selection, games and puzzles to keep us occupied. Great communication from the owners, fantastic location - close to beach and shopping.
It’s our tenth year down at Waihi Beach but first time at the bach. Everything was perfect and the bach added to a great holiday enjoyed by our group. Great spot close to beach and the town centre. Huge backyard for games that we played volleyball, croquet, Finska & cricket. Great selection of dvds for the rain day. The owners were really nice and easy to deal with.
Great old school Kiwi bach. Plenty of room for six adults and two kids. We particularly liked the location (just across the road from the beach), the large backyard, and the rumpus room downstairs.
We absolutely loved our stay. Great location, close to the beach and a short walk to town. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and play and adults to relax.
Great location, across the street to beach access. Nice central location .
Nice tidy homely Bach stay. Suited our family group of surfers and fishers perfectly. Great off street parking easy turning at rear of the section and easy walking to central shopping and cross street to the beach.

Great guests they really looked after our Bach. Welcome to stay again. Cheers
Our 3rd time staying at this property, great location, fun property for the kids and a relaxed house to enjoy. Short walk to beach and shops. Easy communication with owner - highly recommend!
Awesome place in an amazing location at Waihī Beach
Our stay at Matt's bach was fantastic. The bach itself was exactly what we expected, and a fantastic space for a couple of families with young kids to stay.
The location couldn't be better, just a block back from the beach and a short stroll into the village.
Matt also really looked after us, giving us early check-in and a very late check-out at no extra cost.
Can't rate the place highly enough, and are looking forward to staying again!
This bach is right up our alley, traditional and basic, but clean and swallowed us all up easily. Great to have a second TV/lounge for the kids. Lovely big section. Location can't be beaten, especially at this price.
The Bach is a good location. But we didn't find it very clean, and there was a musty smell in the house and cupboards where crockery was kept. Bathroom certainly needs an update. The inside of cooker had not been touched.
The communication with the Bach owner/manager was good and instructions clear. The Bach itself needs a good deep clean. The curtains, bedding, carpets, couch and rugs felt damp. We aired the place as much as we could, but the damp smell remained. Lots of games available and good space in the backyard. Across the road from the beach and close to shops, so a fun time overall.
Great place for all the family clean nd tidy good communication with owner /manager plenty of room
Perfect bach perfect location perfect weekend ;-)

About the host
Hosted by Matt
I live in the Bay and grew up not far from our bach and spent a lot of time as I was growing up staying at the bach playing on the beach and in the water, fishing, boating and diving. This is my favorite place to be.
Why they chose this property
My Grandfather built this house and it has been in the family for generations. We have upgraded it over the years but it still has the original character and is a place all our family love staying at and having fun at the beach.
What makes this property unique
Large flat section with pohutukawas at the back. Just across the road from the beach.
