Excellent stay! The location is 10/10!! The house was perfect for our family to stay, it wasn’t too fancy which suited us great, it was comfortable but not too precious. We did bring our own deck chairs which we were grateful to have. Good supply of cooking dishes and crockery which was great.

This is a great bach in an amazing location. We had a wonderful weekend here. Its right next to the surf club for safe swimming. Just 2 minutes walk to the dairy, and cafes in both directions. It was clean and tidy and fitted our large family perfectly.

About the host

Hosted by James Gollogly

Host profile image
I live in Auckland but grew up spending lots of time down at the Waihi Bach. It is always a pleasure to provide couples and families with the exciting atmosphere residing in the property during the heat of the day as well as the feeling of peace during the quiet nights and early mornings.

Why they chose this property

Who wouldn't choose this area of land so close to the beach? Other notable features in close proximity to the Bach include the Surf club, the Flat White cafe (just a 1km walk along the beach), and the stream directly beside the property.

What makes this property unique

You won't find a place closer to the beach than 1 The Esplanade. The property grants all tides access to the north end of Waihi beach and provides stunning panoramic views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
