Excellent retro bach

Easy communion, great back, perfect for our family. Great location, v clean, comfy beds, definitely recommended. Main bedroom and one single bed in the house, other beds are in separate building which might not suit for small children.

Classic beach bach

This is a classic old fashioned bach in a great location, close to the swimming end of Waihi Beach. If you are after bright, shiny and new this is not for you but if you like character, charm and a bit of history, this place is a cutie. There are lots of bedding options, it is clean and has an awesome fire place - all at a good value price.

Charming beach cottage with a lovely sheltered deck which was great during the rainy weather.

Charming beach cottage with a lovely sheltered deck which was great during the rainy weather. We look forward to returning in winter to try out the fireplace in the lounge. Guidebooks to local attractions included, with a handwritten list of must see/do stuff. Another bonus was the large fridge/freezer which meant we didn't have to do repeated shopping trips. My partner and I are looking forward to going again.

Great bach

Lovely little bach - unassuming but cute. Great woodburner and sunny deck out the back. Loved the character of the place and the location too, though it's one of those old wooden buildings where on a sunny winter's day, it is warmer outside than in (unless you have the fire going)... Thanks for a great winter break.

Fantastic

Bach is in a Superb spot with a short walk to the beach and absolutely love the outside rooms which kids would enjoy and everything you need inside, a beautiful hot shower, lovely deck and some amazing old photos of Waihi beach and the old bits and pieces in the bach are really cool. We love the area as our grandad owned the bach across the Road and it bought back some really special memories. Come and try the place you will not be disappointed. Don't think about it just book it.
