A fire pit in the front and a lovely terraced garden at the back which provide lots of outdoor interest. Ample parking. Waikino school which can be viewed from the house has a neat little playground which resounds with the laughter of children.
This area and surrounds has bush walks and mountain hikes up the slopes of Mt's Karangahake and nearby Mt Te Aroha. Relax in the hot pools in Te Aroha.
Surf at Waihi beach and swim the cool waters at Dickey Flats. Immerse yourself in the historic past of this goldmining area.
The goldfields historic railway is just minutes from the house. This vintage train makes a one-hour 6.5km trip from Waihi to Waikino and back. There are trains Mon-Fri at 10am, 11.45am and 1.45pm, and everyday during school holidays and throughout Jan and Feb.

About the host

Hosted by rakaig42

Host profile image
I am a retired Art teacher and have also shared the responsibility of several businesses with my husband. We have 5 adult children and many mokopuna who enjoy Starry Nights occasionally. I have a passion for my garden and love this area. Waikino village has an active community spirit, is quiet and scenic and handy to lots of outdoor activities. The cabins are cosy and unique three of which have their own decks but share the toilet and shower. I love meeting fellow travellers and sharing this paradise with you all.

What makes this property unique

Cycle the gorge and carry on to Waihi, Paeroa, Te Aroha and Thames. Tramp the local tracks through the beautiful bush and alongside rivers. Learn about NZ's gold mining history in Waihi, Waikino and the surrounding area. Lots to do and repeat doing.
