Amazingly well thought out welcome instructions. Very well stocked with everything you need from plunger to bbq tongs to bikes! A lovely classic kiwi bach so close to the beach.
The Bach was perfect. Super comfortable, incredibly well equipped, and with a lovely beach styling inside and out. It’s close to the beach and everything else you might need.Could not recommend more!
Excellent bach and lovely stay -- but note you will need to take your own sheets and bath towels. Great location walking distance from the beach. Quiet and comfortable. Good beds.
Fantastic placement the whare was warm clean and had everything we needed The bikes beach gear and outdoor bathtub were all utilised Would absolutely recommend to anyone
We had a great stay at Donna's over ANZAC Weekend. The property was everything we expected it to be, and more - we loved the traditional kiwi bach charm and the incredibly homely feel. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable, with two decks to make sure you can catch the sun all day, and it's a short walk to the beach and shops which is ideal.Donna was such a great host - awesome communication, really flexible, and obviously really cares about everyone making sure they have a great stay at their house. Our 2 year old decided to lean on a glass tabletop and broke it (sorry!) but Donna was so understanding and is arranging something sturdier instead of the same thing happening in future.We couldn't recommend highly enough!
Super awesome set up. Very clean and has everything you need. Close to the beach. Hosts are super friendly and organised. We had the best time and would love to stay here again.
Loved out stay here! Such a perfect little home, wish we would have spent longer here!

About the host
Hosted by thekays
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.
