‘Lakewood 5’ is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, very comfortable home built in 2014. The tinted bi-fold doors are north facing and open onto the deck. East facing ranch sliders look out to Gilmour Lake and you can bbq out here while watching the sun set. The lounge has a Smart TV, DVD, CD’s for you pleasure and the heat pump in the cooler months will keep you nice and cosy and warm.
Behind Gilmour Lake and within 500 metres of the house is the Blackhill walking/clyce track. If you are into the outdoors then the Karangahake Gorge is just a short distance and the walking/tramping tracks around Waihi and Dickies Flat are definitely worth the effort. Waihi has the only working open cast mine that is in the middle of a town in New Zealand and also has a walking/cycle track around the circumference and is about 1 km from the house.
Not to mention Waihi Beach, 10 km of white sands and Pacific Ocean. By car it is only 10 minutes away. A beautiful beach and small village with eateries aplenty to wet your appetite especially after all that exercise!!! Waihi Beach has one of the biggest RSA’s in the land and the view is to die for.
Waihi is only 40 minutes to our nearest city – Tauranga and only 1 and a half hours to Auckland so we really are in the hub of things.
Don’t delay, book now for that weekend away to explore all that Waihi and its surrounding areas has to give.

Our guests were very easy to communicate with no problems and the house was left spotless.
Shame the weather wasn't the best for them.
Would have no hesitation to rent to them again.
Was unfortunate we couldn't meet them on arrival to give them more local points of interest.
The house is quiet and sunny and very clean. The owners were friendly and helpful. They were relaxed about the check in time, which made it easy for us.
Was absolutely beautiful! Perfect location and the nicest owners! Thank you Guys for allowing us in your home, would definitely recommend
