Great Waihi Beach Bach

Very well-appointed kiwi bach with excellent interior decorating including some fantastic kiwi bach memorabilia.Very clean and well laid out. A highlight is definitely the outdoor bath on the back deck. Looking up at the stars with a glass of wine in hand is a must do.

What a awesome bach by waihi beach

We absolutely loved our weekend away in this gorgeous bach. Such a beautiful location & the bach had everything you could want. Our dogs came along for the trip, it is so hard to find a place to take them with us so it ticked all the boxes. Donna was the best host we could have asked for! So accomodating & we had not one issue with anything. Check in was super easy & we had access to the boogie boards & bikes which were great fun. The outdoor bath is so relaxing aswell. Can't recommend it enough! Thank you again Donna

A Perfect Getaway

We had a lovely stay in this Bach. The rustic charm and homely feel made it a great spot to relax. The location is ideal—close to cafes, shops, and just a short walk to the beach. The bach is well-equipped, comfortable, and the deck areas are perfect for unwinding (we loved the hammock!). The gardens add a nice touch, and the bikes were great for exploring. Highly recommend for a cozy, convenient beach retreat!

The perfect Waihi Beach bach

The bach is in a great location, a short walk to the beach, the shops and the RSA. It is well equiped, including some very cool games that we hadn't seen before. Fully deserving of the good reviews from others who have stayed there before us.

Waihi escape

We have been to Waihi Beach a number of times over the years when the children were young and wish we had found this earlier. Great family bach a short stroll to the beach and with all the home comforts needed to relax and entertain. Great elevated private deck, outdoor seating, outdoor shower, games and more. Will definitely look to stay again.

Awesome Accommodation

This property is very homely in a lovely way. You can tell it has been much loved and it is jam-packed full of memories! Our first night was very stormy, but it was warm and cozy inside, thanks to the wonderful open fire. It is 5 minutes walk to the beach and a definite "must do again!"

Cozy Winter Retreat in Waihi: A Perfect Kiwi Getaway!

We can't rate our stay highly enough! Donna was incredibly lovely and even offered an early check-in and late check-out if we wanted. It was our first time staying in Waihi, and we would love to come back again! The house felt homely with all the charming Kiwi bach quirks. The fireplace was amazing to use during the wet and wild winter night we experienced, and the outdoor hot tub under the stars was pure magic. The deck, sheltered and cozy, was the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee. The house was warm, clean, and beautifully decorated. It had plenty of firewood, and there's nothing this house doesn't have—everything from baking dishes to umbrellas to activities. My partner and I had a lovely stay with our two small dogs. Everyone in Waihi was super friendly, and the beach was just a short stroll down the road. The Flatwhite Café and the Surf Shack Eatery are a must! Coffee from Hui Coffee was also perfect! Thank you again for our stay—we hope to be back again soon!

Great location. Great amenity

We loved our stay. The Bach had everything we needed and more. Very spacious, covered outdoor dining was perfect in bad weather. Young kids thought it was the best ever, well equipped with toys and games etc and my husband kept complimenting the retro, Bachy decor. Thank you.

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.
