About this property
Beach Belle, 1960’s Bach
Iconic Kiwi retro bach with plenty of room for family and friends to enjoy everything Bowentown & surrounding areas have to offer.
The Beach Belle is your total " home away from home”.
Spacious and fully furnished with all the amenities you will ever need for a relaxing holiday!
So pack your bags and leave the kitchen sink behind ladies 🤗
BB offers lots of areas to relax in and you can enjoy the sun from the front patio, with a fabulous view of the estuary, and watch boats heading to the very popular Bowentown boat club and ramps, or retreat with your drinks to the covered deck behind the house and listen to the native birds in the surrounding trees.x
A large outdoor area at the back of the BB is available with a full filleting station , the second toilet and a cold outdoor shower to wash the sand away.
It's a perfect space to down a few coldies and discuss the one that got away !
Plenty of space to park your boat and cars
A stunning surf beach , quiet child friendly harbour and an estuary are all a short walk from the BB and you'll find the boogie boards in the basement with bats and balls and other outdoor activities to ensure you have a fun day at the beach or in the backyard.
There are lots of choices for shopping , coffee and dining out in Waihi Beach village and also a short drive will take you to Athenree, where you can relax in the fabulous hot pools, Karangahake Gorge and Waihi for popular walking and riding trails , gold mining tours or a train ride from Waikino to Waihi and back .
