Why they chose this property
The Barn was completed in December 2020 and was designed by local artist and interior designer Ange Lee Mackay as a bespoke romantic hideaway. The results are stunning and will delight guests. Enter via a Balinese bamboo fence into a secret courtyard garden featuring tropical planting, a Weber BBQ, copper outdoor rainhead shower, bar leaner outdoor dining table and low loungers for relaxing with that well deserved summer drink. Flowing from the courtyard into the lounge area with oversized leather couch and smart TV with unlimited WiFi and many preloaded apps such as Netflix, perfect for snuggling up to watch your favourite show. Open plan living area includes a full designer kitchen that also has a washer/dryer, air conditioning, dining table for two and all the appliances and kitchenware you will need whether you just want to make a coffee or cook a gourmet meal. The kitchen leads upstairs to a romantic mezzanine bedroom with king size slat bed that has a luxury Ecosa mattress and organic cotton linens. Relaxing in bed you can view another smart TV, we also provide Turkish cotton beach towels and linen robes for your use during your stay, these can be found in the antique Chinese wardrobe. The bedroom has an adjoining en-suite with full size double ended sunken bath for two, walk in rain head shower and feature art lighting. The Barn is carefully curated for a relaxing stay and you will want to return again and again to this unique beach hideaway.
What makes this property unique
Our place is just a short walk across the adjoining reserve to either the beautiful white sand and waves of Waihi Beach or the sheltered Anzac Bay (no waves, boat ramp, excellent fishing). Anzac Bay has a resident coffee cart that also does real fruit ice cream and smoothies all summer long. There's also a small store & cafe just across the reserve at the camp-ground for any essentials. The adjoining reserve also has a cricket ground and newly updated mountain bike pump track. There's also a basketball court and coin operated tennis court within the subdivision of Pio Shores. From the nearby Bowentown reserve (next to boat club) there’s a walking/bike track from Bowentown up the estuary that ends near the award winning Surf Shack Café, a lovely excursion for breakfast or lunch. The nearby Waihi Beach village has a host of great boutique shops and cafes to complete your holiday experience as well as bike hire service. We also recommend the walk from the north end of the beach over to Orakawa Bay (approx 45 mins one way) and exploring nearby Waihi town and the walking and biking tracks in beautiful Karangahape Gorge.
