Great location, across the street to beach access. Nice central location .
Nice tidy homely Bach stay. Suited our family group of surfers and fishers perfectly. Great off street parking easy turning at rear of the section and easy walking to central shopping and cross street to the beach.

Awesome place in an amazing location at Waihī Beach
Our stay at Matt's bach was fantastic. The bach itself was exactly what we expected, and a fantastic space for a couple of families with young kids to stay. The location couldn't be better, just a block back from the beach and a short stroll into the village. Matt also really looked after us, giving us early check-in and a very late check-out at no extra cost. Can't rate the place highly enough, and are looking forward to staying again!

Loved it
This bach is right up our alley, traditional and basic, but clean and swallowed us all up easily. Great to have a second TV/lounge for the kids. Lovely big section. Location can't be beaten, especially at this price.

Vacation
The Bach is a good location. But we didn't find it very clean, and there was a musty smell in the house and cupboards where crockery was kept. Bathroom certainly needs an update. The inside of cooker had not been touched.

Long weekend stay
The communication with the Bach owner/manager was good and instructions clear. The Bach itself needs a good deep clean. The curtains, bedding, carpets, couch and rugs felt damp. We aired the place as much as we could, but the damp smell remained. Lots of games available and good space in the backyard. Across the road from the beach and close to shops, so a fun time overall.

Great spot in a classic old kiwi batch!
Great location and proximity to shops and the beach. The house is situated on a large property with a huge backyard. Great for kids and able to split two different families with one upstairs and the other downstairs. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
I live in the Bay and grew up not far from our bach and spent a lot of time as I was growing up staying at the bach playing on the beach and in the water, fishing, boating and diving. This is my favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

My Grandfather built this house and it has been in the family for generations. We have upgraded it over the years but it still has the original character and is a place all our family love staying at and having fun at the beach.

What makes this property unique

Large flat section with pohutukawas at the back. Just across the road from the beach.
