About this property

Character beach bach

Welcome to our wonderful kiwi Bach, where childhood holidays are relived.

The Bach features 4 bedrooms and can easily sleep 10 people in beds. Two bedrooms with double beds, two bedrooms with three single beds. Please bring your own linen.

Open plan living and dining, both indoors and out.

Features 2 toilets, 1 new bathroom, outdoor shower, full laundry including drier and a kitchen with two fridges, a microwave, and an oven.

The large back deck has ample bbq, dining and living space and is drenched in afternoon and evening sun, it becomes a communal gathering point daily. We have a large shade sail covering the back deck to ensure shade. We have a large back yard great for summer cricket or sunbathing.

The section is fully fenced, making it a great option for young families, no pets please.

Just a 3 minute walk to the shops (inluding a 4Square, a bottle shop, butcher, fish and chips and plenty of licensed cafes and restaurants, surf shop, chemist, dress shops and a gift shop) and a 4 minute walk to the beach, our bach is perfectly located to be convenient to everything Waihi Beach offers.

The swimming beach is safe for families, there are lifeguards down the northern end of the beach and there are many walks to do both immediately in Waihi Beach and in the surrounding area.

We've made many wonderful family memories here and we hope you enjoy your stay.
Special conditions:
Rubbish day is Monday and official rubbish bags are available from the 4Square. If you leave the bach on any other day of the week please take all rubbish with you. Rubbish must not be left on the street on a Sunday. Please consider our neighbors. Please turn off the main switch inside the bach before you leave. Thank you, enjoy your stay.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$50.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Wonderful holiday home

Absolutely loved the layout of the house and indoor-outdoor flow. Superb breeze flew through the doors and windows. Large windows in dining and kitchen allowed for easy communication to people enjoying the seating area on the deck. Very large lounge area for family chill out time in the evening. Bedroom positioning allows for peaceful rest day or night. Many lovely memories and definitely would like to return to make more in the future.
