About this property
Shorebreak Beach Retreat With Spa
Just across the road for a plunge in the surf and then back for a soak in the spa. Shorebreak Spa Retreat is located at stunning Bowentown, which is the Southern most point of Waihi Beach. The location is tranquil and the suite is very comfortable and private. It is close to both ocean and harbour beaches. The therapeutic spa is always fresh and clean for guests to relax in.
The ocean beach access and beach front reserve walkway is just across the road, and it is only a short walk to Anzac Bay harbour beach, a popular lookout, and secluded Cave Bay and Shelly Beach. Bowentown is a great location for all water sports activities, swimming, kayaking, fishing, skiing, and when the swell is right, even surfing. It is only a short drive to restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. Waihi beach is a gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula, and also the fascinating rivers, walkways, and cycle ways of the Karangahake Gorge.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);
