Waterfront Paradise - Hot Pools Nearby

ARating, 5 stars4 months ago

A beautiful place to stay, comfortable, Cheryl was a responsive host, leant us beach/ camp chairs for our visit. The photos don't do the house or surroundings justice, it's a wonderful place to stay. Great neighbourhood, the view of the bay changes all the time , with the tide and the weather, my favourite time of day was at the top of the tide when there was no wind and the bay was like a mirror. Lots to explore , beaches, waterfalls, swimming holes, thermal pools, mountains, gorges. We want to return in 2026, still so many places to explore.

Waihi Beach Box

KimRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The bach was great. Small and compact but had everything you need, and within walking distance to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. Had a great deck, though the weather wasn't the best so we didn't get to use it as much as we could have. It was very handy to have access to the garage to be able to lock our bikes up securely. Would highly recommend to others.

Family Beach House - Waihi Beach

GavinRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Had a great stay at Ella & Alex’s. They were super friendly and everything was easy. Great location - close walk to the beach. It is best to the main road into town so can be a bit noisy, but that being said we were never bothered by it. Highly recommend!

Beach Front Haven,

GlennRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Excellent beach bach that has been done up nicely but kept the beach bach feel. Up stairs is the lounge with great ocean views with deck/table/bbq and lounge is very comfy. Also upstairs is the Kitchen and master bedroom with King Size Bed and side toilet. Spiral staircase worked for us but might not work for other people. Down stairs was 2 large bedrooms with 2 x queen in one and 2 x queen and 1 x single in the other. New laundy/toilet and separate shower downstairs. Outside shower was great feature after being at the beach which is like over the road.! Gas hotwater and fish cleaning bench at the back which we did use. If you just want to get away , have the beach bach feel and just want to enjoy the beach/views an ideal place to stay. Walking distance to dairy/fish and chip shop and even not too far to the Surf Shack Eatery. No Wifi! Good Spark 4G coverage for mobiles and portable broadband which we took with us! Yes we still need to work on holiday! loved it!
