Simply the best! Beach front, uninterrupted great views from all rooms

Walk onto beach beside a safe lagoon. This bach is perfect for families with small children to early teens.
Watch the waves, also river and reserve views. Bush walks, surfing, body surfing (boards available), kayaking (4 kayaks and life jackets supplied). Perfect for holidays, celebrations or just relaxing.
Laundry facilities and modern kitchen. Gas barbecue.
Tag off technology with no TV or internet! Plenty of games and jigsaws for wet days. Loads of books and some children's toys.
Room for tents.
Family Friendly Golden Piwa Award.
We have a great water supply with an ultra-violet water filter system ensuring NZ water standard quality.
Nearby in village- Surf life saving operating during the Summer. Little nippers club during Summer school holidays. Bar open from 5.30 and big screen for 'the game'!

Things to do-
- Visit the blow hole at the south end of the beach on a rough day- awesome!!!
-Walk through the native bush to Waimama reserve opposite- lovely to walk through the bush and pohutukawas to the next beach where there are rock pools and fishing. Nice swimming too in the more sheltered Waimama Bay. Keep walking over the hills to the 'secret special beach' and the cave, waterfall and ship wreck. Magic!
-Only 15 minutes from Whangamata- surf beach, boating, shops,cafes and boat ramp,
- Only 15 minutes from Waihi, for gold history and steam train, and golf, supermarket, and cafes
- Stroll to the local shop that does a good coffee too and has nearly everything you might need, including fish and chips at the weekend and holidays. Open daily
- Heaps of walks around the area. Stop in the Karangahake Gorge between Paeroa and Waihi. Explore the Coromandel Forest Park and Wentworth Valley waterfalls if you are more adventurous, but you probably won't go anywhere!!

One week is never long enough!!!

The best location!
We loved our stay at this gorgeous bach. With the beach right on the doorstep, you get the sound of the waves crashing lulling you to sleep. We enjoyed early morning strolls along the beach, day time family walk over the hill to the bay around the corner and amazing blow hole down the opposite end of the beach. And star speckled sky at night. You're just so close to nature you just want to explore the whole time. In saying that, staying indoors is also lovely. Beautiful views, dining area great for board games (lots of great ones there), master bedroom a haven of relaxation.

We had planned to use this as a base of operations to travel to various tourist destinations nearby. We ended up staying in Whiritoa nearly two days exploring the wonderful beaches and woodland trails.

This bach is just stunning. It has the best location that we have probably ever stayed at. The estuary is so nice & safe for the kids but the ocean is right there too, for the best sunrises & sunsets ever :-) We can’t wait to come back!

Love this place!
We've been coming here for years but I'm still always impressed by the view- love sitting on the deck looking out to the sea. It is so nice to switch off, listen to the waves and enjoy time with the family here, thanks Margaret for sharing your wonderful bach with us!
