About this property

Recline on Leo | Dog-Friendly, 160m to Beach

  • Summary:

    Your next holiday getaway is here! Fresh sea air just 160m away, and your dog's welcome too. Located in the heart of Waihi Beach, just a short walk to the shops and the beach - ideal for one or two families to kick back and enjoy. Open-plan living connects to the large outdoor deck with BBQ, a great space to dine and soak up the summer sun.



    The Space:

    This spacious home offers plenty of room to spread out comfortably, both indoors and out.



    The property features:



    - 3 bedrooms (2 queen, 1 king)

    - Pull-out queen couch bed in the second lounge

    - 1 ensuite bathroom, plus 1 further bathroom

    - Self-contained kitchen with scullery, looking out to the large deck area

    - Washing machine

    - Large outdoor deck with BBQ

    - Free on-site parking

    - Air conditioning

    - TV

    - Wi-Fi

    - Dog friendly



    Whether it's a BBQ on the deck, a game of cricket on the lawn, or the whole crew spread across two living areas, Recline on Leo is set up for a proper, relaxed family getaway.



    Guest Access:

    Guests have private access to the entire home via a self-check-in code, sent ahead of arrival - no need to coordinate key handovers.



    The Neighborhood:

    Right in the heart of Waihi Beach, this home is just 160m from the sand and a short stroll from the village's shops, cafés, and takeaways - everything you need is within easy walking distance. The Waihi Beach Surf Lifesaving Club is also close by, handy for families keen on beach safety during summer. From here, it's an easy walk or short drive to explore the wider stretch of Waihi Beach's 10km coastline, including Orokawa Scenic Reserve for coastal views and a swim at Orokawa Bay, or Bowentown to the south for calmer harbour swimming and fishing.



    Historic Waihi township, home to the Martha Mine gold workings and the Waihi Gold Discovery Centre, is a short drive away, and Tauranga and Mount Maunganui are both within easy reach for a day trip - making this a great base for a relaxed beach week or a springboard to explore the wider Bay of Plenty.



    Getting Around:

    The beach is right at the end of Leo Street, so it's a genuinely quick walk down for a swim. There are also shops close to the Waihi Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, a shorter walk or drive than the main village. The main Waihi Beach village, with a wider range of shops, cafés, and takeaways, is about a 20-minute walk, or a short drive if you'd rather not make the trip on foot. Waihi township, home to the Martha Mine and Waihi Gold Discovery Centre, is about 9km away, roughly an 8–9 minute drive. Tauranga is around 40–45 minutes by car, and Mount Maunganui is similar, making both easy day-trip options. A car is recommended for exploring further afield or into the main village, though the beach and nearby shops are right on your doorstep.

Modern seaside haven

We enjoyed the location - a stone's throw from the beach - as well as the amenities and newness of the place. Very spacious and suitable for two families or couples. Communication with the host was great also.

Perfect Spot!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this unit, close to the beach, pet friendly for our pup, and close to stores. The rooms and bedding we’re comfortable and appropriate for my partner, friends and I for our time there! We enjoyed going out to enjoy the sunlight, and the bbq was perfect for dinner and breakfast! Thank you for letting us stay would definitely recommend! :)

Lovely easy property super close to beach

We loved our week at Recline on Leo. It's a very new home with great quality furnishings and fittings, a big smart TV and a 60 second walk to beach. It is next to a campground so at times that can be a bit noisy but never past 10pm. As another reviewer said if you have a small dog you will need to bring something to secure them as the gate has gaps. Overall an excellent stay in a very beautiful are.

Modern, comfortable, relaxing getaway

A wonderfully comfortable new build, with all the comforts of home. A very thoughtful build that makes this a great place for 2 families, as the large open space can be split in 2 and closed off for privacy, and to become a 4th bedroom. The large walk in cupboard in the master bedroom was great for a portacot. We were 2 families (a family with an infant, and a family with 2 teenagers). Well stocked kitchen with pots and pans of all sizes. Great family games for young and old. Very comfortable furniture. Only 2min walk from the beach. Also good communication from the host. We had an issue with the bedding which was sorted very quickly! The only thing to be aware of if you have a small dog, is that the fence has reasonably large gaps. So a very small dog could escape, if it were that way inclined. We didn’t have any problems however, and our dog enjoyed the holiday as much as the humans :)

Yes whole house had everything we needed, it’s the perfect spot when you have smaller kids as you can fence them in the section to stop them getting onto the driveway and road. Walk to the beach took 2 minutes. Lovely house great beds everything was perfect.

Lovely relaxing stay

The property is very new, warm, comfortable and clean. It has everything you need. It was so nice to be able to bring our 2 well behaved dogs. Only thing is our smaller dog possibly could have escaped through a gap where the wooden gate is on the deck. We brought a crate with us and set it up along the gate/deck so it wasnt a problem. I was able to create some yummy meals in the fully equipped kitchen. A lovely place to stay for a winter getaway.
