5/5 - Excellent
Great beach for walking and swimming. Easy parking and not to many people. Great cafes in the area. Fully recommend the Flat White Cafe, great coffee, food and service.






Bowentown is noteworthy for its beaches, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Waihi Beach and Anzac Bay.

Though Athenree may not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Athenree Hot Springs and Waihi Beach.

Visitors to Island View enjoy its beaches, and if you want to do some exploring, Waihi Beach is worth a stop.

Great room and fantastic place to stay. I do wish they had a better fan for the room as it was very hot in the room with the sun setting directly in there even with the windows open.

The Beach Bach is a great house for a relaxing holiday. It was clean with all the household items we needed. Especially good is the well fenced yard so we could relax while our 2 little dogs played safely outside. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful.

We liked the quaint Chez Moi Swiss Chocolate Shop in town, nice gourmet chocolates for a good price. Flatwhite cafe by the beach, good food, great views.
