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!!!

This Bach never disappoints! Best location in Whiritoa. We absolutely love staying here everything you need and more right there - kayaks are a lovely addition to enjoy an easy paddle up the estuary. Views are spectacular and somehow even though this is a perfect beach location we feel secluded and private. Will be booking again soon.

I think the situation of this bach is one of the best in Whiritoa, fantastic for my grandchildren they learnt to kayak right in front of the bach. The bach had absolutely everything we needed, so comfortable and sitting on the deck looking out at the sea was wonderful.

Suitable for the whole family

The location really couldn't be any more perfect, so much to do and everything is right there on your doorstep. Lots of things to keep you entertained if the weather isn't so ideal. We had no idea what to expect as our first holiday travelling with an infant, but the place had everything we needed and some things we didnt even realise we needed! The host was communicative and available for enquiries. We're already talking about booking this property as an annual thing.

On the river and the beach!

Perfect for our final 4 nights in New Zealand. So nice to have provided kayaks and boogie boards. The beach is sandy and the waves were fun. It's conveniently close to other fun things in the area like donut island, the gold country gorge, and the hidden cove at the headland on the other end of the beach. Could see sunrises from the porch!

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.

Couldn’t have asked for more

2 of us returned to Whiritoa after many years away for a short relaxing stay and cannot fault this amazing home. It gave us everything we were looking for. The view and location are second to none and it’s brilliantly classic kiwi Bach styling inside made us feel so relaxed and at home. Cosy warm on cold winter nights and the master bedroom window seat was our go too during the day for a relaxing read and to sit and watch the locals and their dogs wander the estuary. So many great memories for us in this amazing settlement and this home was such a wonderful base for us to be for a couple of days. We will be back!
