About this property
Big house for large families, responsible groups and your special celebration.
The house is roomy with places to be alone if you are in a group. There are 4 cosy cabins which share an outdoor shower, toilet and basic kitchen. They do not have there own ensuite. There is a large lawn for playing with the kids and several seating options. A fire pit in the front and a lovely terraced garden at the back which provide lots of outdoor interest. Ample parking. Waikino school which can be viewed from the house has a neat little playground which resounds with the laughter of children. This area and surrounds has bush walks and mountain hikes up the slopes of Mt's Karangahake and nearby Mt Te Aroha. Relax in the hot pools in Te Aroha. Surf at Waihi beach and swim the cool waters at Dickey Flats. Immerse yourself in the historic past of this goldmining area. The goldfields historic railway is just minutes from the house. This vintage train makes a one-hour 6.5km trip from Waihi to Waikino and back. There are trains Mon-Fri at 10am, 11.45am and 1.45pm, and everyday during school holidays and throughout Jan and Feb. Historic Victoria Battery features ruins of the extraction of gold from "them there hills"
Play on the front lawn or just chill on the deck with a good book. Location is elevated looking north-east. You will need a car to get here and travel to the many attractions in the area. The cycle track passes Waikino minutes from the house. This track extends to Waihi, Paeroa, Te Aroha, and Thames.
