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!!!

Amazing location right on the lagoon. A paradise for children with safe shallow swimming in view of the house. The house is so well set up for families and generously stocked with games, books and sports gear. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back! Host is super friendly and helpful too.
Great place for our young family. Brilliant location with everything basically on the back door step. Margaret was a pleasure to deal with, even offering us a late check out.
Incredible location, classic kiwi batch and great communication from the hosts. Best weekend away playing in the sun and surf, can’t recommend more. We will be back!
Margaret was very helpful, lots of contact and useful information. The property was as described and had everything needed for a family fun getaway. The location and views was the clincher for us, the photos don't do it justice. It was breathtaking and simply perfect. We are all keen to come again.
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.
Lovely beach bach property. Great communication with owner, no issues once we were in. Lovely river and beach, we had a very relaxing time. Would definitely stay again.
The property was amazing. Location beachfront and so scenic, big front yard for activities. Bbq was a great addition. We are very pleased with our stay and hopefully will be back soon.
Always a lovely stay in this beautiful spot. Added bonus of fresh baked bread available close by. Great friendly community and awesome house to stay at. Perfect for kids.
Another epic relaxing break enjoying the lagoon, fishing and star gazing. Three brilliant days with family, in a great property. All the necessary toys onsite, like kayaks and water equipment. Highly recommend, thank you!
Even better than the pictures. Absolutely stunning and the most relaxing place we’ve ever stayed. Everything you could want at the bach for an enjoyable time. Loved the kayaks and all the books. Weather was perfect. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for sharing this very special 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!
We love this bach so much this is our second time booking it. The view, the sea air, the stars. The step back in time to the classic kiwi bach. Love everything about this perfect piece of paradice.
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!
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.
Thank you Margaret,
Our stay at your bach was perfect.
The location couldnt be bettter and the bach itself is full of character and very comfortable.
We shall certainly be back, hopefully very soon!
Had a perfect stay just as imagined. Perfect location to the lagoon, which was awesome for my young girls 4&2.
Such a nice nostalgia to the bach with everything you may need.
Recommended.
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.
