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. Plenty of games and jigsaws for wet days. Loads of books and some children's toys.
Room for tents.
(Neighbours on Bookabach too for larger groups)
Golden Piwa Award for Family Friendly
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 bech, boating, shops and cafes.
- Only 15 minutes from Waihi, for gold history and steam train, and Whangamata for the boat ramp, 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.
- 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!!!

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.

Absolutely stunning
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!

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 perfect place to begin our holiday
What a beautiful spot! We loved every minute here - the weather was perfect, we had the beach to ourselves and the spot was perfect with an amazing view! It was the perfect place to start our New Zealand holiday at such a relaxing spot! The kids loved kayaking down the lagoon, walking to the blow hole and across to waimama beach! And the window seat was perfect! Thankyou

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!

This is a fantastic bach, has everything you need and great communal spaces. The view alone is worth coming for. We loved the area and the fact there weren't really any amenities - perfect way to recharge the batteries and feel properly holidayed. Thank you very much for having us.
