We welcome you with some delicious fresh home baking on your arrival to have with your cup of tea, al fresco on your large covered deck, while you look out to the mountains.

After a day at the beach, the rustic private hot water outdoor shower is fun to wash away your sand and sunscreen. The kids will love it, showering either under the warm sun or on a moonlit evening. Te Whare Moana is located only 650m to the vibrant Waihi Beach Village where you will find an array of cool eateries, bars and boutique shops, and from there, just a couple more minutes wander to the glorious sand and surf. If a cold beer and wine is part of the plan, the Waihi Beach Hotel is only 250m from your door. For fab food and coffee, it’s just 1km to Flat White (beach side) Café, or to the Waihi Beach R.S.A, for one of the best views in the land! Reenergise, relax, refresh and revive yourself in Waihi Beach with a good ol’ fashioned Kiwi holiday, eating fish and chips and ice creams under the abundant Pohutukawa trees, or check out the picturesque walking and cycle trails that this funky little coastal town has to offer. Waihi Beach is a glistening jewel in the crown that is the Bay of Plenty coastline. Being one of New Zealand’s safest, most popular and stunning surf beaches, Waihi Beach is also the proud winner of The 2022 Caltex Beach Of The Year. Owners live onsite at Te Whare Moana, and are right there if any assistance is required throughout your stay. Guest access Fully fenced area at rear of your house.
