Absolute beach-front holiday home

This holiday home is situated in a simply stunning location! Watch the waves roll in, and enjoy the spectacular views up and down the beach and over to Mayor Island. Direct and very easy access to the beach from the front lawn means no excuse not to take that early morning swim or invigorating walk along the sand. The open plan upstairs living flows out on to a generous deck area, perfect for sundowners while the kids play in the sizeable rumpus room, or eat at the picnic table on the lawn below (where you can keep an eye on them from the deck). It is an easy 10-minute walk to the village so no need to drive if you want to dine at one of the many delightful Waihi Beach cafes.

The house is on two levels. Upstairs has open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge flowing out onto the large deck. One double bedroom, one single, a bathroom and separate toilet are also on this level. Downstairs are a further two double bedrooms, rumpus room (with additional TV) and a bathroom and separate toilet. There is also an outdoor toilet and shower (which you access via the external door from the rumpus room to the outside area), perfect when coming off the beach! There is access to both the entry driveway and the front lawn/beach from this level. To accommodate extra people, the rumpus room downstairs has ample room to put up a queen size airbed.

The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher and all the usual things you would expect. There is an assortment of books and games for rainy days. Linen is supplied so no need to drag that along from home. Just bring your swimmers and you will be set.

This is a lovely, comfortable house which is as close to the water as you can get. After all, what is the point of having a beach holiday if you aren't actually ON the beach?

Special conditions:

Pets are considered, so feel free to ask.

If any damage occurs, Vrbo will be instructed to take the appropriate amount from you to fix the damage.

The absolute maximum number of guests is 12. There are beds for 10 people so if you are 12 please bring an airbed or some other arrangement. There is plenty of room in the rumpus/bunk room for a double airbed. Tents are not allowed. We do monitor the number of people and if you appear to be more than 12 you will receive a bad review on Vrbo, and will be charged an extra $500.

Quiet gatherings are fine but no loud parties please. We have neighbours around us who are permanent residents and we would appreciate your consideration of that.

Rates negotiable for longer term bookings during off peak season.

Please take your rubbish with you.

Amazing location and view - a bit old and quirky
The house is right on the beach and has an amazing view. The deck is a lovely gathering place for folks, and if you're a surfer, the water is 10 steps away. The layout is a bit quirky but worked well for us because the 2 downstairs bedrooms are across a room from each other, affording privacy. Communication with the owner was great - she was very responsive and flexible. Things to know: The house is old and is definitely a vacation home; nothing flash but everything works. My bed had sand in it, indicating the sheets hadn't been washed, but the sheets on the other two beds seemed to be clean. There's a charge for leaving your trash. It was a bit awkward asking my inlaws to take away our rubbish and recycling – definitely not typical for a VRBO.

Waihi beach Girls weekend
The location and house are fantastic. Photos from the deck and kitchen window didnt do it justice - could almost touch the sand. Could have stayed longer and definitely will return. The only negative is I think the airbed has a hole in it as it didnt stay up throughout the night. As we were using all the beds we noticed it. The house is well maintained in all other aspects so Im guessing the owners just arnt aware. Totally recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you

What a spot!
Absolute beachfront is correct. We had an amazing time away with our family and friends here. Loved being able to longline right outside the property and just being able to pop out for swim whenever we felt like it. Great location for walking to the shops etc as well. We would definitely book this again. Thanks Merryn.

Christmas escape
With family from UK with their children aged 10 and a 6 month baby we escaped Auckland to Sunshine house right on beach. Swims before breakfast and walks along the beach and into town was so easy. It was the perfect location and room for us all with time out zones. Great stay.

Windy, wonderful, Waihi
This is a good old Kiwi bach, no frills. Comfortable, clean and had everything we could need. Being able to take our dog made everyone extra happy. A few steps to the magnificent beach which was always wild and very windy. Easy walk to the great local shops. Great stay, thank you.
