Tui's Retreat ~ 3 Bedroom North End Bach

Fully relax and have a fabulous holiday at Tui's Retreat, a comfortable bach with modern conveniences which is only a few minutes short stroll to the north end of Waihi Beach. Fully fenced, pet friendly, and a short hop to the beach or up the beautiful Trig Bush Walk in the opposite direction. Beautiful Waihi Beach, with 9 km's of pristine sand and surf is at the end of the street, plus dairy for ice creams, cafe for coffee and fish n chip shop close by.

Tui's Retreat has:
* full air conditioning throughout bach for summer comfort
* full heat pump heating throughout bach for winter warmth
* newly renovated kitchen with new oven (gas hobs, electric oven) & range hood for whipping up delicious food and a full dishwasher for taking care of dishes afterwards
* gas hot water meaning instant hot water with high pressure for nice hot showers or take a relaxing bath
* Outdoor hot/cold shower for getting rid of sand after a day in the surf
* Breville Nespresso coffee machine for use
* Webber Family Q BBQ for use
* New curtains which block out light allowing you to have a good sleep in
* A selection of kids toys and books which are there and free to use for the duration of the stay.

Only 3 minutes walk (350m) from beautiful Waihi Beach and super close to the Waihi Beach Surf Club for flagged and patrolled swimming areas. Big deck with bbq and large table (seats 10) to sit and watch the tuis dive from the huge Pohutukawa trees at the front of the bach. Comfy outdoor sofa and chairs for reading on under the large cantilever umbrella. Outdoor foot & dog shower for washing off after beach time.

Also handy to the Main Street with cafes and shops, and a 4 Square supermarket. There is a spectacular walk to Orokawa Bay on a DOC track which goes from the absolute north end of Waihi Beach (5 mins walk from the Bach) and gives you stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and thru the coastal forest ending up in beautiful Orokawa Bay. It is about 45 mins walk (mid to steep in parts) one way.

Tui's Retreat easily accommodates 2 families if the kids are happy to all sleep in the bunk room. With 3 spacious bedrooms, two of which are double bedrooms with Queen Beds, plus one extra large bedroom with 2 sets of King Single bunks (sleeping 4 in that room), there is plenty of room. A seperate toilet makes life a bit easier, and the bathroom has a shower over bath.

Kitchen is equiped with microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and gas-top electric oven with range hood. Fully air-conditioned and heated for comfort in both summer and winter.

Special conditions:

• No parties and no additional guests staying beyond those booked
• No smoking inside or within the property grounds
• No open fires
• Pet friendly, but please do advise in booking request. Pet owners, can you please pick up any dog mess off the lawn or we will have to charge an additional cleaning fee ~ thank you!
• Please leave behind all our books and kids toys, as these belong to our two kids who generously are fine with sharing them with other children who stay. There would be tears if anything was taken so please respect their kindness and leave all toys and books at the bach when leaving.

There is a large Smart TV on the wall in the living area, & there are plenty of books and boardgames which you are welcome to use.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels). You will need to bring the following linen:

Tuis Retreat
A lovely well positioned private bach at the northern end of Waihi beach just a 5 min stroll to the beach. More than adequate size for large family with 2 double bedrooms and children’s bunk room, Excellent amenities and especially enjoyed the outdoor shower. Had a lovely time with the family and my parents which was made even more memorable being able to take our furry friend too. Great instructions from the owner. Highly recommend.

Lovely kiwi Bach in great location
This cute cottage has a casual and comfortable vibe, with all the basics you need for a stay at the beach and some nice luxuries too…(great coffee!) My uni age kids, partner and I loved staying for the New Year period- perfect for them to come and go. Best of all was the ability to have our dog stay. It’s the perfect location for dog owners- being close to cool bush walks, and the beach.

Great location
We stayed for a weekend and booked as we could take our dog with us. Great location and fully fenced. Close to beach for early morning sunrise walks. The outdoor shower was very nice. Our son loved the bunk beds. The aircon system kept us toasty warm on the chilly nights. Owner Ange was great with communication during our stay. Overall an awesome place to stay.

Amazing host, super dog friendly and beaut home!
We had the BEST stay and Ange was a fantastic host. Unfortunately for us, we booked to go during the storm/floods.. but Ange helped us get from A to B safely, going above and beyond! Even though the weather wasn’t great, the house is so cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!! We watched movies, played board games and went for a walk up the trig when the weather was slightly better! Our doggo Bobby loved this house. Super dog friendly, fully fenced..he came with us up the trig and to the cafe down the road. Outstanding host and loved the in-depth information pack! Fingers crossed for sun next time we go! Must book if you want a weekend away in Waihi Beach :)

Beautiful, well equipped bach.
What a lovely house, and so inviting on arrival, with teddy bears on the kids beds which added a really nice touch for our kids. The fuss ball table was a huge hit and we barely saw the 4 yr old girl who was playing with all the toys in the cupboards. It's a short stroll to the beach and has a great garden for kicking a ball around. We would definitely come back to stay another time. Thanks so much.
