Fantastic location, only a 5 minute walk into the town but zero traffic up and down the street. House and garden superb, as well as the bedroom. The shower pressure is something I will dream about for a very long time. To top it all off, Sandra is a lovely woman with amazing knowledge about a lot of the region. Will be coming here on our next trip to Waihi :)

    Great central location with easy access to Waihi itself, and area's such as Whiritoa, Whanagamata, Paeroa within easy driving distance. Great Steak at The Sterling pub. When coming into Waihi from Paeroa on a nice day, suggest stopping somewhere along the Karangahake gorge for a walk. Beautiful on a sunny day.

    You can't go wrong in Waihi with fish and chips at Kelly's ,Ti Tree cafe for coffee and brunch and a stay at Araluen House with host Julie. The rim walk at Martha mine has attractive planting and is worth doing.

    We visited Martha's Mine and the Ole Pump House.

    We visited Martha's Mine and the Ole Pump House. This is quite cook esp the "Poppy Fence". Apparently, the walk right round the mine is 5kms so have an extra hour for that. Supermarkets were easy to find, likewise the take-aways shops. Lovely small town place.

    Loved the family friendly Goldfields train trip to Waikino and back plus easy walking to Victoria Battery such history. Pleasant railway tea and coffee restaurant great food. The Marthas mine was breathtaking nothing short of amazing. Waihi has great takeaway food places cheap eating and finish off at Athenree Hot spring pools. Waihi Beach is great for a picnic even in the winter fish and chips or a coffee on the beach awesome. My weekend with family with children was amazing at Waihi go there 😊😊

    For me and my interest in family history & genealogy, mining and social history, Waihi is a great place to visit. Great German Bakery and had an excellent meal from Tandori Chambers. Had a wonderful trip on the train from Waihi to Waikino. People everywhere were so helpful and I will return again soon with my wife. I really enjoyed the Memorial to the WW1 tunnelers and the bronze sculptures in the town.

    The tent itself is very lovely. Cute, with a basic outdoor kitchenette area (we didn't do anything except boil water for tea). Comfortable queen-sized bed with plenty of blankets if it's cool overnight. Composting toilet was clean and didn't smell at all. Enough solar power to charge a phone overnight. Easy 5-minute drive to the main street in Waihi town (narrow gravel road, but well-maintained) if you need groceries, takeaway meals, or coffee.

    Great little place, quiet and set back from the road and surrounded by a lovely garden. It has just about everything you could need, we stayed 2 nights but it would definitely serve for longer stays as well. Good furnishings, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed, great shower. Easy check-in to get the keys, host sent clear instructions well in advance. We come to Waihi a few times a year and I would happily book this again.

    Friendly helpful couple running a standard old school motel, located just off main road in to / out of Waihi. Room was clean, the bed was comfortable and electric blanket appreciated by my wife . Loads of Sky TV channels. Spa pool also relaxing and enjoyable after our day riding on the Hauraki Rail Trail. Secure storage for our bikes also most appreciated as I had forgotten to bring a lock.

    Perfect roadside stopover. This is a return visit because we were very impressed on first stopover a few days ago. Large very well fitted out. Kitchen had full stove. Shower was hot and powerful. While this is an older design motel it has been reovated with taste. Scrupulously clean.Linens and towels high grade quality. Price was hard to beat

    This lovely old cottage was perfect for our brief stay in Waihi, great location and very comfortable. We were grateful for the heatpump as we timed our stay with the cold snap going around the country.

    This was a very budget hotel with few facilities. It accomodated WINZ clients due to Covid as well. Our room was adequate for the night. The shower was in sad need of revamping.
