Company information

Hi, I'm Jasmine, dedicated local property manager here in Waihi Beach. At Beach Super Host we are proud to host both our own properties and others on behalf of owners. We have years of experience in both hosting and travelling, in fact, from 2017 until 2019 we sailed around the world (check out our adventures on our YouTube channel Sailing Nikau).

Property information

The Barn was completed in December 2020 and was designed by local artist and interior designer Ange Lee Mackay as a bespoke romantic hideaway. The results are stunning and will delight guests. Enter via a Balinese bamboo fence into a secret courtyard garden featuring tropical planting, a Weber BBQ, copper outdoor rainhead shower, bar leaner outdoor dining table and low loungers for relaxing with that well deserved summer drink. Flowing from the courtyard into the lounge area with oversized leather couch and smart TV with unlimited WiFi and many preloaded apps such as Netflix, perfect for snuggling up to watch your favorite show. Open plan living area includes a full designer kitchen that also has a washer/dryer, air conditioning, dining table for two and all the appliances and kitchenware you will need whether you just want to make a coffee or cook a gourmet meal. The kitchen leads upstairs to a romantic mezzanine bedroom with king size slat bed that has a luxury Ecosa mattress and organic cotton linens. Relaxing in bed you can view another smart TV, we also provide Turkish cotton beach towels and linen robes, en-suite bathroom has sunken bath, walk in shower and light features.

Neighbourhood information

Our place is just a short walk across the adjoining reserve to either the beautiful white sand and waves of Waihi Beach or the sheltered Anzac Bay (no waves, boat ramp, excellent fishing). Anzac Bay has a resident coffee cart that also does real fruit ice cream and smoothies all summer long. There's also a small store just across the reserve at the camp-ground for any essentials. The adjoining reserve also has a cricket ground and newly updated mountain bike pump track. There's also a basketball court and coin operated tennis court within the subdivision of Pio Shores. From the nearby Bowentown reserve (next to boat club) there’s a walking/bike track from Bowentown up the estuary that ends near the award winning Surf Shack Café, a lovely excursion for breakfast or lunch. The nearby Waihi Beach village has a host of great boutique shops and cafes to complete your holiday experience. We also recommend the walk from the north end of the beach over to Orakawa Bay (approx 45 mins one way) and exploring nearby Waihi town and the walking and biking tracks in beautiful Karangahape Gorge.
