Fabulous hidden gem in Paeroa! If you enjoy antique shopping, setting a fire on a cold winter's night and gorgeous historic bush walks through NZ's gold mining region and the beautiful Karangahake gorge, then this is the place to stay. About 20 minutes drive to Waihi for restaurants and cafes and another 10mins on to Waihi beach itself, Paeroa is a perfect base for this area. Vivian is an excellent, warm host and check in was super easy.
