The Bach was very close to Waihi Beach, accessible by a short foot-path. It was also easy to get into town for the market and café. Extra bonus: there is an organic farm-stand offering produce next door. The house had all of the amenities we needed for 3 families. Pene was gracious host and got back to us quickly with any questions. We would rent this again if we were able to come back for another beach holiday.
