The property

Blending the charm of a classic Kiwi bach with a striking contemporary extension, The White Haus offers a spacious and memorable seaside escape in the heart of Waihi Beach. Positioned on the top floor and sleeping up to eight guests across three bedrooms, this one-of-a-kind holiday home sits right beside the beachfront reserve, putting golden sands and sparkling waters just moments from your door. Spend your days relaxing on the beach, swimming in the surf, or exploring all that Waihi Beach has to offer. When it's time to unwind, fire up the BBQ and soak in the stunning bay views from the expansive sundeck. With two outdoor dining areas to choose from, you'll always find the perfect sheltered spot to enjoy long summer lunches or relaxed evening meals with family and friends. Inside, the light-filled living areas provide plenty of room for the whole group to spread out and relax. The modern, well-equipped kitchen makes holiday cooking a breeze, whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the beach or a feast after a day in the sun. After sandy adventures, rinse off under the outdoor shower before settling in for the evening. For coffee lovers, the popular Flatwhite Waihi Beach Café is directly across the road, making your morning flat white and fresh bakery treats conveniently close. For a truly unique beachfront getaway where location, comfort, and character combine, The White Haus awaits.

As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

There is a self-contained unit underneath this property that is currently tenanted.

Please note: A sofa bed is available at the property; however, there is no additional bedding provided for guests using the sofa bed. Guests planning to use this sleeping arrangement should bring any extra bedding or blankets they may require for their stay.

About the location

Tucked away about ten minutes from the township of Waihi, this nine kilometre stretch of glorious beach is home to a bustling seaside community. A hugely family friendly area, it's an ever-popular destination for the Summer holidays to kick back, relax and soak up the surf on one of New Zealand's favourite beaches. Ideally situated for exploring out to Tauranga and the Mount. All of our Waihi Beach holiday homes are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.

“Good times Great location Excellent chill zone Love the bbq!”

“This house is lovely.”

Clean, tidy and well equipped. Such a great spot too - so close to the beach and great coffee right next door. I would highly recommend it for a family stay - enough space for 2 families. Separate space for the kids to hang out.

“Location and comfort cannot be better.”

Plenty of space for our multi- generation stay. Especially loved the outdoor spaces. We did miss wifi, and found the linen charges on top of the stay costs a bit much. Would love to return.

“The location was just perfect in every way.”

Well appointed with everything you could want at your finger tips.

“A good heatpump and double glazing kept our family warm during our stay in July.”

The kitchen is fantastic with everything you can think of including all appliances even a temperature controlled drinks fridge. The sea views compliment the location and is of coarse the best you could ever hope for, the price is alot less than you would expect. Take a couple quilts for the bedrooms in the older drop down section during the winter period. We would recommend to friends and stay again.

“Loved that this property was right on the beach and right across from the cafe for our daily coffee fix.”

It was also only a shortish walk to the main shops. Despite the slightly busy location it was quiet in the new upstairs part of the house (guessing it was double-glazed?) which was lovely and comfortable. The upstairs bed was comfy - another bonus because lots of beds in other places we’ve stayed have been too hard. The downside was no wifi for relaxing in the evenings and the downstairs shower decided to go on the fritz during our stay. Not really a problem with only 4 of us staying there, but would have been awkward if it had been a full house and we had had to all pile into the other onsuite-style bathroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and came home very relaxed.

“It was a great location but was marked incorrectly on google maps.”

we also had 2 kids and thought there was a bunkbed which would have been great as per photos, except there wasn't one, just 3 x doubles so one had to sleep on the sofa couch which was extremely uncomfortable, he ended up sleeping on a couch instead. Also there was no extra duvet for it, so a few trips from the property manger solved it but a bit frustrating at the start. I would like to note that the property manager didn't have access to a duvet so actually load one of her own personal ones which was awesome of her and in the end had a good trip, would love to go back but only if sorted bedding out.

- Darren, July 2026

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the location overall and that you had a good trip. I do, however, appreciate the frustrations you encountered during your stay. In relation to the property's location, the map pin is technically correct as it aligns with the mailbox side of the property. That said, I can certainly understand the confusion given the home's primary access and layout appear to relate more closely to the adjacent road. I would also like to apologise for the bunk bed issue. Unfortunately, a listing glitch resulted in the bunk beds being removed from all but one version of the property's advertising, which meant the sleeping configuration shown was not accurately represented across all platforms. We appreciate how disappointing this would have been, particularly when travelling with children and relying on those arrangements. We will ensure the listing information is reviewed and updated so that it accurately reflects the property's bedding configuration going forward. I'm glad to hear the property manager was able to assist at short notice, and it was very kind of them to provide one of their own duvets to help resolve the situation. While I'm pleased a solution was found, I appreciate this added inconvenience at the beginning of your stay. Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We genuinely value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much smoother experience. Kind regards, Kenneth Reputations & Resolutions Team Bachcare

“This property consists of an original bach, plus a newer addition.”

The newer edition is nice. The older/original part is very tired but that is reflected in the photos. However, the cleaning in the original bach could have been better. There was mould on the bathroom curtains. There was no way to cool the original part of the bach - no fans were provided, no air conditioning. The windows had no security stays on them, so we couldn't leave the windows open at night to try and keep it cooler so our children could sleep. We stayed there for 2 nights and no-one got much sleep. The newer bathroom upstairs has two windows facing the neighbours driveway, and only one (of the windows) had a curtain. if you happen to be using the toilet when the neighbours come home, they can see you. Same goes if you are getting dressed after a shower. The description of this property mentions that another dwelling is being built "across the road", and when its finished it will be directly in front of the existing bach. This statement is contradictory in itself, because there isn't actually a road between the two buildings. And secondly, how can a building start "across the road" and then be right next to the dwelling when its finished? Unless you are building a house over the top of road? Didn't know that was legal. Our group does have to take some responsibility, as we clearly did not read the property description properly. We focussed more on the photos - lesson learned. However, what the description (and the photos) do not convey is that most of the view from the balcony of the newer edition (as shown in the now incorrect and outdated photos) has been blocked by a new house built immediately in front of the bach - there is probably only a gap of 100mm between the two buildings. The lovely view from the deck is really only a partial view, and the impending building directly in front of the balcony does not invite you to sit out on the deck. In fact, its quite imposing and blocks out more than half of the view, and probably about the same amount of light. Overall, I would not recommend this property. If Bachcare and/or the owners had put updated photos online, so that it was very clear what you are getting when you rent this property, I could have forgiven most other things I've mentioned. However, dishonesty is not ok in my book, and our whole group (consisting of 4 adults & 4 children) felt cheated, as the deck and the stunning (but now mostly non-existent) view was the main reason we booked the property in the first place. Shame on you Bachcare and the owners for not having the honesty and integrity to update the photos and make sure that renters know exactly what they are getting. A big thumbs down from our group.
