Golden Piwa Award for Family Friendly
We have a great water supply with an ultra-violet water filter system ensuring NZ water standard quality.
Nearby in village- Surf life saving operating during the Summer. Little nippers club during Summer school holidays. Bar open from 5.30 and big screen for 'the game'!

Things to do-
- Visit the blow hole at the south end of the beach on a rough day- awesome!!!
-Walk through the native bush to Waimama reserve opposite- lovely to walk through the bush and pohutukawas to the next beach where there are rock pools and fishing. Nice swimming too in the more sheltered Waimama Bay. Keep walking over the hills to the 'secret special beach' and the cave, waterfall and ship wreck. Magic!
-Only 15 minutes from Whangamata- surf bech, boating, shops and cafes.
- Only 15 minutes from Waihi, for gold history and steam train, and Whangamata for the boat ramp, golf, supermarket, and cafes
- stroll to the local shop that does a good coffee too and has nearly everything you might need, including fish and chips at the weekend and holidays.
- Heaps of walks around the area. Stop in the Karangahake Gorge between Paeroa and Waihi. Explore the Coromandel Forest Park and Wentworth Valley waterfalls if you are more adventurous, but you probably won't go anywhere!!

One week is never long enough!!!

Whiritoa is amazing
We had planned to use this as a base of operations to travel to various tourist destinations nearby. We ended up staying in Whiritoa nearly two days exploring the wonderful beaches and woodland trails.

Absolutely stunning
This bach is just stunning. It has the best location that we have probably ever stayed at. The estuary is so nice & safe for the kids but the ocean is right there too, for the best sunrises & sunsets ever :-) We can’t wait to come back!

On the river and the beach!
Perfect for our final 4 nights in New Zealand. So nice to have provided kayaks and boogie boards. The beach is sandy and the waves were fun. It's conveniently close to other fun things in the area like donut island, the gold country gorge, and the hidden cove at the headland on the other end of the beach. Could see sunrises from the porch!

Quiet Whiritoa
Had a perfect stay just as imagined. Perfect location to the lagoon, which was awesome for my young girls 4&2. Such a nice nostalgia to the bach with everything you may need. Recommended.

Love this place!
We've been coming here for years but I'm still always impressed by the view- love sitting on the deck looking out to the sea. It is so nice to switch off, listen to the waves and enjoy time with the family here, thanks Margaret for sharing your wonderful bach with us!

About the host

Hosted by margls960

Host profile image
We are a kiwi family who love to share our little piece of paradise with other families when we are not using it. We just love the security of being right on the safe lagoon and being able to watch the children play from our deck. We try to make our place as child friendly as possible so everyone can have fun. We have family members all over the world now and they love to come back to this special place as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

Whiritoa is a hidden gem on the Coromandel and when we saw this property for sale in 1993 we couldn't belive our luck! We snapped it up and immediately enlarged and modernised it, but we wanted to keep the bachiness intact. We don't have TV or Wifi so we can unplug from technology and plug into relaxing with each other.

What makes this property unique

The views are fantastic from every room and with a lawn for tents we can accommodate all the family and their friends too! The layout of the house is open plan and has easy flow to the deck, lawn and beach. We have a garage full of things to do and cupboards full of puzzles games and toys. 4 kayaks and life jackets are available.

We were delighted to win a Bookabach Gold Award - Family friendly category
