Absolute beach-front holiday home
This holiday home is situated in a simply stunning location! Watch the waves roll in, and enjoy the spectacular views up and down the beach and over to Mayor Island. Direct and very easy access to the beach from the front lawn means no excuse not to take that early morning swim or invigorating walk along the sand. The open plan upstairs living flows out on to a generous deck area, perfect for sundowners while the kids play in the sizeable rumpus room, or eat at the picnic table on the lawn below (where you can keep an eye on them from the deck). It is an easy 10-minute walk to the village so no need to drive if you want to dine at one of the many delightful Waihi Beach cafes.
The house is on two levels. Upstairs has open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge flowing out onto the large deck. One double bedroom, one single, a bathroom and separate toilet are also on this level. Downstairs are a further two double bedrooms, rumpus room (with additional TV) and a bathroom and separate toilet. There is also an outdoor toilet and shower (which you access via the external door from the rumpus room to the outside area), perfect when coming off the beach! There is access to both the entry driveway and the front lawn/beach from this level.
The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday. The kitchen includes a microwave, dishwasher and all the usual things you would expect. There is an assortment of books and games for rainy days. Linen is supplied so no need to drag that along from home. Just bring your swimmers and you will be set.
This is a lovely, comfortable house which is as close to the water as you can get. After all, what is the point of having a beach holiday if you aren't actually ON the beach?
