    Great central location with easy access to Waihi itself, and area's such as Whiritoa, Whanagamata, Paeroa within easy driving distance. Great Steak at The Sterling pub. When coming into Waihi from Paeroa on a nice day, suggest stopping somewhere along the Karangahake gorge for a walk. Beautiful on a sunny day.

    You can't go wrong in Waihi with fish and chips at Kelly's ,Ti Tree cafe for coffee and brunch and a stay at Araluen House with host Julie. The rim walk at Martha mine has attractive planting and is worth doing.

    We visited Martha's Mine and the Ole Pump House.

    We visited Martha's Mine and the Ole Pump House. This is quite cook esp the "Poppy Fence". Apparently, the walk right round the mine is 5kms so have an extra hour for that. Supermarkets were easy to find, likewise the take-aways shops. Lovely small town place.

    Loved the family friendly Goldfields train trip to Waikino and back plus easy walking to Victoria Battery such history. Pleasant railway tea and coffee restaurant great food. The Marthas mine was breathtaking nothing short of amazing. Waihi has great takeaway food places cheap eating and finish off at Athenree Hot spring pools. Waihi Beach is great for a picnic even in the winter fish and chips or a coffee on the beach awesome. My weekend with family with children was amazing at Waihi go there 😊😊

    For me and my interest in family history & genealogy, mining and social history, Waihi is a great place to visit. Great German Bakery and had an excellent meal from Tandori Chambers. Had a wonderful trip on the train from Waihi to Waikino. People everywhere were so helpful and I will return again soon with my wife. I really enjoyed the Memorial to the WW1 tunnelers and the bronze sculptures in the town.

    The tent itself is very lovely. Cute, with a basic outdoor kitchenette area (we didn't do anything except boil water for tea). Comfortable queen-sized bed with plenty of blankets if it's cool overnight. Composting toilet was clean and didn't smell at all. Enough solar power to charge a phone overnight. Easy 5-minute drive to the main street in Waihi town (narrow gravel road, but well-maintained) if you need groceries, takeaway meals, or coffee.

    Well located near the high street of Waihi. Rooms were very clean and had everything needed for a short stay - fridge, AC, toiletries etc. Easy on site parking and SKY TV (including Sports) standard with the room. Keeping in mind this motel is located on state highway there can be some road noise, however with the AC on it was hardly noticeable. We had a very comfy stay.

    Perfect roadside stopover. This is a return visit because we were very impressed on first stopover a few days ago. Large very well fitted out. Kitchen had full stove. Shower was hot and powerful. While this is an older design motel it has been reovated with taste. Scrupulously clean.Linens and towels high grade quality. Price was hard to beat

    To be fair this is a budget hotel, it is clean and the service is acceptable, we were given a tour and advised locations of exit and entrances, access after hours and the location of bathrooms and cooking facilities. The bed was clean and there is satellite tv. Has a backpackers kind of ambiance. I would stay here again.

    We loved the time spent with the alpaca’s 🦙 and the goats. The cabins were awesome, everything you could need for a couple of nights. The sunsets are amazing !!! and the bird life is amazing also !!! Such a beautiful, peaceful place and it’s only a short drive into Waihi. Would definitely recommend to all 😊

    Was in a great position for the Rail Trail and being dog friendly was a bonus. Lovely little old cottage in quiet area of Waihi. The town itself was great to explore and owner (Chris) very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.

    This lovely old cottage was perfect for our brief stay in Waihi, great location and very comfortable. We were grateful for the heatpump as we timed our stay with the cold snap going around the country.
