About this property

Waikino - Karangahake Bach and Accommodation


Visit the stunning Karangahake Gorge! Our bach is located in Waikino only a few minutes walk across the swing bridge to the Hauraki Rail Trail, historic gold mining sites and miniature train. There are glow worms and bush walks on the property.

We are nestled above the iconic Waikino Hotel - Bar & Kitchen, so after your day exploring the area you can grab a drink, a meal and relax!

Waikino is located half way between Paeroa and Waihi, close enough to easily pop into town to explore the antique shops and art galleries or head down to the beach for some time in the sun.

The bach itself has four double rooms and a bunk room and there is an additional three double rooms and a bunk room in two separate buildings available for larger groups or individual hire. Please note in your booking query if you require the outside rooms or would like to book the whole property.

Please note: the bach is over 130 years old (it used to be a miner's boarding house), it has been renovated internally but it's still an old structure with the associated quirks and is very much a 'kiwi' family bach not a new building.

Special conditions:
Deck is not fenced so not suitable for unsupervised children.
If you haven't booked all the accommodation the Shearer's quarters and baby barn may be used by the owners.

Extras: Baby Barn hire (Optional, NZ$80.00 per night); Shearer's quarters hire per room (Optional, NZ$80.00 per night);

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; take your rubbish with you.

Fabulous weekend getaway
A group of us stayed here for the weekend. It's a delightful property and good value for money. The kitchen has all the utensils, plates etc you could imagine, and the garden is lovely. The location is great, beautiful surrounds, close to the river and some lovely walks. It is on SH2 so there the traffic noise is to be expected.

Four Generations, Three Night Stay
Perfect for our needs, a little worn in some places, but beds were comfy and linen provided. Toys for kids were an added bonus, although agree, deck totally unsuitable for unsupervised children. Gardens beautiful and Waikino pub was very hospitable and had good food. Take rubbish bags as rubbish needs to be removed which is a bit challenging with loaded vehicles. We enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend the bach to others.

Awesome stay
We had four families and a couple extras book out the place for New Year. We all loved it so much! The location was so handy to some incredible cave walks, walks to waterfalls, and Waihi beach. We loved it so much. Plenty of room for all of us - just not enough fridge/freezer space but we made do. The place could have done with a bit more of a clean before we arrived but all in all it was a neat place to stay. Would definitely go back again.
