Boutique chocolate shop - my favourite is mint (think fresh mint plant rather than peppermint). Delicious treat!

Sightseeing

There are many little cafes and shops on the main street of Waihi Beach that are worth a visit. You can sometimes find a bargain at the Opp shop!

My favourite beach access

I prefer this beach access for ocean beach swimming, during the summer school holidays they have lifeguards/flags. There is plenty of parking, the toilets are close by and there is a dairy a 2 minute walk away that does scoop ice-cream!

Great beach for families that dont want the waves of the ocean beach. Also can great walking tracks and view points of the beautiful scenery.

Hot pools

You can pay to use the Hot Springs, they have 1 larger pool for all ages and a smaller one for adults only - great for winter stays or those colder spring months.
