Things to do in Waihi

Waihi Beach itself is the star attraction, stretching over 9 kilometres of golden sand, ideal for swimming, surfing, and beach games. Surfing lessons and rental gear are available for beginners wanting to try their hand at catching a wave. For quieter pursuits, guests can take long walks along the shoreline, build sandcastles, or enjoy beachside picnics.

Beyond the beach, the surrounding area provides plenty of opportunities for adventure and exploration. The Waihi Gold Mine offers guided tours that delve into the region’s rich history, providing a fascinating insight into New Zealand’s mining heritage. Spike’s Bricks & Models is a local favourite for younger visitors, offering hands-on fun with building sets and interactive displays.

Local attractions are also within easy reach of Beachaven. The Martha Mine Pit Rim Walkway provides a 4km loop around the open-pit mine, offering views of the historic mining site. Coastal trails and hidden swimming holes provide opportunities for adventure, while nearby cafés and eateries, such as the Waihi Beach Dairy and Seaside Fish and Chips, ensure you can enjoy a meal without travelling far.
