A lovely, relaxing comfortable stay. We had family staying at Bowentown, so this was close enough to stay, but "do our own thing" too. The unit has everything to make your stay easy - from sheets & towels to cook top, microwave & air-fryer & a swiveling TV that can be viewed either in the bedroom or lounge.

Comfortable Studio in Great Location
Studio had been thoughtfully and newly decorated and provided all kitchen and bathroom assessories for a lovely stay. Nice to have a private deck with comfy outdoor furniture. Here for 5 days and still lots to do! Accommodation 5mins walking distance from mineral hot pools- also not far by car to Waihi Beach village with shops and restaurants. Bowentown Reserve provided spectacular views - a must!

Smart little tiny house. The only downside of its design is that I kept catching my shoulder on the edge of the wall-mounted TV - poorly thought out by the designers: should have been mounted on the other side of the window.

Small studio unit that is very well set out with everything that we needed. The outdoor room and the patio area is a lovely bonus. Easy walk along to the water views. We did find the winter bed linen hot. A good short stay stop.

Our Overnight Getway
We loved our overnight stay at Athenree Haven, it's such a quaint little place and Sue and her hubby have made the space nice and private. I love tiny living and it was perfect for what we wanted to do - which was hang out at the beach and have some downtime. We appreciated being able to bring our dog - a 7kg carvoodle - to stay with us. At first, we thought the place was too open to let Darcy off-leash, but Sue shut the gate to the whole property not long after we arrived, which allowed our little girl to explore as she wanted, safely. Grateful for that. The only issue happened when we were leaving the next day. Darcy wasn't interested in getting in the car, so played 'catch me if you can' and found her way into the backyard of Sue's gated personal space. It took a fair bit of coaxing, and angry eyes, to get her back, th. Thankfully, Sue's hubby was very gracious with us retrieving her. Sue had given us a towel for Darcy for any accidents, but we had brought along waterproof pads, just in case - no accidents were had. The bed is comfortable and the internet works well. It's a fantastic spot to take it easy. Will book this place again in the future. Thanks for being great hosts, Sue

Lovely modern compact place to stay. Internet was unstable which affected TV, phones and laptop. We left after one night as it wasn’t what we were expecting and the host gave us a partial refund.

Perfectly sized for two of us. The right amount of space to snooze, read, eat and walk from. The beach at Waihi Beach was lovely and we enjoyed local yoga and massages. A very relaxing holiday.

Falling into Spring
Second time staying here and loved it again. Beautiful and comfortable cabin. Even though the weather was miserable we still had a chilled, relaxing weekend. Property fenced off, so ideal for our furbaby (Maltese x Shitzu) was perfectly safe. A stone's through away from the hotsprings and bay. We will be back!
