‘Lakewood 5’ is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, very comfortable home built in 2014. The tinted bi-fold doors are north facing and open onto the deck. East facing ranch sliders look out to Gilmour Lake and you can bbq out here while watching the sun set. The lounge has a Smart TV, DVD, CD’s for you pleasure and the heat pump in the cooler months will keep you nice and cosy and warm.
Behind Gilmour Lake and within 500 metres of the house is the Blackhill walking/clyce track. If you are into the outdoors then the Karangahake Gorge is just a short distance and the walking/tramping tracks around Waihi and Dickies Flat are definitely worth the effort. Waihi has the only working open cast mine that is in the middle of a town in New Zealand and also has a walking/cycle track around the circumference and is about 1 km from the house.
Not to mention Waihi Beach, 10 km of white sands and Pacific Ocean. By car it is only 10 minutes away. A beautiful beach and small village with eateries aplenty to wet your appetite especially after all that exercise!!! Waihi Beach has one of the biggest RSA’s in the land and the view is to die for.
Waihi is only 40 minutes to our nearest city – Tauranga and only 1 and a half hours to Auckland so we really are in the hub of things.
Don’t delay, book now for that weekend away to explore all that Waihi and its surrounding areas has to give.
Cycle and walking tracks
Waihi Beach
Mine tours
Eateries aplenty
Pubs, RSA’s
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The cabin is super clean and perfect for a quick getaway!" - "Karen has thought of everything in this lovely cabin, the photos don't do it justice really. Was super hot without Aircon, although of course a fan is provided. Thanks for the personal touch!:)" - "Gorgeous little cabin, nice and private, easy to check in. 2 heaters available but just one running heats up the cabin within 10 minutes to a perfect temperature (we stayed during Winter). There was a heated throw as well which was a lovely touch. The only difference is there is a table and chairs and hanging rail in the photos but it is now a sofa and the rail is gone. Thanks so much for letting us stay!"

We've lived here and this is what appeals to us:
Peaceful, quiet, birdlife, and only 2 km to town, which is easily walkable through the Matha Mine Pit Rim. There is an acre of land with a horse that lives in the paddock. He loves carrots and bread!
Waihi Beach 12 minutes away. 10km of white, sandy beach plus Anzac Bay, Whiritoa Beach, fishing, kayaking, walking, tennis.
Copious amounts of cycle trails and walking trails.
Plus restaurants galore, the Boating Club has a courtesy van as does the Beach RSA so transport solved for those who want a few drinks.
- "The property is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and relaxed. Karen is an amazing friendly host, so easy to talk with. Absolutely enjoyed staying here, we highly recommend others to stay here." - "Thank you for having us. The house was close to town and really enjoyed the animals in the paddock. Nice and clean. Karen I forgot to mention that I had washed the bedding in bedroom 2. I had to get back to Auckland on Sunday evening but fiances parents stayed on. I will send out my recommendations. Thanks again."

5 minute drive to the Hauraki Rail Trail and the award-winning Falls Retreat restaurant.
10 minutes drive into the heart of the Karangahake Gorge and Waihi and 15 minutes through to Paeroa or out to Waihi Beach.
Extensively renovated in 2017, the cottage is fully insulated (walls, ceiling and floor) and has a modern fireplace, heat transfer system and high quality panel heating - perfect for winter getaways as well as dreamy summer days on the deck.
Feel free to wander across the land, pat the donkeys and chat to the cows. Dean's Track crosses our southern paddock and Waitawheta Track starts adjacent to our property.
We live on the farm approximately 100m away but out of view and with a respect for your privacy. Please note that our driveway does pass the cottage.
Linen is provided. This includes sheets, duvets, pillows, bath towels and mat, hand towels and tea towels. Please note the second bedroom is a bunk bed configuration. Double on the bottom and single on the top.

For long stays of 10 days or more, the cottage is serviced every 7 days at no extra charge. This includes a basic cottage clean, fresh bed linen and removal of rubbish and recycling. This is to ensure the end of stay clean does not become unmanageable for us in the four hours allowed for between guests, and also to increase the enjoyment of your stay!

- "This diamond gem has all that you need and more. Access to the train station, minutes from the township (walking distance even), playgrounds a plenty and is only a 5-7mins drive to the main beach Waihi and away from the hustle and bustle of Waihi beach (which is a thing during summer at Waihi Beach). The home was well equipped and spacious. The street was quiet and the enclosed property made for some awesome privacy for our often times a little noisy fanau. I would recommend this place for anyone wanting a quick and affordable get away and it being so close to Hamilton is a real draw card. My family and I will be back in the future."

We are a friendly, family-owned motel located in a lovely quiet location in historical Waihi. With 10 spacious, warm and comfortable units we can accommodate most types of guests including corporate stays, weekend getaways for couples and families or longer stays for those who want to explore the diverse local area. There is so much to see and do! Our motel is a short walk to Waihi’s town center which has many lovely cafés and restaurants to choose from as well as a great range of locally owned stores and boutiques where you can browse and shop. Martha Mine is a must-see attraction while you’re in town with daily tours available to book, or the free rim walk (a 3.1 mi loop) is a great alternative. The start (or end, depending on which way you choose to explore it) of the Hauraki Rail Trail is only a quick two minute bike ride from our door, making us the perfect spot to base yourself for this adventure. The gorgeous Karangahake Gorge walkways are easily accessible by bike or walking via the trail, or you can choose to ride the heritage Goldfields Railway into the Waikino Station and start your adventures from there. We can assist with bike hire and transportation arrangements too, making your experience as seamless and easy as possible. Because of our location right at the base of the glorious Coromandel Peninsula, day trips from here are easily possible and Waihi Beach is only a 15 minute car ride away. We offer free unlimited fiber WIFI, with connected Smart TVs allowing you to sign in to your favorite streaming platforms such as Netflix or Lightbox. Take a break and visit us here at the Goldmine Motel. We would love to see you.

It was very clean and comfortable and, although compact, it had everything we needed including some breakfast items.
