This is truly an amazing place to stay and they accept small dogs which we were so grateful for. The place is immaculate and had the most fantastic bed. It had everything you need for a getaway. We definitely will be back and tell our friends about it.
Ideal place for a few days away with great bed, shower, privacy and everything needed to make your stay comfortable! Very quiet and peaceful which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back!

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.

Private and characterful. Nice outdoor area. Perfectly proportioned for a couple to stay.
The place was modern and comfortable, a really nice space to relax. Good kitchen equipment provided and the TV swivels between the bedroom and lounge which was great. Thanks for the fast and easy check-in and good communication.
The space is small and quite lovely. Particularly enjoyed the deck which extended the space and was both a cool, quiet, and private. On a nice, quiet road that’s a short walk to the ocean.
beautiful little bach in Athenree, not too far from Tauranga, Waihi beach, Waihi, and Karangahake gorge. Perfect place to chill out and relax. had everything we needed for our stay.
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.
Lovely weekend away. Such a great space, so well set out and everything you could need! Made extra special by being able to have our dog stay with us. Fully fenced yard for peace of mind.
So close to Waihi beach and Bowentown.
This is a very clean and tidy little property with everything I needed for a self-catering stay. Athenree is an extremely peaceful and laid back place, de-stress was instant. Very friendly and responsive hosts, before and during my stay. Loved the hot pools down the road.
Clean, comfortable & thoughtfully decorated. Lovely quiet area. Enjoyed the outside room. Great bed. Will definitely come back. I left a good hairbrush behind and Sue notified me & is sending it by courier - really appreciated.

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.
