The best of Waihi Beach and Bowentown
Food scene
Waihi Beach is a hub of activity, shops, cafes, beach, surfing, bars, it has it all. Here are a few of my top tips for eating out.
You have a choice of cafes and restaurants. One that stands out is Flat White, right on the beach with the best views, great menu, and counter food. Allpress coffee but you do have to ask for a double shot. Open for breakfast to dinner.
Secret Garden is in the heart of the town, it's like a tropical garden oasis with a Mexican twist. Great coffee, good cocktails and their food is Mexican street style. Counter food is great and the scones are the best in town. They have DJ's on the weekends.
The Waihi Beach Surf Club has the best and cheapest bacon butties, sit on the deck with the best views of the beach. They have a small menu but it's great for burgers, chips, toasties. Open only for the summer from Labour weekend to the end of March.
Waihi Beach RSA: Up on the hill and the best views in town and you cant beat a great roast lunch or dinner. Extensive menu for everyone and a great space to enjoy with the kids. Pool tables, darts, and bands most weekends.

You get the best of both worlds in Bowentown when it comes to beaches, the surf on one side and the calm of Anzac Bay on the other. Head up the top of the domain and check out which beach will suit your needs for the day. It's a great walk from the house.
The Bowentown camp ground has a little cafe, Froth which serves great coffees, hot chocolates and sweet treats.

Sightseeing
Karangahake Gorge is a fantastic place for all ages. Take the bikes and start the Hauraki Rail Trail from Waihi township to the train where you can catch the train back to your car, or carry on to Paeroa and pre-organise a taxi van back to your car.
There are many walks in the Gorge for all fitness levels, check the map by the swing bridge and you can learn about the old mines and tunnels along the way. Check out the swimming holes too.
