Whether you’re chasing rays or diving into a book in the shaded nook, there’s a perfect spot waiting. Indoors flows effortlessly out thanks to wide stacker doors and a seamless open-plan layout. Inside, you'll find a warm and welcoming living area ideal for slow mornings and relaxed nights in. A well-equipped kitchen and dining space makes meals easy, while a Smart TV, puzzles, games, and even a record player offer plenty to enjoy—rain or shine. The home sleeps six guests in three comfortable queen bedrooms, all on one easy-access level. The master features a private ensuite, while the remaining two rooms share a modern family bathroom—great for families or couples travelling together. Step outside and explore Waihi Beach on foot or by bike. You’re just 450m to the popular Surf Shack café and a short ride to Bowentown Fishing Club or the local Saturday farmers market. The Athenree walkway offers scenic cycling, while nearby Anzac Bay is ideal for calm-water kayaking. In summer, the local surf patrol at Island View adds peace of mind. In winter, soak in the quieter rhythm of the beach—or in the nearby Athenree hot pools. From slow mornings to sun-drenched afternoons, The Sun Trap is a flexible, family-friendly base for exploring the best of Waihi Beach and beyond.
