Waihi Beach Top 10 Holiday Resort - The Place To Be

The coastal town of Waihi Beach hosts some of the friendliest people in New Zealand. Even the local policemen will pull you over to give directions and craft shows will offer entry fee discounts for large groups of people.

In amongst it all is Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort, a local gem that provides top quality accommodation all year round.

Just a short and relaxing drive from Tauranga, Hamilton and Auckland, Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort is located next to one of the safest surf beaches in the country. Nestled in a natural environment of trees and bush, it is an idyllic place of paradise for both the young and old. “It’s a bit of a hidden secret,” says Waihi Beach Top 10 Holiday Resort operations manager, Malcolm Rowe.

However, it is a secret that travellers love to uncover and never want to leave alone. This is evident from the great number of visitors that return to the resort each year.For those people that have not stayed at a holiday resort in a while, “return”, “relax” and “revive” are the three key words that are used to invite them to this one. The invitation is genuine as Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort has all of the necessities needed for a luxurious stay.

“Gone are the days of cold showers and lumpy mattresses, holiday parks have changed! We’ve recognised that we are competing against hotels and motels so we’ve upped the game,” say owners Ian and Vicki Smith. They have definitely done their homework as Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort has Qualmark 5-star rated facilities – including a heated 25m pool/spa, gym, sauna and excellent customer service.

Although quality accommodation is essential, it is not the only aspect that is embraced by the team at Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort. Support for the community and environment also plays a part in their day-to-day lives. Ian holds an important position in the community as Chief Fire Officer of the Waihi Beach Fire Brigade. He gives 5-6 hours of his time every week in this role. Employees at the resort are also encouraged to volunteer locally.

In terms of the environment, the team at Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort is guided by two principles: Kaitiakitanga and Manaakitanga. They have graciously taken it upon themselves to care for, protect and manage the piece of New Zealand that they call home.

Visitor engagement is yet another component that gives the resort that special something. Fantastic family fun around holidays is just one of the many things that the team does to add value to their visitors’ vacations. With events such as high jump on their huge jumping pillow, pool volleyball and short film contests, the whole family can get involved. So if you are looking for accommodation over the holidays or just a weekend getaway, there is no doubt that Waihi Beach TOP 10 Holiday Resort is the place to be!
